Capitol Hill
The Hill is home. In all of the years I’ve lived in DC, I have lived on the Hill for all but 2 years of them. Over time, my community has strengthened on this side of town, and moving to another corner would feel a lot like starting over. I love that the Hill shares some of the similar architectural polish of Georgetown, but with an unfussy, more casual attitude. The neighborhood boasts a buzzing market over the weekends, stately buildings clad in marble, and a generous smattering of restaurants and coffeeshops that hit the spot. Plus, there are 3 metros (4 if you count Union Station), easy parking, and seamless connections to both Amtrak and DCA. The Hill is a corner of town that many of my out of town clients don’t initially prioritize, but somehow they find themselves moving here.
If you’d like to learn more about buying or selling in Capitol Hill, send me an email.
