Sounds like you had a great time visiting our fair city! Georgetown is a beautiful neighborhood. If you come back, but sure to venture out into Penn Quarter, the U Street Corridor, 16th Street (particularly around Meridian Hill), and Logan Circle. All of these neighborhoods have some great historic homes that have been lovingly restored. Oh, and of course, Capitol Hill is great for famous dwellings, people watching, and celeb sightings.

Just a couple more recommendations for your next trip and then I’ll scoot: The Frederick Douglass House in Anacostia; the National Basilica of the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception near the campus of Catholic University, (which has the largest collection of religious mosaics in the world); the Library of Congress; President Lincoln’s Cottage at the Old Soldiers’ Home (now the Armed Forces Retirement Home); and Rock Creek Cemetery.

What a fun tour! Thanks Julia! I think I’m partial to the brick houses best. Especially the one with the pretty wrought iron railings over the bay window. The French mansard ones are very pretty too. As beautiful as they are, I guess I’m a true westerner- give me wide open spaces, please!

Love the wonderful pictures! Although I’m not crazy about how they’ve built big ugly buildings behind the older homes facade.

But you forgot probably the biggest movie to be filmed in Georgetown – the Exorcist! Most of it was filmed in the neighborhood and at Georgetown University.

Thanks for the photos! I’ve never been to Georgetown, but it reminds me of Alexandria, VA which i’ve visited a few times. It’s fun to walk streets like that, but I wouldn’t want to live there. I like my space, grass, driveway, ect…

I took some similar photos when we were in D.C. I love the townhouses, but I can’t believe that little skinny one is $600,000!

Thank you for all the pictures, Julia! I’ve been to DC a few times, but have never made it to Georgetown. I will definitely have to do that next time.

I think I remember taking a field trip to Georgetown, so thanks for taking me back…I love these houses. Next time I make a trip out there, G-town is where I’ll be dragging my husband.

I loved so many, it’s hard to pick a favorite–but I have to give the turquoise one’s owners some credit for daring to be contemporary in a traditional house–at least it stands out and I think it’s a little refreshing.

I’m glad you had a great time here in our fair city! I work in Georgetown and walk to work past these houses everyday – I’m glad you love them as much as me. I feel so lucky to be here!
