It’s one of Washington’s smallest neighborhoods, ideally located for those who want to be in the middle of the action, and home to luxury real estate as well. With the intriguing name of Foggy Bottom, this very old community along the Potomac River got its name from long-ago river mists that would combine with factory smoke from gas works and beer breweries. In the modern era, it’s an intriguing mixture of upscale residences, government offices, business corporations, and creative culture in the form of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
