Overviewgrand, quiet and set apart
Life in Kalorama, DC
Curving, tree-lined streets climb away from Connecticut Avenue into a tier of Beaux-Arts and revival mansions, set well back behind walls and gardens. Embassies and private homes share the same quiet blocks. Flags, gatehouses, and the occasional security detail are much of the street life, and the bustle of Dupont Circle and Adams Morgan falls away within a block.
It is an established Washington neighborhood where homes do not come up for sale often, a market of grand detached houses where demand is steady, inventory is limited, and some homes sell off-market rather than through a public listing.
