Adams Morgan
Moving to Adams Morgan in Washington, DC? The neighborhood is loosely defined by the area between 18th Street NW between Florida Ave and Columbia Road; and Columbia Road between 16th Street and Wyoming Avenue, NW.
Long home to immigrant communities from Africa, Asia, South and Central America, Adams Morgan is a global village in the heart of the city were restaurants serve cuisine from all around the world and where DC residents go to let their hair down. You can catch live music most nights of the week throughout the neighborhood and find cheap eats and white tablecloth restaurants for all palates and pocketbooks. There are also many locally owned shopping gems with unique clothing, jewelry, art, furniture and household goods.
The area is a cultural smorgasboard. You can enjoy cuisine from all over the world, visit art galleries featuring local artist as well as work created across the globe. Catch live bluegrass on Wednesday nights at Madam’s Organ or swing by Habana Village to show off your salsa moves (or take a free lesson). Join in the neighborhood’s signature events, including Adams Morgan Day (Sept.), Crafty Bastards (fall) and Festivus (winter).
I love Adams Morgan. It was my childhood home. Visiting there today, I find the same wonderful melting pot that existed when I was a boy. It is a walk-able neighborhood. Â Sidewalks carry you beneath old oaks as you pass by some of the finest old architecture found anywhere in the area.
Housing in the neighborhood includes spacious condo’s, wonderful row homes and large single family homes. John MacArthur and Lourdes Tudela have both lived and worked in Adams Morgan. If you would like to see homes for sale in Adams Morgan, click this LINK
