NW is the northwestern quadrant of Washington, D.C., towards the northern parts of National Mall and west of North Capitol Street. It is the largest of the four quadrants of the city (NW, NE, SW and SE), and it includes the central business district, the Federal Triangle, and the museums along the northern side of the National Mall.

Homes range from historic to modern structures, apartments and condominiums and the market is thriving! Northwest contains many college campuses, including American University, George Washington University, Georgetown University, Howard University, and the University of the District of Columbia. The Verizon Center, home of the Washington Wizards, the Washington Capitals, and the Georgetown Hoyas as well as the venue for many concerts and other events, is located in Northwest, as are the National Cathedral, the White House, and Rock Creek Park. Northwest is the only quadrant accessible via all lines of the Washington Metro.
