Upscale living in a walkable, commercial neighborhood
Tucked between Foggy Bottom and Georgetown, with easy access to downtown Washington D.C., the West End gives residents luxury residential living in a bustling commercial area. Many people move here to enjoy upscale living in a vibrant area filled with award-winning shops, and with easy access to the D.C. area's stellar public transportation, nearby destinations and major employers are just a short ride away. Home to green spaces and award-winning eateries that sit on the ground floor of some condo buildings, this neighborhood offers locals plenty of opportunities for days and nights out. "It's urban living at its finest. Unlike other nearby downtown areas that tend to get sleepy after the commuters depart for the day, the West End continues to remain vibrant due to all of the attractions," says Thomas Miller, a Realtor with Keller Williams Capital Properties who lives in the D.C. area and has sold properties in the West End. "It almost feels like New York," he adds, referencing the many hotels, award-winning restaurants, proximity to green spaces and the pedestrian-oriented community.

Open green spaces and the nearby Rock Creek Park
Compared to many of the smaller triangular parks in the district, a wide, open green space sits alongside Rock Creek on the western edge of the West End. Locals with furry friends head to Francis Dog Park to play fetch with their pets, and many play sports on Francis Field and the area’s tennis and basketball courts. In the summer months, locals head to the Francis Pool to cool off, and many enjoy P Street Beach's open space. Locals spread blankets on the ground to enjoy a picnic-lunch or bring a book and a towel to sunbathe. Joggers and hikers head on the nearby shaded Rock Creek Trailhead, and just around 5.5 miles from the neighborhood, Rock Creek Park offers visitors many activities. Golfers practice their aim, horse enthusiasts enjoy guided horseback trails and hikers explore over 30 miles of trails.
