WASHINGTON D.C. OVERVIEW

Change has come to Washington, DC this year as new residents moved into the most recognizable luxury home in the world. The striking south façade of The White House is instantly identifiable and is a symbol of Washington's influence and majesty. Though markedly familiar, the residence of America's First Family has gone through several changes throughout the years, both big and small - from the construction of the West Wing during Theodore Roosevelt's presidency to the recent installation of a swing set on the grounds for Malia and Sasha Obama.

In addition to being an American icon, the ever-evolving White House also mirrors the varied selection of Washington, DC luxury homes. In the metro area of the nation's capital are new construction luxury residences with the most modern and contemporary amenities, along with centuries-old estates awash in the unmatched history of their surroundings. Grand homes near the natural beauty of Rock Creek Park, Georgetown Victorians, classic Colonials, luxurious penthouses, modern townhomes and more combine to create a robust and diverse Washington DC luxury home market.

Cultural endeavors in the DC area are limitless - from the monuments on the National Mall to the Smithsonian museums, performing arts at the Kennedy Center and halls of power on Capital Hill, the city is alive with enriching activities.

Education is not only found in buildings housing important objects from different eras, but also in some of the nation's top private schools and universities. The honoring of the great minds of the past and the shaping of the great minds of the future is yet another strong measure of Washington's wide ranging influence.

Owning a Washington, DC luxury home can only bring a greater appreciation of the remarkable place that has been host to an infinitely important and intriguing history, and a place that sets the course for the future of a nation.
