Around the Block

Georgetown:

A charming village and exclusive enclave for the toniest of Washingtonians.

​​​​​​​Georgetown was founded more than fifty years before Washington, DC as a tiny port town in what was then the colony of Maryland. Although it was later absorbed into the federal District, it has always maintained its own sense of individuality with a strong community.

The best boutiques and lifestyle shops are right around the corner.
