DC's hidden gem

Walkable • Green Space • Historic • Zoo • DC • Urban • Bicycle-Friendly •

Situated south of Mount Pleasant and north of Adams Morgan, Lanier Heights is a small neighborhood that blends seamlessly into the larger Adams Morgan neighborhood. The National Zoo begins along the northwest side, and Downtown DC is just over a mile to the south. With its elegant row houses, tree-lined streets, Art Deco homes, and charming apartment buildings, Lanier Heights is one of DC's historic hidden gems.

The neighborhood began as one of Washington DC's earliest subdivisions, established around 1883. Residents enjoy fast access to the National Zoo, Rock Creek Park Trails, and Walter Pierce Park, which is located in the neighborhood and offers ball courts and fields, a playground, chess tables, and a dog park.
