American University Park or AU Park is a quiet, low-key neighborhood located in the Northwest quadrant of Washington, D.C. Despite its name and proximity to American University, few of the University's buildings are actually located in AU Park. The area is one of the few DC neighborhoods that has a suburban feel yet is located within the District's boundaries. The tree-lined streets serve as a backdrop for the 2700 single-family homes, many featuring colonial-style architecture and well-manicured lawns. A favorite "large green" gathering spot is Turtle Park. Read more about AU Park real estate.
