Welcome to the Suburbs — Almost

The Palisades is an established neighborhood nestled in the gently rolling hills of Northwest Washington, DC. Bounded by the Potomac River and MacArthur Boulevard, this neighborhood blends the convenience of DC living with the comforts of tree-filled suburbs.

Along MacArthur Boulevard is the neighborhood's "downtown," a small collection of colorful shopfronts, boutique restaurants like Et Voila! and Sweet Agave Bar & Grill, and an array of professional services. 

Closer to the Potomac River are the neighborhood's hidden gems, including two recreation centers, several parks with playgrounds, a boathouse with rentable kayaks, the Capital Crescent Trail, and the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal Towpath. The Glass Forest, an eclectic display of wooden sculptures and hanging mosaics in the middle of the woods, is also worth a visit.
