The Palisades is a neighborhood in Washington, D.C. , situated along the Potomac River , running roughly from the edge of the Georgetown University campus (at Foxhall Road) all the way to the D.C.-Maryland boundary (near Delacarlia Treatment Plant). MacArthur Boulevard is the main thoroughfare that passes through The Palisades. The Palisades is part of Advisory Neighborhood Commission 3D in Ward 3, the far northwest corner of the Northwest Quadrant just north of Georgetown . The Palisades is one of the lesser-known neighborhoods in Washington, with a mixture of detached houses, townhomes and apartments. The homes along the bluff offer a broad view of the Potomac River and the Virginia riverfront, with often impressive sunset views. The high point of the year for many in the neighborhood is the annual July 4th parade, featuring local bands, fire engines and children on highly decorated tricycles and bicycles. The Palisades is served by the Francis Scott Key Elementary School, which is part of the DC Public Schools . Current residents include Alan Greenspan and Karl Rove . EXTERNAL LINKS |
