PETWORTH
Welcome to Petworth
One of Washington's most beloved neighborhoods, where front porch charm meets city convenience.
Petworth grew up around Grant and Sherman Circles, and its tree lined streets of rowhouses still carry that early character. Today the neighborhood pairs its historic bones with one of the city's liveliest food and retail corridors along Georgia Avenue and Upshur Street.
Few DC neighborhoods offer this balance: a true residential feel with a Metro station, full service grocery, coffee, and acclaimed restaurants all within a short walk of your front door.
From the seasonal farmers market to neighborhood staples like Timber Pizza Co. on Upshur Street, Petworth rewards people who like to live where they eat, shop, and gather.
