Washington, DC and its surrounding metro area support a patchwork of rich, diverse, and history-laden neighborhoods.  There is something here for everyone:  urban hot-spots packed with restaurants, shops and theater; quiet residential blocks just minutes from the Metro; convenient full-service condominiums and co-ops; leafy neighborhoods near bike trails; and homes perfectly located between downtown and the beltway for easy escape to weekend retreats.
