Sixteenth Street Heights
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sixteenth Street Heights is a large neighborhood in Northwest Washington, D.C., bounded by 16th Street on the west, Georgia Avenue on the east, Kennedy Street to the north, and Spring Road NW to the south.
Sixteenth Street Heights is one of the most demographically diverse neighborhoods in the city. The houses and homes along 16th Street and its surrounding corridor are primarily owned by affluent white residents; in contrast, the commercial corridors of 14th Street and Georgia Avenue cater to middle- and lower-middle-class Hispanic and African American customers.
Sixteenth Street Heights most often recognized at “16th Street Heights” has seen a tremendous transformation in recent years. Many of the stately detached homes between 14th Street and 16th Street were developed and sold by BF Saul beginning around 1907 making this one of the first new neighborhoods as a result of the 14th street car line.
