Van Ness is a neighborhood in northwest Washington, DC that has some similar issues to Wheaton, MD. Both have a red line metro station and lots of people who get around by walking, but both are also split down the middle by some busy streets containing a lot of traffic. In Van Ness it is Connecticut Avenue and in Wheaton it is Georgia Avenue and University Blvd.
Both have some great restaurants, grocery stores, access to lots of parkland, and a full public library nearby, however both are somewhat unknown to outsiders. I know this is off the topic of Wheaton, but I recently tried to find
some nice photos of the Van Ness neighborhood and failed
miserably. So I went there and took my own photos. They are included
here so hopefully they make it into the search results for Van Ness DC
neighborhood pictures.
