North Cleveland Park in the Post’s “Where We Live”

January 5, 2016 by FHC

Fessenden House and North Cleveland Park have little in common besides proximity, but news reports of the $18 million mansion’s sale nevertheless jogged our memory (because they’re both real estate related? Our mind works in mysterious ways at times).

The Washington Post featured North Cleveland Park back in October, and the advantages it found then remain true now. It’s a quiet neighborhood that’s also in the middle of the action due to the neighborhood’s location between Connecticut and Wisconsin Avenues (Albemarle Street is the northern boundary, the Post places the southernmost boundary at Tilden Street).

North Cleveland Park is marked in red on this map from Wikimedia Commons.

Walkability and access to green spaces are among the selling points. Many residents are a ten to 15-minute walk from the Saturday farmers market at Sheridan School, the shops and restaurants in Tenleytown and Van Ness, and to the community garden on Sedgwick Street.

    According to that map, the eastern boundary is Connecticut Avenue. If that’s so, what neighborhood do the residents of the AVA and the three Van Ness buildings live in? ;-)

      According to a 1937 neighborhood map (https://www.foresthillsconnection.com/news/fun-with-maps/) you were in Fernwood Heights. Now realtors will claim you’re in Forest Hills. Whether you want to claim Forest Hills… that’s another thing entirely!

      The majority of residents on the east side will probably say they live in Van Ness or Forest Hills.

    I was (mostly) joking, but thanks for the replies. Tracy, those are great maps!

      Neighborhood borders are SUPER SERIOUS. I lived in one spot for the past 15 years and was claimed by North Cleveland Park, Forest Hills and Wakefield. Talk about your identity crisis!

    I always say I live in North Cleveland Park, but then quickly add “near Tenleytown” because no one ever knows where NCP is!
