Filled with elegant, detached homes that range from sprawling Victorian mansions to elegant colonials, 16th Street Heights has a personality and style all its own. Unlike its vibrant and active neighbor -- Columbia Heights -- 16th Street Heights is more serene. You won't find a jumble of bars, restaurants, and high-rise condos here, but that doesn't mean that 16th Street Heights isn't one of DC's hottest neighborhoods. More and more residents are discovering this hidden gem, giving the neighborhood a rich diversity. One of the reasons 16th Street Heights has gained in popularity is its location -- directly north of Columbia Heights, within walking distance to Metro stations, and next door to Rock Creek Park, a 1,754-acre park popular for hiking, bicycling, picnicking, the Rock Creek Tennis Center, its horse trails, golfing, playgrounds, the Key Bridge Boat House, and the Thompson Boat Center.
As of February 2026, the average apartment rent in 16th St Heights is $1,521 for one bedroom, and $1,714 for two bedrooms. Apartment rent in 16th St Heights has increased by 1.9% in the past year.
