A day in the life of a Friendship Heights resident can run the gamut from high-style boutiques and day spas to an office at any of the major businesses, perhaps lunch al fresco at a casual cafe, and home to a condo that looks and feels like a country estate.
Just seven Metro subway stops from downtown Washington, DC, Friendship Heights, on the red line, is the first stop in Maryland. The neighborhood extends into northwest DC.

Home life in Friendship Heights can be whatever you want. Walk to the main drag, Wisconsin Ave., NW, for movies, or stay in your luxurious castle, likely a modern high-rise with views towering over the trees of Rock Creek Park. On a clear day, you just might spot the Capitol southeast, and be able to determine by the rising of the flags which, if any, house of Congress is in session. Come dark, the halls of Congress may be alit and your representative hard at work, but you’ll be able to mix the muted sounds of people laughing in the street with the rustle of the oaks.
Jump on the subway for the plethora of trendy restaurants in Bethesda, the next stop up, in Maryland. Go also for the farmers’ market, independent arts movie theater or to work at the National Institutes of Health. Shop at the favored White Flint Mall, also a Metro stop, or drive to discount stores of for ethnic treasures on Rockville Pike, which turns back to Wisconsin Ave. south into DC. Home will be six stops south of Rockville, MD, if your business is high-tech. Or, you might be able to walk to the office if your job is at GEICO or the Ritz-Carlton; both are headquartered in Friendship Heights. Maybe you’re in TV news—Fox’s local station is nearby.
Despite the size of big business located in Friendship Heights, the streets are spanking clean, and the powerful corporations fit in with the community feel and decorate the streets with tall pots of manicured shrubs. Mom-and-pops, too, show their pride, as little havens that sometimes feel like they are in a place like Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, CA, but, in fact, are a perfect place to put your feet up on a neighboring chair on the sidewalk.
Your Friendship Heights condo for sale will be sumptuous with top-grade amenities and features and, likely, a solicitous concierge who knows your favorite performers and will stop you to check if you want tickets to a concert before it’s advertised.
When your rhythm calls for a faster beat, hop on the Metro to Adams Morgan, just four stops south, where Latin, African and other music sings into the wee hours. Wake up late in your sanctuary of peace and luxury. Idle over brunch, sun streaming inside. And, venture back to the Adams Morgan stop to the National Zoo exit. Next weekend, get up early and go while the monkeys are playing outside in the trees.
Friendship Heights residents are involved in their community and are working diligently working to make sure development is controlled and desirable. This is the time to get in and hold your spot of prime real estate.
