About the Dupont Circle neighborhood

Dupont Circle, often just called Dupont, is one of DC’s most eclectic neighborhoods. It is known for its grand Victorian rowhouses, condominium buildings, shops and restaurants, all within easy reach of the Dupont Circle Metro station.

Home values have climbed over the years, making Dupont one of the more expensive DC neighborhoods for rowhouses, while its condos offer a wider range of price points.

Dupont is known for more than its beautiful homes and architecture. It has a lively dining and nightlife scene, with neighborhood bars, a cluster of clubs just off the circle, diverse restaurants and one-of-a-kind shops.

The neighborhood also has plenty of green space and a strong artistic personality. Relax in the circle itself and watch a game of chess, explore the historic mansions and galleries, or take in the embassies that call Dupont home.
