Nestled in upper Northwest DC, Tenleytown is the District's second oldest community and sits atop its highest point. A blend of quiet neighborhood and urban center, Tenleytown is a wonderful area to live, work and explore. Visit tenleytowndc.wordpress.com for more on this fantastic neighborhood. From Cultural Tourism DC:
"From rural beginnings to the bustling neighborhood it has become, Tenleytow
n has combined the transience of Washington’s workforce with a surprising number of multi-generational native Washingtonians. The quiet, tree-lined streets just off the major thoroughfares are reminiscent of the area's "suburban" past and show few signs of the urban bustle only a few blocks away. But don't be fooled by the sleepy pulse of its residential areas; Tenleytown is also a major player in local and national events. Home to American University, numerous schools and churches, two television stations, and one radio studio, Tenleytown plays host to the nation without ever losing its small-town charm."
