Geographic Location
Located on the Eastern side of Rock Creek, an offshoot of the Potomac River. Adams Morgan is nestled inside the beltway in the Northwest quarter of DC.
Defining Characteristics
This is the part of town you come to when you want to see the city at its most dynamic. Everyone is here Friday through Sunday shopping, eating, touring the National Zoo and enjoying the mix of independent and big businesses available on 18th Street.
Noteworthy Attractions
Pasta Mia is THE place for down home Italian cooking. Before it even opens, a line is forming down the sidewalk to try their amazing pasta dishes. I love that you can run into your neighbor after last call at Jumbo Slice, where everyone visits with each other while waiting for their New York style pizza before heading home.
For nature lovers, Rock Creek Park borders the North West side of AdMo. It features extensive trails and the Smithsonian National Zoological Park. If you ask me, this is the best the capitol has to offer when it comes to the outdoors.
Types of Homes in the Area
Much of the neighborhood is composed of updated and colorful 19th and 20th century row homes and apartments. Washington DC’s real estate market continues to boom. If you’re looking to buy and investment property- Adams Morgan is the place to do it!
