About this Neighborhood

Madison Valley tucks in east of Capitol Hill, west of Washington Park, and it leans hard into green space, eleven parks, more than almost any other block on this list. Twelve restaurants keep the table interesting, and the Yelp base of just over 7,000 reviews lands at a warm 4.6. The Foursquare picture is telling: grocery stores, a bakery, a bar and sushi, the ingredients of a comfortable, self-sufficient neighborhood. Six coffee shops keep the mornings easy, and the parks do the rest.
