• American University Park covers a wide swath of land and is bordered by Mass Ave, Wisconsin, Nebraska and Western (roughly). One bedroom condos start in the high $300's and single family homes stretch up to $1,750,000. Typical to the area, you'll find a lot of brick colonials interspersed with some ramblers, the occasional split, and capes. Walk time to metro varies widely, and can range from 5 to 35 minutes. Some bus options exist, particularly along Massachusetts Avenue.
• Chevy Chase/Tenleytown is made up primarily of townhouses, condos and single family homes. Back when I lived there, it was known primarily as Tenleytown... not sure when the CC snuck in? At any rate, 1-bedroom condos start in the low $300's and single family home sales have approached $1,400,000 in the last year. Walk to metro can be 5-25 minutes.
• The Wakefield/Chevy Chase triangle is bordered by Nebraska, Connecticut and Albemarle. High $300's for condos. $600+ buys you an entry-level single family home, and the high end has run $1,300,000 in the past year or so. Walk time to metro: 5-20 minutes.
• North Cleveland Park is a lovely part of town developed in the late 1800s through the 1940s. Prices in this part of Cleveland Park range from $450 to the high $1,300's. You'll find a lot of semi-detached homes here along with a fair amount of single family brick homes. It's close to Z-Burger, which is a recent favorite family find. Perhaps the best burger in NW DC? Certainly a front runner! Walk to metro in 5-15 minutes.
