Washington, D.C., is widely renowned for its political and historical sites, cultural venues, world-class dining and the seemingly non-stop special event calendar. A closer look at Washington, D.C., however, also reveals beautiful, livable neighborhoods peppered with unique shopping districts, historic homes and urban parks. For planning purposes, the D.C. government has defined neighborhood clusters, each of which includes three to five sub-communities. Centrally located Cluster 2 contains the neighborhoods of Mount Pleasant, Columbia Heights, Pleasant Plains and Park View. Adjacent to the National Zoological Park and Rock Creek Park, the Cluster 2 neighborhoods enjoy urban conveniences and a proximity to outdoor recreational facilities. The 163-acre National Zoo is a leader in animal conservation science as well as a popular attraction for Washington’s families. Rock Creek Park is used for sports play, hiking, biking, fishing, horseback riding and inline skating. The population of the Cluster 2 neighborhoods is roughly 46,700 and the available housing is diverse. Detached, single-family homes and apartment buildings increasingly cater to higher income families looking for properties in the city. Public education is provided by District of Columbia Public Schools. The district manages more than 165 campuses and serves about 65,000 students.
