Adams Morgan blends classic DC architecture with a lively, international energy. Centered on 18th Street and Columbia Road, the neighborhood offers cafés, restaurants, music venues, and boutiques alongside quiet, tree-lined residential blocks. It’s highly walkable and Metro-accessible, with everyday errands, culture, and nightlife just steps from home.
Once two adjoining communities—Adams (around 18th & Columbia) and Morgan (near Florida Ave)—the area grew rapidly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as streetcars pushed the city north. By the mid-20th century the name “Adams Morgan” came to represent a unified, diverse neighborhood, celebrated today for its multicultural identity, independent businesses, and arts scene.
