In the heart of Logan Circle, this penthouse condo has fabulous views above the neighboring rowhouses. While some top-floor units in the highly sought-after area bordered by 14th and 15th and P and Q sell for well over a million, this one won't break the bank, and will still impress your guests every time you entertain.
Logan Circle is one of the most sought after areas in NW Washington DC. Along with neighboring areas such as Dupont and the U Street Corridor, this area offers a plethora of restaurants, shops and nightlife! Take a peek at our video, or scroll down the page for some photo highlights.
Built in 2006 above the retail shops along 14th Street, the building has all the benefits that you're looking for in an urban residence - only one block to Whole Foods, Vida Fitness, and great restaurants such as Posto, Estadio, Pearl Dive and more. It's no wonder it has a 99 walk score. And it gets even better, as two new restaurants are scheduled to come to the corner of 14th and Q.

Situated just outside the beltway on the northwest end of the D.C. metro area, the Kensington, Maryland is a good choice for those who are interested in "close in" suburban lifestyle, conveniently close to D.C. amenities. Founded in the 1890s by developer Brainard Warner, the Victorian styles and attractive layout (predominently in the "Town of Knesington) was inspired after Warner took a trip to London. Thanks to the wide selection of homes available in Kensington coupled with the beautiful park-like setting, the neighborhood quickly became a popular summer home destination for D.C. residents. Today, the community stands on its own as a beautiful upscale community that is perfect for year-round living.
Bordered by forested parks and greenbelts, residents of Kensington enjoy plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors while still maintaining easy access to the Metro centers at Bethesda Medical Center and Forest Glen as well as the MARC train station in the heart of Old Town Kensington. The neighborhood itself is also known for its commercial district, which includes a variety of antique stores in the area near Howard Avenue East. As such, Kensington has become a favorite stop for collectors from around the world.
Kensington is an incorporated town with a Mayor and has kept a true sense of identity. The annual events, like the Labor Day Parade, help to create a community feel that is appreciated by those fortunate enough to live in this town.

Downtown Bethesda Video Update - those of you who have seen our "teaser/trailer" below (or thse who haven't), the main attraction is live on our Downtown Bethesda Page (makes sense!). Again, special thank to Michelle Cassel, the Visual Artist who took the concept and ran with it. For those of you yet to see either, gere's the background per earlier this afternoon:
In an effort to keep local and the less familiar visitors engaged and/or educated, we've created a series of neighborhood videos. Actually, that's not true :-) We found tremendously talented film makers and gently pointed them to special/iconic locations. Many thanks to Michelle Cassel on her stunning finished product). Where to begin? Downtown Bethesda seemed like a fun fit because of its vibrant urban village vibe. Watch the trailer below and stay visit Downtown Bethesda page or our Youtube Channel to view our mini "full length feature." Enjoy!
