Welcome to a very happy place to live. "The Colonnade" is quiet, beautiful, well-located, and as one resident said before he saw and purchased his apartment in 2012, "It sounds quite ideal. " After our marvelous 2025 renovations, "The Colonnade" officially became ideal. It's filled with light and brighter than ever. The staff are fabulous, helpful, and kind. We have a good range of ages here, and everyone enjoys our gorgeous Colonnade pool. Thanks to our resourceful director, our lobby events are very enjoyable and educational. This apartment's den/office also functions as a bedroom for family and friends. Each lovely room has been carefully maintained. The daughter of the building's architect chose this beautiful #1220 for her home when "The Colonnade" was first constructed in 1966. When you see the sun rise and set, the view of our trees, cityscape, fireworks, pool, and, at special times of the year, the Potomac River, you will know why.

Cathedral Heights, located between Wisconsin Avenue NW and Rock Creek Park, is a residential and institutional Washington neighborhood with leafy slopes and mid-century apartment rows. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Wisconsin Ave NW & Newark St NW crossroads, where corner markets, cafes, and low-key storefronts meet steady commuter traffic. Community pillars include the Washington National Cathedral’s grounds, the open-air stalls at the Cathedral Farmers Market, and the landmarked Avalon Theatre nearby. Brick Colonials and tidy garden apartments line quiet streets that rise toward the Cathedral close. Glover-Archbold Park’s wooded trails shape daily routines with a green buffer at the edge of the grid. The pace reads calm and practical, with a polished, lived-in feel.
