The Hartley

Leafy and laid-back, DC’s 20012 spans Takoma, Shepherd Park, Colonial Village, and North Portal Estates along the Maryland line, with a four-season climate (humid summers, colorful fall foliage) and a mix of historic bungalows and mid-century homes beside Rock Creek Park’s trails. The vibe is neighborly and family-minded—porch chats, the Takoma Farmers Market just over the line, and seasonal porch concerts—plus easy Red Line access at Takoma Metro and frequent buses on Georgia Ave and 16th St. Daily errands are simple with the Whole Foods at The Parks at Walter Reed, the Takoma Park–Silver Spring Co-op nearby, coffee at Takoma Beverage Company, and casual eats like Busboys and Poets around Carroll and Cedar. Outdoorsy residents use the Takoma Recreation & Aquatic Center, the local dog park, and bike routes linking to Rock Creek and Sligo Creek. According to recent Zillow Market Trends, median asking rents sit in the low-to-mid $2,000s, with most listings ranging roughly from the upper $1,800s to low $3,000s.
