About this Neighborhood

Founded in 1890 and shaped by careful historic-preservation rules, Wesley Heights is one of Washington's quieter, tree-lined enclaves, bordered by parkland including Battery-Kemble and Glover Parkway. The food scene is small, 12 restaurants, but Yelp's crowd has logged nearly 10,000 reviews, with 2 Amys Neapolitan Pizzeria, Bistro Aracosia, and Barcelona Wine Bar drawing devoted followings. Foursquare's regulars capture the residential calm: parks, coffee shops, a swimming pool, cafes, and delis define the everyday. Six groceries and four fitness options keep daily life close. It's a settled, green neighborhood where a handful of standout kitchens do the heavy lifting.
