What You'll Love in Bloomingdale
With so many great DC neighborhoods from which to choose, it's hard to know which one will be best for you! So here's what local residents (and visitors) truly love about Bloomingdale.
So Much to Enjoy
It might be a small community of mostly residential areas, but there’s plenty to enjoy throughout the year! Like the weekly Bloomingdale Farmer’s Market, which occurs every Sunday and features local produce, meats, dairy, breads, and baked goods, or the annual Thomas Street Spooktacular Halloween block party. And don’t forget the local greenspaces, like the Crispus Attucks Park or the nearby LeDroit Park, where you can even volunteer to farm at the Common Good City Farm. If you’re seeking a little entertainment, head to Showtime bar to catch a performance by Granny and the Boys, or visit Boundary Stone whiskey bar for open mic nights.
Rich Neighborhood Charm
All-brick Victorian rowhomes lined the quiet streets, scenically tucked behind lush green trees. Rich in both deep-rooted history and exquisite architectural details, they set a picturesque scene for a charming community of small-town spirit where neighbors stop to chat on their afternoon walks and residents turn out to celebrate seasons and fun events throughout the year. It’s the convenience of big-city living with the quiet charm of a small suburb.
