Columbia Heights

The Heartbeat of the City

One can feel the heartbeat of the city pulsing in Northwest’s Columbia Heights, which is home to one of the cities most ethnically and economically diverse communities. This revitalized shopping district features a commercially driven 14th Street, complete with Target, Best Buy, and Starbucks, while nearby 11th Street cultivates quirky local eateries. The Gala Hispanic Theatre, The Dance Institute of Washington and a free performance space called Bloombars all speak to this melting pot. Columbia Heights is a true mecca for public transportation; with easy Metro access and buses running in all directions, it just makes sense to call one of our Columbia Heights apartment communities home.
