Discover Palisades

A scenic, river-adjacent neighborhood with small-town charm, classic bungalows and Colonials, and unmatched access to the Potomac and Capital Crescent Trail.

The Palisades is one of Washington DC's most beloved and uniquely scenic neighborhoods — a charming, river-adjacent community in upper Northwest defined by its small-town character, Independence Day parade, and breathtaking views of the Potomac River and Virginia Palisades cliffs. The neighborhood features a delightful mix of Craftsman bungalows, Cape Cods, brick Colonials, and modern custom homes set on gently sloping streets with mature trees and deep front lawns. Residents enjoy unmatched access to the C&O Canal towpath, the Capital Crescent Trail, Battery Kemble Park, and the Potomac River, making it one of the most active and outdoorsy neighborhoods in the District. MacArthur Boulevard's local shops, restaurants, and the historic Palisades Community Park anchor the neighborhood's identity. The Palisades attracts buyers seeking a tight-knit community, natural beauty, and a true neighborhood feel within DC. With limited inventory and steadily rising values, homes in the Palisades represent both a lifestyle and a sound investment. BW Metro Properties can help you find your Palisades dream home.
