Love where you live? We want to hear about it! After a year and a half and 32 neighborhoods, our Where We Live feature is nearing retirement. But before it goes we want to make sure we’ve covered all the neighborhoods in the DC region that meet the [...]
Where We Live: College Park

College Park is best known for the University of Maryland and its 36,000 students, but there is so much more to this community than just the university. College Park is full of great restaurants, shops, running trails, arts and cultural opportunities, sporting events, and more. Sure, it’s got a [...]
Where We Live: Silver Spring

Most Where We Live features focus on neighborhoods of a couple thousand people, but this week we’re tackling the third most populous place in Maryland: Silver Spring, a community of over 76,000 people. So while half of Montgomery County seems to have Silver Spring mailing addresses (making the city larger [...]

Welcome to another edition of Where We Live. This week we’re focusing on Ballston, the western end of Arlington’s fabulous Rosslyn-Ballston corridor. Ballston offers a great balance between access to Northern Virginia (like Tysons/Fairfax/Farlington) and access to DC, and it’s actually a pretty cool place to live and hang out.
History: Ballston [...]
Where We Live: Bethesda

It’s time Where We Live ventured into Maryland. And where better to start than Bethesda, the DC suburb that feels more like a city than many parts of DC. Bethesda is the perfect balance of city life and access to suburbs for its residents, and it has so much [...]

After profiling 22 neighborhoods in the District, it’s time Where We Live headed out to the suburbs. This week we’re focusing on Court House, an urban neighborhood in the middle of Arlington’s Rosslyn-Ballston corridor. Sure, it’s technically a ’suburb’, but with a movie theater, multiple grocery stores, tons of bars and [...]

Welcome back to Where We Live, your bi-weekly tour of the District’s neighborhoods. This week the focus is Near Southeast, which is also commonly known as Navy Yard or Capitol Riverfront. This neighborhood has been completely transformed over the past several years, and the construction of the Nationals Stadium has redefined the [...]

Hi, and welcome to another edition of Where We Live. This week, we’ll be looking at a DC neighborhood that is older than DC– Georgetown! Home to beautiful architecture, a thriving commercial district, and a major university, Georgetown probably draws more out-of-towners than any other DC neighborhood (except maybe Adams Morgan on [...]
Where We Live: Columbia Heights

Another Friday, another neighborhood. This week’s Where We Live focuses on a neighborhood that has reinvented itself over the past ten years, Columbia Heights. Columbia Heights has a lot to offer, from beautiful residential areas to the massive new DC USA development, and it’s got a pretty [...]

Welcome to another edition of Where We Live. This week we’ll be looking at a whole section of the city that is rapidly changing: the section of Northeast DC north of Massachusetts Avenue and south of Florida Avenue. This area has a LOT of different names: Near Northeast, H Street, the Atlas [...]
Where We Live: Capitol Hill

This week we’ll be looking at the Capitol Hill neighborhood. This neighborhood could probably be called the largest in DC, since essentially anything east of the Capitol, north/west of the Anacostia River, and south of Union Station is generally known as Capitol Hill. The area [...]
