Neighborhood

Brightwood's western edge consists of part of Rock Creek Park, a large park covering 1,754 acres. The park includes a tennis center, a golf course, horse trails, a playground, picnic areas, hiking trails, boathouses, and the historic site Fort DeRussy. Brightwood begins along Military Road and extends north to roughly Aspen Street. Fort Stevens, located near Georgia Avenue, is a popular historic park featuring Civil War fortifications and hiking and bicycling trails. Also located in the neighborhood, the Fort Stevens Recreation Center offers a playground, tennis court, and a water feature.

Situated north of 16th Street Heights and south of Shepherd Park, Brightwood is a popular and growing neighborhood, known for its row houses. Because it is in the northern section of DC, doesn't have a Metro station, and is completely residential without the presence of bars and nightlife, Brightwood hasn't been on the radar of most Washingtonians -- until now.
