Discover Tenleytown

A walkable upper Northwest hub with Metro access, top schools, charming shops, and a mix of detached homes and modern condos along Wisconsin Avenue.

Tenleytown is one of Washington DC's most established and convenient upper Northwest neighborhoods — a walkable urban village built around the Tenleytown-AU Metro station and the bustling Wisconsin Avenue commercial corridor. The neighborhood offers a rare combination of urban convenience and residential charm, with a mix of detached single-family homes on quiet side streets, classic brick Colonials, modern condominiums, and new-construction luxury townhomes. Residents enjoy easy access to American University, the Tenley-Friendship Library, Whole Foods, Target, and a growing collection of restaurants and cafes. Tenleytown sits within the catchment area for some of DC's top-rated public schools, including Janney Elementary and Wilson High School, making it especially popular with families. The neighborhood's strong civic identity, the Tenley Town Center revitalization, and its Red Line Metro access provide both lifestyle benefits and durable real estate value. BW Metro Properties specializes in helping buyers and sellers navigate Tenleytown's competitive market with confidence.
