Catholic University, Brookland

Brookland, a neighborhood located in the Northeast quadrant of DC, with its many churches, plethora of art, and abundance of greenspace, is unsurprisingly also home to the famous Catholic University of America. Also affectionately known as “Little Rome”, this tree-lined area is peaceful, spiritual, and surprisingly funky. The booming arts scene and many students make for a playful mix of traditional and liberal in this neighborhood, where charming, historic, single-family homes are more common than in other areas of the city.
