Bloomingdale is a small residential community in the District of Columbia, located only minutes from downtown and the monuments. According to the Washington Post, "Bloomingdale could be the friendliest neighborhood you've never heard of." Considered the first suburb of Washington, Bloomingdale is a small residential community located only minutes from downtown and the monuments. With an active civic association, neighborhood green spaces like the Crispus Atticus Park and many new businesses, this is a growing area in the District.
Situated amongst the elm, maple, crape myrtle, and ginko trees lies this quaint community rich in history and architectural charm. The all brick Victorian rowhomes that line the streets were built at the turn of century utilizing exquisite craftmanship and a particular attention to detail.
Today the neighborhood has come back. Longtime residents live next to young professionals and their families. The streets are abuzz with the laughter of children. Passerby's are greeted warmly by residents sitting out enjoying what Bloomingdale has to offer - a sense of community.
