The Third District is located in the Northwest quadrant of the District of Columbia, near the center of the city. Though primarily a residential district, 3D also encompasses several business and commercial areas that attract many visitors.
The Third District is home to some of the city’s best-known neighborhoods—Adams Morgan, Cardozo-Shaw, Columbia Heights, Dupont Circle, Farragut North, Kalorama, Logan Circle, and Mt. Pleasant among them—and is rich in ethnic and cultural diversity.
Among 3D’s dynamic business corridors are the Dupont Circle area, including Connecticut Avenue, and the 17th Street Business Corridor. The area surrounding 18th Street and Columbia Road, NW, is rapidly developing a reputation as “Georgetown East.” With its historic Lincoln Theater and wide variety of dining establishments, the U Street Corridor is another busy nightlife destination, with easy access from the Green Line Metro station at 13th and U Streets, NW.
