Most of the over 600 homes in today's Colonial Village neighborhood are detached single family homes with special architectural details such as stained glass windows. Ranch-style, split-level, contemporary, ramblers, and Tudors have also been introduced into the neighborhood.

HIGHLIGHTS

     Colonial Village is the crown that tops the head of Rock Creek Park. Sitting on the northern most section of Rock Creek Park, residents have access to all the recreational facilities the park has to offer. On a large parcel of landscaped land in Colonial Village is the Lowell School. There is no commercial area to Colonial Village, yet it is minutes to East-West Highway and the Beltway.

HISTORY

      Much of Colonial Village was part of the original estate of Boss Shepherd (See history of Shepherd Park). The subdivision of Colonial Village was begun in 1931 on the theme of Colonial America. The builders called for several of the 80 homes to be reproductions of famous Colonial structures such as George Washington's boyhood home, his headquarters at Valley Forge, and the Yorktown home in which Lord Cornwallis signed the articles of surrender. The houses were expensive and, like Shepherd Park, there were restrictive covenants formerly prohibiting African-Americans, Jews, and Middle-Easterners.
