Mt. Pleasant is a quiet, tree lined neighborhood nestled alongside Rock
Creek Park and the National Zoological Park, about three kilometers
North of the city center. One of Washington's first streetcar suburbs,
Mt. Pleasant was developed from a small 19th century village just
outside the old city. Most of the homes, apartments, and storefronts
were built in the early 20th century and the neighborhood has preserved
that historic flavor.
Today the neighborhood is an exciting but cohesive urban area that is
home to a wide range of people from all walks of life and from many
different parts of the world. It's four block long shopping area is a
model for small, independent merchants. Many neighborhood based
organizations are working together to preserve the historic, economic,
and social diversity that make Mt. Pleasant a great place to live.
