In a small section of Northwest Washington DC, hopeful DC condo owners can enjoy all of the comforts of high-end suburban life while still being connected to the big city existence. This section, of course, is Tenleytown. In this quaint segment of DC, condo owners can expect abundant greenery and will feel less-trapped by the concrete fortresses closer to downtown. Still, Tenleytown certainly maintains its city feel with numerous shopping centers, some of the city’s best restaurants, and Red Line Metro access.
The center of Tenleytown is at Wisconsin Avenue, where the Tenleytown/ AU metro station and a great shopping complex including a Best Buy, ACE Hardware, and Crate and Barrell are located. Additionally, a Whole Foods and a host of fine eat-in and take-out restaurants and hip cafes line the strip of Wisconsin Avenue. These shops all cater to the community’s two main constituencies: upscale city residents and American University (AU) Students. The campus of AU is located on the western edge of Tenley Circle and truly brings a young and vibrant flavor to the area.
Pared with the vivacious atmosphere of AU campus life is the refined subsistence of Tenleytown’s permanent residents, who enjoy some of the best public and private schools in the district along with lovely residential neighborhoods and playgrounds that border the community’s hub. Rows of beautiful homes comprise the neighborhoods of Tenleytown, accented by other living options at the area’s center, which contains magnificent condominiums. Another main draw in the Tenleytown community is the historic civil war base Fort Reno. The fort, which was built at the highest point in Washington DC, has developed into a place for socializing for Tenleytown residents, with an abundance of dog walking, summer concerts and great sledding in the winter. Fantastic parks; a warm neighborhood feel; a great town center: Tenleytown certainly prompts a cozy yet firmly city experience that’s great for low key and busy DC condo residents alike.
