Discover Cathedral Heights

Anchored by the soaring Gothic spires of the Washington National Cathedral, Cathedral Heights offers serene streets, classic apartments, and prestigious living.

Cathedral Heights is one of Washington DC's most serene and architecturally distinctive neighborhoods — defined by its dramatic centerpiece, the Washington National Cathedral, whose soaring Gothic spires and stone towers rise above the surrounding tree canopy. This upper Northwest neighborhood offers a unique blend of stately brick rowhouses, classic mid-century cooperative apartment buildings, and modern condominiums, all set on quiet, hilly streets. Residents enjoy proximity to the Cathedral grounds, Bishop's Garden, and the wooded trails of Glover-Archbold Park, as well as easy access to Wisconsin Avenue's shops, restaurants, and the Tenleytown-AU Metro. The neighborhood is especially popular with professionals, diplomats, and families drawn to its peaceful character, established schools, and prestige. Cathedral Heights provides a refined, residential lifestyle within minutes of Georgetown, downtown DC, and Embassy Row. With limited inventory and a strong sense of community, the neighborhood maintains consistent property values and enduring appeal. BW Metro Properties can help you discover the right home in Cathedral Heights.
