Petworth tends to rise and set with the sun. The weather vibe sets the tone for the day. Petworth is nearing the end of the gentrification process. Out with the old, in with the new. Its not all bad. Petworth is walker, runner and cycle friendly. You will see a lot of dog walkers early mornings and evenings. Watch out for those that don't "scoop when they poop"! 👎🏽 If you have a car, off street parking is a must.

Great food and one of the best places to people watch. You can take the water taxi from the Southwest Wharf along the Potomac River to National Harbor, Georgetown Harbor or Alexandria! This is where you go for fresh seafood or to dine along the Potomac River. During the summer there are outdoor concerts. If you just want to take a stroll you might want to head to the Wharf.
