Renting in Columbia Heights affords you the chance to catch a performance at the GALA Hispanic Theater, explore Meridian Hill Park, attend the Annual Sundress Fest at Wonderland Ballroom, learn more about Mexican history and customs at the Mexican Cultural Institute, and absorb the history of the neighborhood on the Columbia Heights Heritage Trail. You can also visit the nearby Smithsonian National Zoological Park, Lincoln Theatre, and the Phillips Collection whenever you please.
