Palisades, just seven miles outside Downtown Washington, DC, runs a bit off the beaten path for many Washingtonians, but those who live here will find a small-town haven on the edge of a major metropolis. Just northwest of Georgetown University, Palisades features single-family bungalows and condos with views of the Potomac along the southwest border of the neighborhood.
Families with kids often move to the Palisades neighborhood to send their children to the top-rated Francis Scott Key Elementary School. Others opt for the many private schools in the immediate vicinity. There are plenty of convenient stores and high-end restaurants — such as Black Salt — that attract diners from all over the city.
