Located just northeast of the District line, Takoma Park is a unique incorporated town with a vintage atmosphere and an arty, eclectic downtown where you can buy vintage clothing and shop at the farmer’s market every Sunday. The homes range from small ramblers to elaborate Victorians, but the town is best known for its Arts & Crafts bungalows and Victorians. Sligo Park winds through the area with many green spaces and playgrounds that give the neighborhood an old-fashioned, small-town atmosphere.
