Per recent Zillow Market Trends, the median asking rent has been in the high $2,000s over the past few months, with typical listings ranging from the mid-$2,000s for smaller apartments to the $4,000s+ for larger homes. Daily life clusters along Wisconsin Avenue at City Ridge and Cathedral Commons (Wegmans, Tatte, Giant), plus Tenleytown-AU and Friendship Heights Metro stops; local flavor includes 2Amys, Chef Geoff’s, Wagshal’s, Guapo’s, Whole Foods, cozy coffee shops, Onelife Fitness Tenleytown, playgrounds, and dog time at local parks and nearby Newark Street Dog Park. It is notably family- and pet-friendly with walkable pockets and easy access to American University and downtown.
