Georgetown East Village Real Estate, Washington DC
Although there is only one actual Georgetown in Washington DC, there has long been a friendly rivalry between two geographical distinctions—the East Village which lies east of Wisconsin Avenue and north of M Street, and its counterpart, the West Village. It probably goes without saying that the western half lies west of Wisconsin.
Longstanding stories have often pointed to the East Village as the ritziest sector—this having to do with a number of lavish mansions and a history of well-heeled members of the DC social set. And indeed, some grand estates still typify this part of Georgetown, including the Evermay which dates back to 1802, the Dumbarton Oaks which was built in the same year, and Tudor Place, a Federal manor on six acres that was designed by the same architect responsible for the United States Capitol.

The East Village also offers a quick and convenient walk to other notable neighborhoods such as Dupont Circle and Foggy Bottom, as well as the accompanying Metro Stations for those enclaves.
More about Georgetown DC East Village
Georgetown as a whole has a lengthy history that predates even the Capitol itself. Originally known as a busy port for early colonists and the tobacco trade, the city retained its independence until ultimately being incorporated into the forming of the District. East Village doesn’t include the immediate waterfront area at the Potomac River. It starts at M Street, a few blocks away and progresses north all the way through the Dumbarton Oaks Gardens and Park.
But regardless of history, boundaries and old class distinctions, East Village like all of Georgetown is one of the most sought-after real estate territories in the entire Washington Metropolitan region. From studio condo units to single-family homes for sale along quiet tree-lined streets, East Village is a neighborhood worth exploring.
