Things are blooming in DC's "Garden of Diversity"

Urban Community Diverse Mass Transit Park Space Family-Friendly

Washington, DC's Shepherd Park is closer to Downtown Silver Spring than Downtown DC -- half a mile and five miles respectively -- but that just means more options for residents of this very popular northwest neighborhood. For those who crave the convenience of an urban neighborhood while longing for the tree-lined streets and family-friendly atmosphere of the suburbs, Shepherd Park is ideal. It is also affordable by DC standards, and it offers a rich diversity and elegant architecture.

Shepherd Park is a tight-knit community, offering events like neighborhood picnics and community yard sales. The Shepherd Park Citizen's Association offers a monthly newsletter to keep residents informed of upcoming events. When looking at Shepherd Park rentals, the neighborhood extends from the DC/Maryland border along Eastern Avenue south along Georgia Avenue. The popular Rock Creek Park borders the neighborhood on the west side.
