Discover Dupont Circle In Washington, DC

Where Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Connecticut avenues converge sits Dupont Circle — a traffic circle, a park, a historic district and a spectacular neighborhood that is one of DC’s most sought-after places to live. 

You’ll find homes located on the 2000 block of N Street, NW are considered some of the city's finest examples of Second Empire architecture. 

Rowhouses primarily built prior to 1900 feature variations on the Queen Anne and Richardsonian Romanesque revival styles. Other blocks feature more stately homes in the Colonial Revival and Beaux Art styles. Many of these properties have been converted into condominiums with truly unique penthouse offerings. 

Interspersed throughout Dupont Circle are gracious mid-sized buildings while the more recent additions sit south of the Circle closer to DC’s business district.

Today Dupont Circle is a hub for a colorful and lively mix of neighbors including young families, boomer couples whose children have gone off to college, and Washington’s international community.
