  Washington, DC--Cleveland Park
Cleveland Park is unusual because of its concentration of architect-designed late Victorian frame houses reminiscent of New England summer homes.
All of the streets between the avenues in Cleveland Park retain the suburban flavor of the initial development with a preponderance of single-family dwellings set in generous natural surroundings.
Cleveland Parks is roughly bounded by Klingle and Woodley Rds., NW, on the south; Wisconsin Ave., NW, on the west; Rodman and Tilden Sts., NW, on the north; and the rear of properties along Connecticut Ave., NW, on the east.

 Explore DC: Cleveland Park
Only a short Metro ride from the Mall and downtown is a bucolic residential neighborhood that has the feel of a small New England town at the turn of the 20th century.
Cleveland Park's unique character today is ideally experienced by strolling along its best-preserved streets within the designated historic district west of Connecticut Avenue—Macomb, Newark, Highland Place, and Ordway.
Good starting points for a walk are Washington National Cathedral, which anchors the neighborhood on its southwestern corner, and the Cleveland Park Metro stop, located in the midst of a commercial strip of restaurants and shops on Connecticut Avenue.

 20 Injured in Crash of 2 Red Line Trains (washingtonpost.com)
An out-of-service Metro train lost its brakes in a tunnel between the Woodley Park and Cleveland Park stations yesterday, rolled backward down a steep grade at about 30 mph and slammed into another train, sending plumes of fl smoke into the station and passengers running for their lives.
Richard A. White, Metro's chief executive, said last night that the Woodley Park Station was expected to reopen this morning, with trains running on a single track between the Van Ness and Dupont Circle stations.
The Metro system also is designed with something called rollback protection, in which electronic signals built into the track are supposed to recognize that a train is moving backward and notify computers on the train to engage the brakes automatically.

 Photos: Cleveland Park, Washington, DC - Cyburbia Forums
Cleveland Park was once a collection of summer homes for the city's elite.
Of course, wealthy people are notorious NIMBY's, and if not for the NIMBYism of the residents of Cleveland Park, there probably would have been a freeway running up Connecticut Ave; additionally, if not for the efforts of neighborhood activists from Cleveland Park, the DC Metro system might not exist as it does today.
Hope these photos help convey why Cleveland Park is one of the most accessible, livable, attractive, and downright desirable (and quite expensive) neighborhoods in the entire Washington, DC region.
