Green space galore within the city limits

Wedged between Cathedral Heights, Georgetown and acres of parkland, Glover Park is an evergreen community that’s best known for striking a balance between convenience and congeniality in the busy city. No matter where you land, amenities are just steps away. “Glover Park is very unique in terms of it being in the city and getting all that green space,” Chad Dudley, Principal at The Dudley Group of Compass and resident of Glover Park for the past 12 years says.

From condominiums and 1920s row houses to large single-family homes

Homebuyers nestle into garden condos and 1920s row homes, finding themselves integrated into a tight-knit community in no time. The neighborhood’s spacious yards and porch fronts lend to impromptu meetups, gardening attempts and festive decorations. Condos here start at $160,000 and go for up to $900,000, depending on the condition and renovations of the interior. Row homes in the neighborhood start at $950,000 and can go as high as $1.6 million based on the square footage, upgrades and bedroom count. Single-family homes are not as common in Glover Park, but they sell for between $1.8 million and $3.3 million.

Glover Archbold Park provides immense green space for all

A fringe of green space borders the neighborhood. With 183 acres of woodland and miles of designated trails, Glover Archbold Park easily becomes a field day for nature lovers and power-walking pros. The area’s two recreation centers, Stoddert and Guy Mason, pack in the playgrounds and athletic fields. In the warmer months, residents can find the Glover Park Co-ed Softball League in full swing at Stoddert Recreation Center, just outside of the eponymous elementary school.

Authentic German experience at Old Europe

Whether residents are looking for groceries or prepared food, they’ll find it all on Wisconsin Avenue. The lively stretch teems with beloved dining rooms, take-outs and big-box retailers. Locals have a deep affection for Old Europe, a landmark restaurant that has been serving authentic German food since it opened its doors in 1948. Visitors are served by Waitresses dressed in traditional German Dirndls, while the interior of the restaurant is decorated in an ‘old world’ style. For those looking for American cuisine, Glover Park Grill is another local favorite. From its crab cake sandwich to its filet mignon, its menu is one that won’t disappoint. The area’s Whole Foods is the first of its kind in the DC area. With the help of an innovative “just walk out” technology, the market nixes manned registers and sends your receipt by email.

Glover Park-Dupont Circle Metrobus line

“The location is a huge draw. You aren’t downtown, but you have easy access to downtown,” Dudley says. “The neighborhood is centrally located.” While there is no Metro station in Glover Park, residents use the Metrobus system to get around. For those residents looking to get out of town, Ronald Reagan International Airport is a 5-mile drive from Glover Park. For those in need of medical attention, George Washington University Hospital is just a 2-mile drive.

Glover Park Day every June

The first week of June annually, the neighborhood has Glover Park Day. Co-sponsored by the Friends of Guy Mason and the DC Department of Parks and Recreation, the outdoor festival includes local artists, music and businesses. Local vendors from around the community bring food as well.
