An English-style village nestled in America’s capital
Real estate developer Henry Boss took inspiration from the Tudor-style houses of Tewkesbury, England, when he began designing the northwest Washington, D.C., community of Foxhall in 1925. This plot of hilly terrain between the Potomac River and Georgetown University was once the estate of Henry Foxall, former mayor of Georgetown, ironworking tycoon and supplier of U.S. canons during the War of 1812. Foxall was the neighborhood’s intended namesake, but when early signage included a stray “H,” Boss kept it. Now a designated historic district, Foxhall is known for its unique design and walkable location. “The rowhouses look like something straight out of an English village. There’s nowhere else in the city that looks like this,” says Erin Sobanski, a Realtor with Compass who also lives in Foxhall. “We’ve got this lovely park-like layout, so there are always people out walking and kids running around.” Cherry blossom and mulberry trees dot grassy traffic circles popular for picnics and soccer games. Strolling through densely forested Glover-Archbold Park leads to the Gothic Revival-style buildings of Georgetown University and then to Georgetown’s main shopping district, home to chain retailers and cozy bars.
Welcome to Foxhall, a historic neighborhood in northwest Washington, DC.

Historic rowhouses and lush greenery in Foxhall
Century-old Tudor Revival-style rowhouses and sidewalks line Foxhall’s winding roads. Concrete staircases and shrub-covered retaining walls climb up the neighborhood's rolling terrain, leading to houses made of brick, stucco and timber framing. Wooden fences enclose small backyards, with homes typically sitting on 5,000-square-foot lots. Houses backing up to alleyways may have detached garages, but street parking is also common. Compared to a D.C. home’s average $600,000 selling price, two-bedroom houses here can start at $1.2 million, while five-bedroom options may reach $1.6 million. The neighborhood is a designated historic district, meaning D.C.’s Historic Preservation Office must approve most exterior changes to houses. “We can paint the stucco any color we want, and we can have solar panels as long as they aren’t visible,” Sobanski says. “They just don’t want us massively changing the façade. Our roofs have to be made of real slate, and every front door has to be made of wood.”Georgetown University is just half a mile east of Foxhall, but the neighborhood doesn’t have a student population. “Students have to live on campus for three years. Plus, there’s not a huge rental market in the neighborhood.” Sobanski says. However, she adds that doctors who work at the on-campus MedStar Georgetown University Hospital often live here. “I’ve sold a few houses to doctors because they can walk or bike to work along Reservoir Road.” The hospital has a cancer treatment center, emergency room and neuroscience department, and it employs over 3,000 people.

Glover-Archbold Park connects to a few other trails
Managed by the National Park Service, Glover-Archbold Park’s red maple and American Elm tree forests span 183 acres along the neighborhood’s eastern edge. “Foxhall houses don’t have a ton of outdoor space, so Glover-Archbold Park and all the other trails it connects to are essentially our backyard,” Sobanski says. The park’s two-and-a-half mile-long dirt trail runs north from Van Ness Street and south to the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal Towpath, once trekked by mules tugging boats along the waterway in the 19th century. Today, hikers, joggers and bike riders can follow the 184-mile waterside route, stretching from Georgetown to Cumberland, Maryland. South of the canal, the 11-mile Capital Crescent Trail extends the banks of the Potomac River and the now-abandoned Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. “Capital Crescent goes all the way up to Bethesda, so bike riders use it to commute into the city,” Sobanski says.

Locals can walk to Georgetown University
Established in 1789, Georgetown University is the oldest Catholic college in the United States. The school offers over 100 undergraduate majors, like international relations, biology and business. During the day, students sit under giant green ash trees and study on the grassy quad in front of Healy Hall, a Gothic Revival-style administration building and library. Sobanski says the campus is also popular for non-students. “There’s a path that cuts across Glover-Archbold Park and leads straight to campus, which people love to walk around because it’s so beautiful.” Starting at P Street NW, locals can walk across the park to McDonough Arena, where the school’s volleyball and women’s basketball teams play. Continuing through campus, they’ll pass by the Jesuit Cemetery, where 17 university presidents are buried, and the Dahlgreen Chapel, a Romanesque Revival-style church with public masses every Sunday.Every September, Georgetown Community Day invites surrounding neighborhoods to Healy Lawn for a block party-style celebration. A DJ spins beats as kids jump in bounce houses, get their faces painted and take pictures with Jack the Bulldog, the school's live mascot. The day ends with a football game at Cooper Field. While the football team is in the lesser-known Patriots League, the school’s NCAA Division I men’s basketball team plays at the Capital One Arena, 4 miles east.

Several ways to reach downtown D.C.
Though Foxhall is walkable, it’s also convenient for several types of travel. Downtown D.C. is a 3-mile drive east, but Sobanski warns that traffic often affects commute time. “It can take about 30 minutes to drive downtown, and that’s if traffic is light,” she says. “Most people here just take the bus downtown to avoid parking.” Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority bus stops line Reservoir Road NW and Foxhall Road NW. The closest Metro station is less than 3 miles east in Dupont Circle. A 2-mile drive south leads to Interstate 66, which soon connects to Interstate 495, locally called the Capital Beltway. The Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport is less than 6 miles south of the neighborhood, while Washington Dulles International Airport is 25 miles west.

Sandwiches in the neighborhood, shopping in Georgetown
Now a D.C.-area chain restaurant, Jetties’ original location is in the neighborhood’s Tudor Revival-style shopping strip on Foxhall Road NW. Since 2003, locals have walked to the counter service spot for sandwiches, salads and ice cream cones. Murals of Nantucket’s Jettie Beach adorn the walls, and dark blue umbrellas shade picnic tables outside. The shopping center also has a nail salon, dental studio and dry cleaner. Still, Sobanski says people often travel on foot about a mile and a half east to M Street, Georgetown’s main shopping strip. “It may seem kind of far, but most of us walk there,” she says. “I either walk through campus, or I take the towpath.” Locally owned boutiques, upscale restaurants and chain stores like Lululemon and Patagonia fill the strip’s Beaux-Arts and Federal-style storefronts, dating back to the 1700s. Locals can stroll to Filomena Ristorante, known for its kitschy décor and Italian classics, then head down the street to Mr. Smith’s, a dimly lit pub and piano bar here since 1965. Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods Market and Safeway are all less than 2 miles northeast of the neighborhood on Wisconsin Avenue.
Community meetings and a playground at Hardy Recreation Center
On Q Street NW, lime green twisty slides, climbing structures and a splash pad sit behind the Hardy Recreation Center. Inside, people can play table tennis or watch a movie. “There’s not a fitness center or anything like that, but it’s still a super active community hub,” Sobanski says. “We rent it out for all my kid's birthday parties.” The ranch-style building also hosts monthly Foxhall Community Citizens Association meetings. Residents aren't required to join the group, but donations and yearly dues fund traffic circle landscaping and community events. On Halloween, people gather for Foxhall Fright, where kids paint pumpkins and sip punch at the Lower Q Street Circle before trick-or-treating; the night ends with live music under Hardy Park’s pavilion.
