Around Golden Triangle
The Golden Triangle is right in the center of it all, meaning it’s home to a lot more office spaces than residences. But that’s not to say you can’t find a home in this area if you’re set on it. In the heart of the Golden Triangle, near Farragut Square and the White House, you’re more likely to find businesses and co-working spaces than anything else. Besides, thanks to the morning commutes and regular tourism, you may not want to live centrally in this neighborhood. When it comes to the Golden Triangle, narrow your search to the outskirts and side streets of the neighborhood. You can still snag an insanely short commute to work without as much of a hectic vibe.
You can find a place to live in the Golden Triangle as long as you’re prepared to drop a pretty penny on your property. You’re paying for proximity—condos here are several hundred thousand dollars depending on quality, and if you want one of D.C.’s picturesque rowhouses, you’ll need a large budget. Driving through the neighborhood, you’ll notice that many of your neighbors aren’t fellow residential owners at all, but rather foreign embassies and consulates working with a higher budget than the typical homebuyer.
Fast casual is the theme in the Golden Triangle thanks to all of the aforementioned office buildings. Local eateries cater to the work lunch crowd, and pretty much every healthy chain you’ve ever encountered exists somewhere here (along with a few D.C.-specific places you’ve never seen before). People in the Golden Triangle are usually pretty busy on their way from one work event to another, so a premium is placed on salads and sandwiches that can be taken to-go. But if you’re looking for a sit-down meal, don’t worry—plenty of finer dining options are there to serve local business people wooing clients, tourists visiting the White House, and professional happy hours.
Like D.C.’s VIPs, the Golden Triangle is buttoned-up and well kept. While not being a neighborhood that many in the District actually call “home,” the area is devoted to making itself a destination. The first thing you’ll notice in the area is definitely that it is through-and-through a business district. At rush hour times, the sidewalks and metro trains are packed with people in suits. You may also run into some visitors. Due to the neighborhood’s proximity to the White House, it’s not uncommon to see a gaggle of middle-schoolers on a field trip.
Because it houses a ton of offices, the Golden Triangle is also a key spot to meet up for happy hour after a long week. With rooftops, beer gardens, and more to choose from, it’s a great place to transition from work week to weekend. During nicer weather, “Farragut Fridays” are the place to be. From movie screenings in the park to food truck roundups, there’s plenty to provide you with a fun family outing or a unique date night. They’ll even do free, night-time workout classes in the square for anyone who needs to decompress.
The Golden Triangle definitely quiets down on weekends when the commuters head home, but that isn’t to say it goes totally silent. You can take a stroll by some of the public art installations, browse the famous art at the Renwick Gallery, or check out some of the exciting exhibitions at National Geographic.
