Lasting history and lively culture
Just west of the Maryland border in Washington, DC, Takoma takes pride in its distinct character and multicultural identity. “It looks like a small town, but it’s right here in the nation’s capital,” says Loretta Neumann, past president of the community organization Neighbors, Inc. and a resident of 50 years. “Everyone feels comfortable in an integrated community around here.” Neighbors, Inc was originally founded as a resident organization with the goal of fostering integration in their neighborhoods, and that history of advocacy for cultural diversity still remains.
Takoma is known for its many historic homes.
Donut Run on 4th St NW in Takoma, DC is a bustling place.

Historic Victorian architecture
Takoma’s vintage homes range from bungalows, to Victorians and American Foursquares. Porches and sidewalks throughout the neighborhood welcome residents to walk around and greet their neighbors. Historic architecture abounds, including one of the original development’s earliest homes on Eastern Avenue. The longevity of the architecture is thanks, in part, to the Historic District designation that Neumann fought for in the 1980s. “That (designation) has helped protect us in many ways. You can’t just tear down these houses and put up apartments.” Multifamily buildings have sprung up adjacent to the neighborhood, with sleek interiors and updated décor attracting young professionals. A one-bedroom condo may sell for around $400,000, while a 1920s four-bedroom American Foursquare may run for $1 million to $1.5 million.

Neighbors gather at Busboys and Poets
The neighborhood culture is evident through events and gatherings held for residents. The organization East Rock Creek Village, which is led by volunteers who help provide services to elderly residents so that they can stay in their homes, hosts get-togethers that attract a diverse array of locals. “The holiday party last year was packed,” Neumann says. Meanwhile, the nearby Takoma Park council puts on a Folk Festival that was originally held as a fundraiser for the historic Takoma Theater. The festival, held in the fall, includes multiple music stages as well as craft vendors. The popular venue Takoma Station Tavern has regular live music performances for residents to enjoy. Busboys and Poets, the combo bookstore and coffee shop that is a DC staple, provides a gathering space for modern-day Beatniks and book clubs alike.
Busboys and Poets is a popular brunch spot in Takoma with other locations throughout DC.
