Tucked along the Potomac River in Northwest Washington, D.C., The Palisades is a neighborhood defined by its dramatic riverfront cliffs, rich history, and close-knit community spirit. Originally developed as a streetcar suburb in the late 19th century, this once-rural area now features early 20th-century Colonial Revival and Craftsman homes, charming local institutions, and treasured landmarks like the Palisades Firehouse and Conduit Road Schoolhouse. With tree-lined streets, community-driven events like the beloved July 4th parade, and easy access to outdoor spaces like the Capital Crescent Trail, The Palisades offers a peaceful, village-like setting that feels both timeless and welcoming, an ideal blend of nature, history, and neighborhood pride.
