Neighborhoods
We love our vibrant and diverse neighborhood from the local eateries and bars to the rhythms of Alice’s Jazz club (Sunday and Wednesday nights). Brookland is just a few metro stops from downtown museums and attractions, but is also home to the breathtaking Basilica and Franciscan Monastery and gardens.
