Covering Petworth, Brightwood Park, Manor Park, and 16th Street Heights, 20011 blends leafy, porch-lined blocks with easy park access. Expect four true seasons—humid summers, colorful falls, occasional winter snow, and lush springs. Daily life centers on Georgia Avenue and Upshur Street, where you’ll find coffee spots, neighborhood bars, Timber Pizza–style eateries, and Loyalty Bookstores; groceries are convenient at Safeway (Petworth) and the Lidl on Georgia Ave, with the Petworth Community Market in season. Fitness and green time are big: Rock Creek Park trails, Fort Slocum and Fort Stevens, Upshur Pool and Dog Park, Emery Heights fields, and bike links toward the Metropolitan Branch Trail. Transit is straightforward via Georgia Ave–Petworth and Fort Totten Metro plus frequent bus corridors, making it commuter-friendly yet relaxed at night. According to Zillow market trends over the past few months, the median rent here is about $2,500, with most rentals ranging roughly $1,700–$3,300. The area skews community- and family-forward and is notably pet friendly.
