Overviewa grid older than the city
Life in Georgetown, DC
Federal and Georgian rowhouses step down toward the canal and the river, block after block, in a grid older than the city around it. The retail spine on M Street and Wisconsin Avenue keeps the daytime busy and the university keeps it young, but a block above either street the noise falls away into gardens and quiet residential blocks that have been lived in for more than two centuries.
It is the oldest neighborhood in Washington and one of its most sought-after, a market of historic rowhouses and larger homes where demand is steady and inventory tends to stay limited.
