Elegant mansions once belonging to history’s notables; a well-kept, flourishing park featuring a marble fountain; and political institutions galore outline Dupont Circle, one of D.C.’s oldest and most affluent neighborhoods. See why Dupont Circle consistently ranks as one of the best neighborhoods in D.C.
Situated at the crossroads of Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New Hampshire Avenues in Northwest Washington, D.C., Dupont Circle is where diplomats, government officials, the LGBTQ+ community, and students alike live, work, and play.
At just 15 minutes from the White House and half an hour from the United States Capitol building, it should come as no surprise that Dupont Circle is brimming with historic mansions and rowhouses fit for the elite. Sites like the Heurich House Museum, a Gilded Age mansion, and the homes of several US presidents, including Coolidge, Taft, and Woodrow Wilson, showcase the grandeur of the past. The renowned museum the Phillips Collection offers an intimate look at unforgettable works of contemporary art.
Despite being one of the oldest neighborhoods in the historic city of Washington, D.C., you’ll find that Dupont Circle is a center for progress and activism. Take a stroll down the aptly named Think Tank Row, and you’ll see dozens of think tanks that also interact with neighboring universities, such as the Carey Business School of Johns Hopkins University. Embassy Row, a section with over 80 foreign embassies and ambassador residences, cuts through Dupont Circle.
Dupont Circle is also known for being a welcoming hub for the LGBTQ+ community and is the home to many gay-friendly and gay-owned businesses, like the classic bar The Fireplace, located just a few doors down from the Parkway House. This lively neighborhood plays host to events like the 17th St High Heel Race and the Capital Pride Parade, which celebrate the LGBTQ+ community.
Dupont Circle’s active nightlife scene is a testament to its buzzing food scene, such as Sushi Taro, which boasts a Michelin star, and the more casual but (no less popular) Hank’s Oyster Bar. Or, if you’re feeling inspired, try making your own delicious dinner with fresh ingredients from the Dupont Circle farmer’s market, which takes place year-round in front of the Metro station entrance, located at the intersection of Q Street and 20th Street.
