Foggy Bottom

Foggy Bottom is one of Washington, DC’s most historic and dynamic neighborhoods, blending the charm of the past with the vibrancy of modern city life. Nestled along the banks of the Potomac River adjacent to Georgetown, this storied community is home to iconic institutions, cultural landmarks, and a strong sense of urban sophistication.

 

Steeped in history, Foggy Bottom dates back to the 18th century and was once an industrial hub and takes it’s name from the fog that settles near the river. Today, it’s a thriving urban neighborhood anchored by The George Washington University, the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and numerous federal agencies including the U.S. Department of State. The neighborhood's name reflects its low-lying geography and the morning mists that once drifted in from the river.
 
Foggy Bottom features a mix of stately 19th-century row homes, modern condominiums, and upscale apartment buildings, all set within a walkable, tree-lined environment. Residents enjoy easy access to both serene green spaces like Rock Creek Park and The National Mall and world-class dining, shopping, and cultural experiences. With its own Metro stop and proximity to downtown, Georgetown, and the waterfront, Foggy Bottom offers unmatched convenience for professionals, students, and city lovers alike.
 
Whether you're drawn by its rich history, intellectual energy, or cosmopolitan flair, Foggy Bottom represents the very best of urban living in the nation’s capital.
