Kalorama, a Wonderful Place to Live

Kalorama is a residential community, not especially known for stores and businesses. Of course, there’s plenty of options to that regard right next-door in Adams Morgan and DuPont Circle. The neighborhood has a long and interesting history, dating all the way back to a land grand in the 1600s that was bequeathed by King Charles II to an indentured servant, who, after his service, traveled to Maryland and the new colonies.

The land that is now Kalorama remained undeveloped, however, until multiple ownerships later. In 1795, the Bel Air estate was built. That mansion was sold again in 1807 to Joseph Barlow, a diplomat who renamed it “Kalorama” which translates roughly in Greek to “beautiful view” or “fine view.” But save for a few posh homes in the early Washington era, the hilly community remained rural. It wasn’t until the end of the 19th century that things really changed—a wave of residential development that lasted into the early 1930s.

This turn-of-the-century period was what really shaped Kalorama into a residential neighborhood that remains now, much as it was then—a place with lavish single-family homes as well as apartment buildings and hotels that eventually converted into condos for sale, as well as a fair number of cooperatives. 2101 Connecticut belongs to this latter category, built toward the end of Kalorama’s busiest development period, and later turned into co-ops.

Kalorama is well-known for its foreign embassies and diplomatic missions. Among those very close to 2101 Connecticut are the Consulate of Poland, Consulate Generale of Bolivia, Embassy of the Republic of Malta, Consulate General of the Republic of Korea and the Embassy of India. It’s also a neighborhood known for wealthy and influential residents, both past and present. William Taft, Woodrow Wilson, Herbert Hoover and Franklin D. Roosevelt are some of the past presidents who lived here. Former president Barack Obama and family are current residents, as are Jeffrey Bezos (Amazon, Washington Post) and Jared and Ivanka Trump.

Among other notable condominium buildings in the community are The Carthage, 2029 Connecticut, The Dresden, St. Nicholas and The Wyoming House. While Kalorama does not have its own Metro Station, the Dupont Circle Metro is a half-mile south and the Woodley Park-Zoo/Adams Morgan Metro is just over a half-mile north along Connecticut Avenue. But residents at 2101 Connecticut have access to parking and the Connecticut Avenue location makes it a breeze to head north toward Maryland or south into Downtown DC and Capitol Hill.

This is also a pleasant neighborhood to stroll through, with all of the grand historic architecture and nice places to sit and relax, such as the Kalorama Park and Mitchell Park—the latter hosting outdoor movie nights during the summer. Small businesses like Glen’s Garden Market and the So’s Your Mom Deli also cater to locals.
