It’s a quiet, residential district. A couple of notable things are Trinity College and Washington Hospital Center; there’s nothing ‘touristy’ in Brookland. I’ve lived here for 3 years, if you’re looking for a quiet place in the city where the prices aren’t too high, where you’re close to Metro and bus lines, 15 minutes away from the Beltway and 15 minutes away from Route 50, where you’re close to downtown but not so close that you can’t park on the street, and where you can see trees, Brookland is the place to look.
