The nation’s capital offers many unique experiences, from famous monuments and museums in the city to equestrian events in Virginia and world-class sailing on the Chesapeake Bay.
Neighborhoods range from historic to hip, scenic to urban. The District of Columbia is renowned for its classical city plan, which was designed by Pierre L’Enfant in the late 1700s. It's a green city, with many parks, open spaces, nature/bike trails and year-round activities along the Potomac River.
The area boasts a rich array of arts and culture: Numerous free Smithsonian museums, a wide variety of art galleries, plus performances at theaters, jazz clubs, Wolf Trap, the 930 Club, and the Kennedy Center, home to the National Symphony Orchestra.
The food scene is highly varied, ranging from traditional American fare to cuisine appealing to the home palettes of the city’s many foreign diplomats. Residents enjoy everything from 5-star restaurants tucked away in Virginia’s wine country to the bustling crab shacks and oyster bars on Maryland’s Eastern Shore.
“The DMV” — as some refer to the region — offers a highly respected range of transportation options, including expressway “hot lanes,” the Metro train-subway system, Amtak, three nearby airports, a free Circulator bus line and an extensive network of bike lanes through the city.
Educational programs are highly varied at all levels of study, with many options for public and private schools, including several prestigious colleges and universities.
The Washington Metro area is an excellent option for anyone looking for a new place to call home. Contact Lenore to learn more about what the area has to offer.
