Cathedral Heights, NW Washington

Cathedral Avenue at the Heart of Upper NW

3900 Cathedral Avenue NW occupies one of Upper NW Washington’s most recognized residential addresses. Cathedral Heights is defined by its canopy of mature trees, its proximity to Rock Creek Park, and a built environment that reflects decades of architectural continuity. The corridor attracts buyers who prioritize established neighborhood character alongside urban convenience.

The location places residents within reach of the Red Line Metro, connecting directly to downtown DC and beyond. Wisconsin Avenue’s retail, dining, and service corridor is nearby, as are the green spaces and trails of Rock Creek Park. The neighborhood’s position between Embassy Row and the Maryland border gives it a distinct sense of place within the broader NW quadrant.

At $640,000, this property enters the market at a price point that reflects both the neighborhood’s sustained desirability and the current dynamics of Upper NW real estate. Wardman Residential has worked extensively in this submarket and can provide detailed context on recent comparable sales and current inventory conditions.

The Address
Cathedral Heights is among Upper NW’s most architecturally coherent neighborhoods. The streetscape along Cathedral Avenue is defined by mature landscaping, mid-century residential buildings, and a scale that distinguishes it from denser parts of the city. The address carries genuine weight in the NW market.
Park and Transit
Rock Creek Park borders the neighborhood, offering trail access, green space, and a natural buffer that shapes the character of the immediate area. The Red Line Metro is accessible via a short ride or walk, connecting Cathedral Heights to the broader Washington transit network.
Wisconsin Avenue Access
Wisconsin Avenue provides the primary commercial spine for daily needs. Local cafes, grocery options, and neighborhood restaurants are within easy reach. The corridor also connects to Friendship Heights and Tenleytown, expanding the range of retail and dining available to residents.
Market Context
Priced at $640,000, this property enters a segment of the Upper NW market where well-located inventory is absorbed steadily. Cathedral Heights has maintained consistent buyer interest across market cycles, supported by its location, park access, and neighborhood character. Wardman Residential can provide current comparable data on request.
