Tenleytown blends collegiate energy, easy transit, and quiet, leafy blocks in northwest Washington. Anchored by the Red Line’s Tenleytown–AU Metro station, the neighborhood makes commuting simple while Wisconsin Avenue supplies everyday conveniences, cafes, and quick bites. It sits alongside American University Park and within minutes of Friendship Heights and Chevy Chase, giving residents a wide radius of shopping and dining. Outdoor time often means picnics or sunset views at historic Fort Reno Park—the city’s highest point—or a stroll down to American University for lectures, performances, and campus green space.
Families prize the neighborhood’s schools and amenities. The award-winning Janney Elementary, Alice Deal Middle School, and Jackson-Reed High School form a highly regarded feeder pattern, and the light-filled Tenley-Friendship Library anchors community life with story times, study rooms, and neighborhood events. Fitness and fun are close at hand at the Wilson Aquatic Center, while Fort Reno’s beloved summer concerts add a dash of local tradition. Housing ranges from 1920s bungalows and sturdy brick colonials to newer condos, offering options for first-time buyers and long-time move-ups alike.
Whether you’re drawn by schools, green space, or a car-light lifestyle, Tenleytown rewards everyday living with convenience and character. If you’re considering a move, Agent Pronto can connect buyers and sellers with a top real estate agent who knows Tenleytown inside and out.
