Wesley Heights Real Estate, Washington DC
For those who like their master-planned communities mixed with a little history, there’s Wesley Heights—now closing in on its centennial. This uber-wealthy enclave can be found in Washington, DC’s Northwest quadrant, just east of the Palisades. With parkland wrapping around the east, south and west, the neighborhood has a very secluded feel and features attractive luxury homes and condos for sale.
This area was all rural farmland, until W.C. and A.N. Miller developed it in the 1920s. It was one of the nation’s very first planned communities and remains as one of the most successful. It is listed in the Higley 1000 as being the second-richest neighborhood in the District (behind Spring Valley) and one of the richest in the nation. It’s worth noting that the Millers also developed American University Park and Spring Valley, both of which lie just to the north.
