In northwest Washington D.C. near the Potomac River lies the neighborhood of Georgetown. It is considered a major recreational and commercial neighborhood with historical roots. Due to the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal, Georgetown experienced major economic growth up into the 19 century. Then the waterways and canals hampered further expansion. As more congressmen and lobbyists made their home in the neighborhood, the city experienced a revitalization in 2003, bringing in more commercial businesses to make it into an affluent neighborhood.

Since Washington D.C. is the home of the U.S. Congress and military operations, most people have government or military jobs as they commute from Georgetown to The Capital. Single professionals dominate the area with a scattering of families as the household median income is around $116,300. With a population of almost 14,000, you are sure to feel welcomed in this community if you are seeking a professional career in the region.
