Kalorama, Washington, D.C. - Kalorama Triangle

Kalorama Triangle

The Kalorama Triangle is a residential enclave in Northwest Washington bounded by three major thoroughfares: Connecticut Avenue, Calvert Street, NW and Columbia Road. Bordering on Rock Creek Park this area enjoys a reputation for its natural attributes—its hilly terrain, cool breezes, and fine views over the city of Washington, as well as the close-knit village-within-a-city character of the community. Developed largely between 1897 and 1931, the neighborhood is filled with architecturally significant free-standing and attached houses, commercial buildings, and a variety of modest and grand apartment buildings sited along curvilinear tree-lined streets. Kalorama Park is located in the Kalorama Triangle.

Kalorama Triangle is in the service area of Advisory Neighborhood Commission 1C, and is represented by the commissioners for 1C02 (the boundaries of which comprise the southern half of Kalorama Triangle) and 1C03 (which the northern half shares with a portion of Adams Morgan.
