Brightwood
Brightwood places you along Washington’s northern spine, where leafy blocks of sturdy colonials, bungalows, and brick rowhomes meet everyday conveniences on Georgia Avenue. Weekends might start with a stroll to the evolving campus at The Parks at Walter Reed, where community events and new amenities keep the neighborhood buzzing with possibility, anchored by the master plan at The Parks at Walter Reed. Outdoor lovers enjoy instant access to Rock Creek Park’s miles of trails via the official Rock Creek Park gateway, while history buffs can wander the earthworks at Fort Stevens Park, one of the city’s most storied Civil War sites.
Families value neighborhood anchors like Whittier Elementary School and Calvin Coolidge High School, both part of DC Public Schools. Playfields and programming at Fort Stevens Recreation Center keep afternoons active, and quiet study time is close by at the Juanita E. Thornton/Shepherd Park Library. Commuting is straightforward: the Red Line at WMATA’s Takoma Station connects you to downtown, with additional options a short hop toward Fort Totten. Nearby destinations such as Takoma, Petworth, Shepherd Park, and Silver Spring expand your dining, arts, and shopping choices without straying far from home.
