WOODLEY PARK REAL ESTATE

Quiet but centrally located neighborhood.


Woodley Park is located besides the Smithsonian National Zoological Park to the northwest of Washington, D.C. Conceived of as a quiet summer retreat close to Dupont Circle in the 1870s, Woodley Park combines a genteel, old-world atmosphere with easy access to Downtown D.C. via its Red Line Metro station. Known as the greenest D.C. district, the real estate in Woody Park perfectly balances calm and convenience.

The grand hotels at Woodley Park’s southern end and the elegant, early-20th century rowhouses lining Connecticut Avenue are pristinely preserved artifacts of the neighborhood’s birth as a community of summer homes. Luxurious modern apartment and condominium buildings rise skyward further north on Connecticut Avenue, providing spectacular views over the city.
