Mount Vernon Square

Mount Vernon Square

The Character:
Another relatively dull neighborhood that was long-time commercially flat-lined before being rushed into triage and brought back to life. Now a dynamic nexus in the city connecting downtown with mid-town, and simply exploding with entertainment, nightlife and dining to name a few. A renovated Washington Convention Center and upscale shopping center that hints of a min-Rodeo Drive. The new Blagden Alley however is an eclectic, artsy and nouveau mix of café and dining, enjoying a refreshing approach to afternoon & after-hours fun. Even more impressive is the caliber of commercial and residential condos and renovated townhomes that have been brought online, pushing the envelope in design, elegance and amenities.
