A worth visiting place for everyone

15th Street NW, Washington, District of Columbia, United States

This street goes around on one side of the Washington Monument. Its a stunning experience to see the monument, its definitely huge. Much bigger than it looks in the pictures. With a huge green patch around it, the white Washington Monument which is an obelisk...

I was there on the 1st of January and stayed at the Plaza hotel. This place is very near to the White House, the Obelisk, and lots of other monuments. Its absolutely great to have a walk around the place. If you are planning to go there, please do not use a ca...

27th Street on Rose Park

  • 4/5
I just bought a rowhouse on the park. I like this section of the street as it is not a through street like P or Wisconsin. Quieter. Plus it is right across from the park. It also has good proximity to M Street shopping, very close, but still appears very r...

Too many things to do and places to go

Vernon Street NW, Washington, District of Columbia, District of Columbia, United States
By rwchambe on Mar 06, 2008
  • 4/5
Vernon St. is right between the 3 best areas in my opinion in DC. Its closest to Adams Morgan which is just up 18th street, next to U street, and also Dupont Circle North. There are so many bars, restaurants and night life around. The Red line is about a 10 mi...

Great urban location, but has the normal urban downsides

13th Street NW, Washington, District of Columbia, United States

Ellicott Street is my new home. The best part? My neighbors! We have neighborhood parties and tons of spirit. Nestled between Mazza Galleria and Tenley Circle, Ellicott Street feels like a world away from busy but beautiful Washington, D.C. We have Fort R...

Near the Hill

This is a great place to work and play. More and more condos are going up in this area, so it's starting to adopt more community feeling.

Great Neighborhood

16th Street NW, Washington, District of Columbia, United States
By rwchambe on Apr 17, 2007
  • 4/5
I live up the hill a little across from the park which is really nice. There is definitely a fair amount of traffic on 16th St since it is a major road into the city, but the advantage is that taxis are really easy to get most of the time.

One somewhat ann...
