Massachusetts Avenue Heights is a sought after, exclusive address in the northwest quadrant of Washington, DC. The majority of the neighborhood is occupied by the Washington National Cathedral, leaving little room for residential real estate. Accordingly, most of the homes are tucked into a small triangular area between Massachusetts Avenue and Garfield Street just north of Observatory Circle and the Vice President’s residence.
