Cleveland Park

A strong sense of community and civic pride.

Welcome to Cleveland Park

A strong sense of community and civic pride.
 
Cleveland Park draws its name from President Grover Cleveland, who built a summer home here and started a long tradition of Washingtonians moving up Connecticut Avenue for the cool summer breezes. When the streetcar arrived and connected the area to downtown, the neighborhood grew quickly and filled with stately early-20th-century houses.
 
With its charming Queen Anne homes, tree-lined streets, and quaint commercial center, Cleveland Park has the trappings of a small town with easy access to the big city. Its residents prize its quiet charm and close proximity to parks, shops, and eateries.

The Lifestyle:

A slow but stimulating pace in a bucolic setting.

Cleveland Park is perfect for nature lovers who come to experience its tree-sheltered streets and proximity to Rock Creek Park. There is little congestion in the neighborhood beyond the main retail strip, which was developed as one of the nation’s first park-and-shop strip malls.
 

Unexpected Appeal:

An abundance of nightlife options.

Locals are fiercely loyal to their neighborhood retail along the strip, where you can do everything from buying the makings of a dinner party to dining out to catching a movie.

The Market:

Spacious Queen Anne houses and Tudor Revival apartment buildings, among other iconic styles.
