Wakefield is a quiet D.C. neighborhood
In the heart of one of Washington, D.C.’s bustling exchanges, Wakefield is buffered from the busyness of nearby Connecticut Avenue by tree-lined streets and green spaces. “What they really love about Wakefield is parks, fields, walking distance – the walkability score is really high,” says Kevin Friend, a Realtor with Compass. “This day and age, people are really looking for homes with yards, separation, brick is really important and a little patch of grass,” Friend says.
A variety of single-family homes on tree-lined streets
Wakefield has a variety of Colonial Revivals, from Dutch to English, as well as a few new builds and Contemporary homes. “You might have a 1930s colonial right next to 2023 brand new construction,” Friend reports. “You could have a Shaker-style house with a yard next to a mid-century modern. On the right, you have a beautiful two-story brick home, and right across the street, someone has built a new home because they wanted the convenience.” In that way, Wakefield reflects Washington’s emerging aesthetic. “The whole real estate landscape in D.C. has changed. You’ll have a luxury condo building with a doorman on the corner of Connecticut and Davenport. And right behind there, you’ll have a block of homes that are single-family homes that have yards and bricks and garages and nice curb appeal; then right next door, see where a house has been torn down to make room for a new one,” Friend says. The median home selling price in Wakefield is around $650,000. However, for a detached single-family home, buyers should expect to spend quite a bit more. “We probably are around $1.3 million for a three-bedroom home. For a four-bedroom, $1.7 million,” Friend says.
Highly rated District of Columbia Public Schools
District of Columbia Public Schools, which gets a B-plus from Niche, serves Wakefield students. Controlled open enrollment is available. Students may attend A-minus-rated Ben Murch Elementary School, A-rated Alice Deal Middle School and A-rated Jackson-Reed High School. Private options in the area include A-plus-rated Georgetown Day School and A-rated Sheridan School.
Wakefield neighborhood parks
There are a wealth of parks throughout the community. Most of the parks, however, are typically associated with local schools and are available for public use during non-school hours. “There are people walking dogs or pushing strollers. My kids go to some of these parks to play flag football or play soccer. It’s a vibrant place for families on the weekend,” Friend says.
Tenleytown shopping and dining nearby
Adding to Wakefield’s organic vibrancy is its array of neighborhood bodegas, small shops and stores. For groceries, there’s also a Wegmans and a Whole Foods in the nearby Tenleytown neighborhood. Tenleytown has eating and entertainment spots, too, Comet Ping Pong, which offers pizza and games. “The food is okay, and the entertainment for kids is cool,” Friend says.
Walkable Wakefield is also close to Tenleytown, Van Ness Metro stops
Wakefield is walkable, and Tenleytown and Van Ness Metro stops are close by. Electric scooters are also a popular form of transportation.
