Columbia Heights
Steadily transforming from edgy to inviting, Columbia Heights’ renaissance is due in part to a recent influx of big box retailers, nightlife, and mainstream entertainment options. Suburban conveniences blend with urban sensibilities—ethnic eateries, one-of-a-kind dive bars, and family-run bakeries populate its mural-covered side streets. The DC USA Mall provides a wealth of shopping, including Target, Starbucks, The Vitamin Shoppe, The Children’s Place, Sports Zone Elite, CVS, Marshalls, Chick-fil-A, DSW, Petco and much, much more. The Columbia Heights Metro makes for easy local transportation.
