     The Hawthorne neighborhood is unique in that it is solely single-family homes. The ramblers, split-level homes, and Cape Cods were built in the 1950s. A few new homes in Hawthorne have been constructed over the last decade.

HIGHLIGHTS

     Hawthorne could be the only neighborhood in Washington that is not physically connected to another DC neighborhood. The eastern side of Hawthorne is the uppermost part of Rock Creek Park, and the southern border is Pinehurst Parkway. The neighborhood's western border is Western Avenue, and the Montgomery County subdivision of Village of Martins Addition is on the other side of the Avenue.

     The neighborhood exudes tranquility and an old-fashioned neighborly atmosphere. There is no commercial development in Hawthorne. A few of the streets bear the names of trees like the streets in Shepherd Park, its neighbor east of the park.

HISTORY

      Most people assume that Hawthorne is part of Chevy Chase, but this small enclave was not a part of the land developed by the Chevy Chase Land Company (see history of Chevy Chase). It was, however, part of the 3,000 acres granted to Thomas Addison and James Stoddert in 1713, the half that, when divided, went to Stoddert. The area remained relatively undeveloped until the 1950s.
