A plantation turned streetcar suburb in northwest D.C.
The northwest Washington, D.C., historic district of Kalorama Triangle was first established as a cattle plantation before becoming a lively streetcar suburb. Joel Barlow, one of the original landowners in the early 1800s, dubbed the area Kalorama, meaning “fine view” in Greek, for its hilly terrain overlooking the city. By the early 1900s, the plot was fully subdivided as streetcar lines expanded north. Today, the neighborhood honors its history in various ways. The lives of enslaved people are remembered at Kalorama Park and Walter Pierce Park, both a part of the National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom. And many of the original 20th-century rowhouses and apartment buildings still stand. “The architecture here is stunning and really well-preserved. A lot of people buy homes here simply because it’s such a beautiful place to live and walk around,” says Kate Foster-Bankey, a Realtor with Compass and a former resident. She adds that walkability to Columbia Avenue NW and the Adams Morgan neighborhood is also a draw for homebuyers. “It’s very suburban and quiet, but then you’re just a few minutes away from some of the best bars and restaurants in the city.” The neighborhood is also within walking distance of two Metro stations, several bus stops and the Rock Creek Trail.
Nothing beats the thrill of racing against the urban Kalorama Triangle traffic.

A variety of architecture in Kalorama Triangle
Condo buildings, rowhouses and apartment complexes built between the early 1900s and ‘30s sit along Kalorama Triangle’s sidewalk-lined streets, where renters make up 53% of the neighborhood. Parking on the street or in alleyways is common here. Condos, often in Beaux Arts-style buildings, typically have one to two bedrooms and cost between $300,000 and $675,000. Most rowhouses have Romanesque or Georgian Revival architecture and can have between two and six bedrooms. Prices for these start at $750,000 and can reach more than $1.5 million. The neighborhood is a designated historic district, meaning D.C.’s Historic Preservation Office must approve most exterior changes made to a property.
Kalorama Triangle offers many unique arch styles of homes and many one way streets.

Two parks on the National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom
When the neighborhood was a plantation, the main house sat atop what is now Kalorama Park. In 1861, Hortense Prout, a 20-year-old enslaved girl, tried to escape the plantation and flee to a nearby Union Army camp. Prout was caught, and her attempt is honored through Kalorama Park’s placement on the National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom, a program commemorating resistance to enslavement. Historical markers about Prout and the plantation dot the green space’s sidewalk network. Though the park is only 3 acres, Foster-Bankey says it’s an active neighborhood spot. “Parents and kids walk there after school and on the weekends. It’s packed with a bunch of different things to do for such a small park.” Kids can run around the two playgrounds, basketball players can shoot hoops on the court and locals with green thumbs can rent plots in the community garden.
Walter Pierce Park, on the neighborhood’s northern edge, also belongs to the Network to Freedom. The land was once the site of a Quaker Cemetery and a burial ground for enslaved people and soldiers in the U.S. Colored Infantry during the Civil War. Howard University has conducted several archeological digs here, though over 8,000 bodies remain buried. It’s now home to a playground and dog park, and there’s signage detailing the history of both cemeteries and listing the names of those buried there.
Kalorama Park hosts a variety of outdoor spaces for recreation.

Restaurants on Columbia Avenue NW and in nearby Adams Morgan
Locally owned restaurants fill limestone buildings and mixed-used apartment complexes along Columbia Avenue NW on the neighborhood’s eastern edge. Sliding windows pour light into Lapis, a contemporary-style eatery serving craft cocktails and Afghan food. Perry’s is a sushi restaurant with drag brunches on Sunday and a rooftop cocktail bar. Grocery stores along the street include Yes! Organic Market and Streets Market. Even with these neighborhood options, Foster-Bankey says locals still walk to 18th Street NW, less than a half mile east, in the Adams Morgan neighborhood. “Adams Morgan is a well-known bar and restaurant district, so people walk over there pretty frequently during the weekend.” Tail Up Goat is a Michelin-starred Mediterranean spot, while Madam’s Organ is a live blues music bar that’s been around since 1997. Two miles away, the Georgetown neighborhood has plentiful shopping, including stores such as T.J. Maxx and Sephora.

Buses and nearby Metro stops offer direct routes to downtown D.C.
Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority bus stops along Columbia Avenue NW follow the Mount Pleasant Line, offering a direct route to downtown D.C. “Taking the bus is the most common way to commute, even though the drive can take a bit,” Foster-Bankey says. Depending on traffic, the mile-and-a-half drive can take 20 to 30 minutes. “It also feels like less work than walking to a Metro station, but people still do that,” she adds. The Woodley Park-Zoo/Adams Morgan Metro station is about a half-mile north of the neighborhood. It’s on the Red Line, reaching downtown D.C. in about 10 minutes. The Dupont Circle Metro station, less than a mile south, also follows the Red Line. Interstate 495, locally called the Capital Beltway, is about 15 miles west.
Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport is 7 miles south, while Dulles International Airport is about 25 miles west. George Washington University Hospital is less than 2 miles south.
Nearby Rock Creek Trail is a pedestrian commuter route
Pedestrians can walk less than half a mile west on the Classical Revival-style Taft Bridge to link up with the 18-mile-long Rock Creek Trail. Following the asphalt path less than a mile north leads to the Smithsonian’s National Zoo, home to over 2,200 animals. Dumbarton Oaks Park, a wooded green space with landscaped gardens, is less than a mile southwest on the trail. Foster Bankey says locals also use the path to commute. “It’s like a 15-minute bike ride to get downtown, and that’s a pretty consistent time because bike riders deal with a lot less traffic than drivers.”
