Additional Location Information
While the area’s main drag is home to Target, Best Buy, IHOP, Starbucks, and Chipotle, the neighborhood streets are dotted with smaller, independently-owned shops, like the Vietnamese restaurant Pho 14, Sticky Fingers vegan bakery, and Taqueria Distrito Federal.
Also, 11th Street, a quiet cousin to 14th Street that was recently introduced to readers of The New York Times as “Washington’s hippest new strip” is home to a number of businesses that are distinctly more local and quirky than those on the area’s main drag. There is the massively popular Wonderland bar, Red Rocks Pizzeria, Meridian Pint, Columbia Heights Coffee, and Bloombars, a free and funky performance space. The owner of Tryst, an ever-crowded coffee shop in Adams Morgan, is also planning on opening a dinwer.bar/coffee shop on the ground floor of 1020 Monroe.
Columbia Heights is a public transportation mecca. The Metro station is on the Green Line, with the major transfer stop Gallery Place only eight minutes away....

Columbia Heights is a public transportation mecca. The Metro station is on the Green Line, with the major transfer stop Gallery Place only eight minutes away. Buses running north and south along 14th Street and 16th Street are some of the city’s busiest, and a Circluator bus runs east and west.
The neighborhood is close to major city arteries like 16th Street, Rock Creek Parkway, Rhode Island Avenue (Route 1), and New York Avenue (Route 50). Major Virginia highways like I-66 and the George Washington Parkway are a little farther.
Secure, garage parking is available at the Target within one block of the apartment.
The adjacent 14th street corridor - U Street & Logan Circle - has recently become the "hottest area in town" for restaurants, live theater & nightlife. The housing stock in this part of the city is primarily turn of the century Victorians. Beautiful.
Columbia Heights is a vibrant, diverse neighborhood that has an eclectic mix of many ages, ethnicities, cultures, and income levels. It boasts a beautiful mix of turn of the century & 1920’s architecture as well as a mix of big box shopping & national restaurant chains, as well as independent, small restaurants and a very close proximity to DC’s other well-known, popular neighborhoods via the Metro, located (1) block from the property.
At this point, the mixture of residents is one of the most diverse anywhere in the city.
