Mt. Pleasant, DC

Neatly tucked above Adams Morgan, Mt. Pleasant is an up-and-coming, culturally diverse neighborhood whose residents appreciate the small-town feel and independent businesses while loving its proximity to downtown. The neighborhood was voted one of the best for millennials in the DC area, as well as one of its most diverse.

An eclectic community, Mt. Pleasant has transformed itself from a streetcar suburb into an architecturally diverse pedestrian-friendly hub with a distinct character. The neighborhood dates to 1727 when a large piece of land was granted to James Holmead. First named Pleasant Plains then Mount Pleasant Village, today it’s simply known as Mt. Pleasant. It became part of “the district” in 1791.

Something people notice upon entering the community is its lack of an orderly grid of streets that’s typically found through the rest of DC. That’s because for decades the village was separate from the rest of DC by rural land. The neighborhood began to rapidly change in the 1950s when it became racially segregated. Following a period of decline after the 1968 riots, vibrant communities established by immigrants from El Salvador and the Dominican Republic helped the neighborhood turn itself around.
