While the rest of Washington DC sleeps, there are a couple of notable neighborhoods that come alive at night. U Street is one such neighborhood where you can actually feel its history and the diverse beat of the music as this neighborhood shines each night in the cultural spotlight. "Funky", "Cool", "Ultra Urban" - these are just a few of the terms being used to describe one of DC's hottest condo markets well known for Ben's Chili Bowl and the Lincoln Theatre - U Street.

U Street has been praised in the New York Times, The Boston Globe, and Marie Claire to name only a few. Clearly, U Street is one of the hottest addresses in DC. Other metropolitan areas around the country are modeling U Street as a pure and simple example of Urban Renaissance. Steeped with history this beautiful neighborhood offers a rocking nightlife, the best in art galleries, the ultimate in restaurants and shopping, and is still known as one of the elite spots for jazz and blues music in the country.

U Street is no longer set apart from the rest of DC; today the green and yellow metro stops right in the middle of the neighborhood. And this Urban Renaissance beginning in the 90s after decades of neglect shows no signs of slowing down as it gathers speed. Rising from the ashes of the riots following Martin Luther King's assassination, the boarded up buildings and community neglect have been transformed into one of the most glorious of the DC Historic Districts. U Street Corridor has blossomed into a growing community of artists, boutiques, chic urbanites and nightlife seekers.

As is true of any great Urban Renaissance, here history, art, and architecture has been preserved and blended with the new. The greater U Street Historic District extends roughly from 16^th Street on the west to 7^th street on the east and from S Street on the south to Florida Ave on the north and includes over 1500 historic buildings. Year round both visitors and residents enjoy the fascinating history of the U Street area by walking City Within a City: Greater U Street Heritage Trail. There is also the African American Heritage Trail to explore and enjoy.

On all sides of U Street, the grid of streets is defined by a preserved collection of 19^th century residential row houses along with churches and corner stores. Then, during the recent transformation starting in the 90's, numerous luxury condominiums were built like Union Row and the Ellington giving fresh life to the neglected area. Today, nearly 10,000 new condos and apartments have been added to the U Street real estate landscape in the past decade. Hold on as the Floridian opens condo sales Feb 25 2010 and new life continues in U Street.
