Clara Barton

Sharing a block with such tried-and-true D.C. establishments as Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company and the acclaimed Indian restaurant Rasika, The Clara Barton is a high-rise condo building whose 255 homes put you above the rush of Penn Quarter’s exciting 7th Street strip. (But not too far above.) For gym bunnies, there’s an on-site fitness center. For film buffs turned off by packed theaters, there’s your own private movie theatre for screenings. For workaholics, there’s an in-building business center and conference room for when you have work but don’t want to be at the office. For modern-day transcendentalists, there’s The Clara Barton’s landscaped roof deck to give you fresh air and green plants without having to leave the excitement of the city. For history- and culture-buffs, you can say your neighbors are some of the city’s best museums, federal buildings, and monuments. And for those unabashedly loyal to their brands, there’s a Starbucks on your block for a morning coffee – or an evening tea
