As you cross the Taft Bridge heading north on Connecticut Avenue, you’ll see a mural of Marilyn Monroe. This is your welcome to Woodley Park, one of Washington, DC’s most popular neighborhoods.
Builder and real estate developer, Harry Wardman (1872-1938), left a large footprint in the neighborhood with his Wardman Towers. He also designed many of the brick townhouses that are famous for beautiful oak floors with mahogany inlays and for their dysfunctional galley kitchens.
While most of the houses have had their kitchens redone over the decades, you can live in Woodley Park and never cook or wash a dish. Between the Metro stop and your home, you’ll find restaurants serving up cuisines from around the globe, and most offer takeout or home delivery.
For runners and cyclists, there is an entrance to Rock Creek Park’s trails on Calvert Street, the southern border of the neighborhood. 
Oyster Elementary School offers the neighborhood children a special bi-lingual immersion program. And another important educational institution, The National Zoological Park, is a place where children of all ages can have a great time checking out the animals, including the giant pandas.
Since the first of the year, prices for homes in Woodley Park ranged between $751,000 for a 2000 square foot row house to a high of $2,730,000 a new home on Cathedral Avenue
I think I was in this neighborhood a couple of years ago when I was in DC - looks very familar. Is it between Georgetown and some other town with a Hilton that has a big circular drive up entry???
Carol, there are a couple of huge hotels up there. There's a Hilton down the hill toward Dupont Circle. If you saw Marily, you were in Woodley Park!
