The Neighborhood:
The Petworth neighborhood is trendy and popular with families and the younger DC crowd as it’s residential, but has great access to downtown. There is a true sense of community, and everyone looks out for each other; porch culture reigns supreme, families pushing strollers, and neighbors greeting each other with smiles are common sightings! Sherman Circle directly out the front door is where the neighborhood gathers for picnics, shaded walks/jogs, grassy playdates, and socializing. Traveling in town to visit your grandkids? Heading in for a family trip to DC? Solo traveler looking for a safe neighborhood stay? This is the ideal spot for you!
