Peaceful living with views of the National Cathedral
Cathedral Heights is a passageway back in time, characterized by historic homes and views of the striking Washington National Cathedral. The landmark dates back to 1907 and is still open to visitors to explore its gothic interiors and 59 acres of garden space. “People love living near the Cathedral,” says Samer Kruashai, Realtor and founder of The ONE Street Company. “They frequently have events on the front lawn.” Those include art classes, craft shows and a Flower Mart. The neighborhood is often “referred to as a hidden gem tucked between some of the more popular neighborhoods,” says Kathleen Battista, a lifelong Washington, D.C. native and an associate broker with Cathedral Realty. “You get the seclusion because you’re not on top of Metro stops, but plenty of restaurants and grocery stores are nearby.”
The National Cathedral in Cathedral Heights is surrounded by multiple Catholic schools.
Washington National Cathedral in Cathedral Heights is a house of prayer for all people.

Historic homes and midcentury condos
“It’s an older section of Washington, and you get a real mixture of homes,” Battista says. “Most of my sales have been in the same building called the Westchester, which is a co-op. You’ve also got rowhouses and beautiful, older homes.” Co-ops and condos with amenities like fitness centers, pools and private parking range from $165,000 to $450,000 for one-bedroom options. Larger units with city views fall between $620,000 and $1 million. Ivy-covered colonials, Tudors with stone facades and new construction also flank the neighborhood’s quiet, tree-lined streets. Price points for these homes start at $1.8 million and can climb to $7.3 million for a six-bedroom, eight-bathroom property with an in-ground pool.

Forested trails in the 183-acre Glover Archbold Park
Streamside, mixed terrain trails meander through Glover Archbold Park, which once served as a streetcar service in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The 183-acre heavily forested green space is home to plenty of wildlife, including white-tailed deer, that hikers spot while exploring the pathways that lead to the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Trail system near the Potomac River. The nature-themed AstroTurf playground at Newark Park appeals to families who enjoy its secluded feel, surrounded by trees and metal fencing. There’s also a fenced-in space for dogs to run around off-leash, complete with a water fountain and benches for dog owners. Tucked away next to the dog park is a community garden spread out across 4 acres. Locals have been purchasing plots here since 1975 and growing everything from daffodils and sunflowers to fresh produce. Large trees provide shade for people who want to have a picnic or relax with a book from one of the neighborhood’s little libraries.

Eclectic eateries along Wisconsin Avenue
Getting around Cathedral Heights is easy by car, bike or foot. The nearest grocery stores, Giant Food and Wegmans, validate parking – a luxury within D.C. afforded in this neighborhood. For quick pickups, there is also a CVS nearby. Wisconsin Avenue is home to some of the city’s most popular restaurants, including 2 Amy’s, which Battista says “wins awards almost every year.” Locals have been meeting for margaritas at Cactus Cantina since 1990. For brunch, grab a seat at La Piquette and try the Duck L’orange. The locally owned French restaurant has quaint chalkboard menus and an extensive wine list that completes its upscale, bistro atmosphere. Raku offers a more modern vibe and is a go-to spot for sushi.

While the properties themselves can be beautiful and well-staffed with friendly people, the rent here is absurd even living outside of downtown.

Not enough chain restaurants for someone who likes to use coupons and gift cards, but there is no shortage of interesting and unique foods and places - both in tastes of the food they serve and the atmosphere they offer.
