MtPleasant is just such a unique place in DC! It combines classic, refined and mind-soothing looks near Rock Creek park, with the energy and richness of a diverse population, with lively South American vibes. The weekend’s farmers market is among the most popular in DC, and the stores and restaurants/cafes/ice cream and pastry shops/bookstores -even the barbers- have maintained a strong identity and are beautifully unique. All this is just literally steps away from/to the “core” of DC: Dupont Circle, 14th St NW, and the downtown area. MtPleasant has also become a very safe place, up from a mixed track record in the past. I love walking through the neighborhood, especially in spring when all the front yards are blooming.
The most lovely place in DC, in my view. Safe and family friendly, full of flowers and trees. Great public schools, and I love the restaurants and bar scene. I also appreciate that there are local groceries and that it’s super close to everything in NW. Its beautiful Latino community, the proximity to DC’s largest park, and a diverse and mostly highly educated population, give the neighborhood such a distinct imprinting. I find it elegant and charming, without being stiff or “wannabe-upscale” like other safe areas in DC. I’m house hunting and hope that my family and I find our home there soon.
I love MtPleasant. It is quiet and safe, but it has so much charm, character, and is full of life. Rock Creek park is only steps away, which I totally love, and I can walk to shops, grocery stores and transportation all around. I can hardly think of a better place! Plus, there’s always such a beautiful light and energy on those streets!
