Kalorama, meaning “beautiful view” in Greek, is one of Washington, D.C.’s most prestigious and architecturally elegant neighborhoods. With roots tracing back to Native American lands and an 1807 estate established by poet and diplomat Joel Barlow, Kalorama has long been associated with cultural significance and political prominence. The neighborhood evolved as a streetcar suburb in the late 19th century and today is divided into two distinct sections, Kalorama Triangle and Sheridan-Kalorama, each offering a blend of grand single-family homes, historic rowhouses, and refined apartment buildings. Known for its quiet streets, cohesive architecture, and notable residents, including presidents and diplomats, Kalorama combines historic charm with an air of timeless sophistication.
