Glover Park, Washington DC : Profile of a DC Neighborhood

Every month I will feature a different DC neighborhood.

This month features: Glover Park.

Glover Park is an area in North West Washington DC; just North-West of Georgetown and West of Observatory Circle, where the Us Navy Observatory is located; and more importantly, the Vice-Presidential Mansion.

A small neighborhood, (about 1 square mile); it is bordered by parks to the West (Glover-Archibold Park) and South (Whitehaven Park); with easy access to retail shops and restaurants along nearby Wisconsin Avenue to the East.

Glover Park is home to many DC residents, including home to the nearby Russian Embassy. What makes Glover Park so likable by many residents; are the surrounding parks. The community has a very green, suburban feel - with smaller residential streets and so many trees - this community is surprisingly quiet, especially considering it's proximity to the rest of the city.

Much of residential buildings were built in the 1920s and 30s. Apartment buildings - many of which are now condos - as well as row-houses, make up the neighborhood.

While Glover Park does not have a Metro -subway station - several bus routes run through the area and provide access to Georgetown, Dupont and downtown, as well as several Subway stations.

Along with (of course) a nearby Starbucks, restaurants such as Bistro Lepic, Heritage India and Sushi-Ko, are favorites of the residents.

The community also has a a nearby Safeway Grocery Store and a Whole Foods Market.

Glover Park is a very affordable Neighborhood in the District. One bedroom condos are for sale from $265,000 to $350,000 and two bedroom condos sell for low as $335,000.

Recent 2 bedroom row houses have sold for as low as $599,000.
