A charming and distinguished community
You may recognize Bloomingdale’s row of historic homes as it flashes across the screen during the opening credits of the Netflix series “House of Cards.” Unlike the show, though, the popularity of this distinguished residential district is unlikely to blow over any time soon. “Bloomingdale is a special neighborhood that has a definite community feel to it. There are charming restaurants and lots of fun places to go,” says Katherine Pennington, a Realtor with Fleisher/Arrowood of Compass who has extensive experience in the local real estate market. “If you can, take a Saturday afternoon stroll around Bloomingdale. You’ll meet friendly people and find so much to do,” recommends Realtor Pennington.

Unique homes with loads of character
The neighborhood was built between 1892 and 1916, and today it is defined by an assemblage of late 19th- and early 20th-century dwellings tucked behind leafy shade trees and well-maintained sidewalks. The streets in Bloomingdale unfold into a montage of Victorian and Georgian Revival row houses that take structural liberties such as stone steps, wrought iron fences and raised flower beds. Most row houses feature inviting front porches, heralding back to the days when neighbors would sit outdoors and chat with one another. “This is a great location for people who are ready to move out of a condo but aren’t quite ready to buy a full home,” notes Pennington. Home prices in the neighborhood average between $400,000 for a 2-bedroom, nearly 800-square-foot condominium to almost $1.8 million for a 5-bedroom Federal-style row house.

McKinley Middle School has a C-plus rating and a student-teacher ratio of 11-1. Dunbar Senior High School also has a C rating and a student-teacher ratio of 16-1.

Students underwent rigorous training at the school before heading to the Florida Keys for the certification test.
Secret parks and playgrounds
Also known as “the secret park,” Crispus Attucks Park is a hidden 1-acre sanctuary of flowers, grass and trees. Forty years ago, this green oasis was littered with a burned-out building and chunks of asphalt and concrete. Thanks to a cadre of determined neighborhood residents who rolled up their sleeves and got to work, the little one-block-wide park is now a beloved community gem. Bloomingdale’s runners and joggers will appreciate the 3-mile loop trail around nearby McMillan Reservoir. A few blocks away, LeDroit Park has two playgrounds, a splash pad, exercise equipment and a dog park for Fido to run off-leash.

Bodegas, bands and bistros
Bloomingdale scoffs at big-box retailers and leans into the hyperlocal appeal of bodegas and corner stores. Popular pit stops for pantry staples include U First Mart and Rafael Grocery. Open year-round, the Bloomingdale Farmers’ Market draws a crowd to the intersection of R Street and Florida Avenue. The bustling marketplace offers fresh produce, baked goods and handmade cheeses. Corner bistros and art cafés toss gossip and gourmand aromas into the streets. It’s not unusual to spot a patio full of diners at Big Bear Cafe chowing down on one of its beloved wood-fired pizzas or porchetta sandwiches. Exposed-brick dive bar Showtime Lounge draws a crowd, often hosting DJ sets and open mic nights. Locals trek from all corners of the community to sing along with Granny & The Boys, the infamous house band with a woman in her 90s at the helm.

Things to do and see
Since there isn’t a better place to be on Independence Day than Washington, D.C., walk or Uber — don’t drive, there’s no parking — the 2 miles to the U.S. Capitol and National Mall to enjoy a day of parades, concerts and fireworks. Locally, residents and friends count the days until the biennial Bloomingdale House Tour & Art Show. The event, led by the Bloomingdale Civic Association, invites locals to learn about the community’s history. Bloomingdale Community Day, held at Crispus Attucks Park, showcases local artisans, musicians and eateries.

I lived in Bloomingdale where I owned a place for 5 years. It's a great little neighborhood, in the city but with the "small town" feel. There is a big sense of community and belonging in the neighborhood. Ultimately we moved for 2 reasons: to be closer to our jobs and for more space than a 2 bdr condo could afford.
