Wesley Heights is home to some of the largest Colonials in Washington. Other luxury homes are stylized Cape Cods, New Orleans, and Georgians as well as a few split levels, bungalows, and Tudors. Most homes have sizeable, manicured front lawns and stately trees. Part of the neighborhood is on rolling hills, and yards seem to disappear into the woods. Wesley Heights also have several townhouse communities. Much of Wesley Heights looks as if homes and lawns were dropped into woodland. The eastern border of the neighborhood is Glover-Archbold Park and part of the western border is Battery Kemble Park. Deer can occasionally be seen venturing out of the parks. Yet, Wesley Heights has two shopping centers side-by-side on New Mexico Avenue. One is home to Balducci's, formerly Sutton Place Gourmet, and a popular restaurant with outdoor seating. Foxhall Square, in addition to numerous medical offices, has upscale shops, a pharmacy, bank, and Starbucks. (Randall Hagner had an office in Foxhall Square until it moved to a larger location on Wisconsin Avenue). Mann Elementary School is located across the street from Foxhall Square. Until the 1920s, Wesley Heights was farmland. By the turn of the century, as Washingtonians began to spend their summers west of the city, they often traveled through the area to reach their destinations in Kent and Palisades and into Bethesda, Maryland. (see history of Kent and Palisades). John F. Waggaman bought much of the area that is now Wesley Heights in 1890. By the panic of 1893, however, he was ready to sell. Over the next 30 years, the area had several owners until H. Roger Dulany bought it. W.C. and A.N. Miller, who built their first development in Cleveland Park (see history of Cleveland Park) purchased the land in the mid 1920s from Dulany. Their first homes were built along Klingle Street, near New Mexico Avenue. The houses were built on rectangular lots with varied motifs and materials. All styles of homes were "revival" - Colonial, Georgian, Dutch Colonial, Spanish Colonial, Tudor, and a few hybrids of each. In their advertising brochures Wesley Heights was described as the "Garden Spot of Washington." The Millers planned Wesley Heights with a community club house and shuttle service to and from the streetcar on Wisconsin Avenue. In 1925, the community newsletter called "The Leaves of Wesley Heights" began. The neighborhood was developed over the next 30 years.
