Upper Connecticut Avenue NW runs through three of Washington's most storied residential neighborhoods: Woodley Park, home to the Smithsonian's National Zoo; Cleveland Park, a National Register historic district dating to 1886; and Van Ness / North Cleveland Park, home to the University of the District of Columbia. Together they form the heart of the 20008 zip code.
The corridor is known for grand pre-war apartment buildings — including the Kennedy-Warren and the Tudor Revival-style 3901 Connecticut Avenue — alongside Craftsman bungalows and Queen Anne homes in the Cleveland Park Historic District. This page focuses on the upper stretch of Connecticut Avenue; for the Dupont Circle end of the avenue further south, see our dedicated Dupont Circle page.

The Cleveland Park Historic District's single-family bungalows and Queen Anne homes add another layer, with owners often wanting repairs and upgrades that preserve a home's protected historic character rather than a generic modern replacement.
