5047 Glenbrook Terrace NW Washington, DC

Perched on the hilly, sloped streets of the Palisades area, residents of Kent are only about five blocks from the churning Potomac River. This residential community developed after the Civil War and up until the 1940s. There are no businesses within the neighborhood, but nearby MacArthur Boulevard has several dining options. The popular shopping district of Georgetown is a couple of miles east, accessible by car or bike. “It's kind of it's a step-up neighborhood for a lot of people where they begin more downtown, and then they end up moving farther out,” says Realtor Ben Roth of Washington Fine Properties. “People want more yard when they're trying to make that transition out here.”
