Neighborhoods
Columbia Heights is technically our neighborhood, though many days we are more in Petworth... either way - it is a good hub for general shopping and a jumping off point for public transportation! From our place you can take the 52, 54 and 59 buses straight down 14th street to get here. This neighborhood has a great farmers market over the summer and the Gala Theater is pretty great! Not to mention that if you are taking the metro towards our listing, this is a good stopping point to go te the supermarket, target, etc for any of tour long-term needs and jump on the bus!
