Dupont Circle and neighboring Golden Triangle are two of the most attractive and interesting neighborhoods of Washington, D.C. Their popularity stems from the sophisticated and eclectic nature of the homes, businesses and historical sites that comprise this part of D.C. Dupont Circle, Midtown and Golden Triangle are located east of the Potomac Parkway and north of the National Mall. Dupont Circle specifically refers to the neighborhood immediately surrounding the Dupont traffic circle, where Massachusetts Avenue, Connecticut Avenue, New Hampshire Avenue, P and 19th Street intersect. The name Dupont refers to the landmark fountain located in the park in the center of the traffic circle; the fountain memorializes Samuel Francis du Pont for his military service. Just south of this area is the Golden Triangle, a 38-block district containing some of Washington’s best retail, dining and commercial space. Connecticut Avenue is a major transportation corridor that runs from the northwest through the Golden Triangle towards the White House. Dupont Circle became one of D.C.’s more stylish neighborhoods at the turn of the century and has maintained its appeal ever since. The multi-story, Queen Anne and Richardsonian Romanesque Revival homes dating back to the late-19th century offer an interesting selection for home buyers. Convenience is also a factor: Dupont Circle is an in-town neighborhood, centrally located near commercial districts and shopping, dining and entertainment venues. Real estate options here consist of single-family detached homes, condominiums and townhouses in a wide range of styles and price range.

The area was given the name Foggy Bottom because it was set low near the Potomac River and was often filled with fog from the local industries. Today, the historic neighborhood is preserved and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Foggy Bottom is most known for the KennedyCenter, the Watergate Hotel and GeorgeWashingtonUniversity.
