American University Park is a very suburban neighborhood. It is named after American University, which is actually situated just south of the neighborhood. Dining and shopping options in the immediate neighborhood are scarce, but there is a Wagshal’s Market, locally owned and full of delicious food and produce. There’s also a branch of the popular Tara Thai restaurant and a CVS.  

While the immediate neighborhood is more residential, AU Park is minutes from Tenleytown, which is full of fast-casual restaurants like Chick Fil A, Starbucks, José Andrés’ Beefsteak, Dunkin Donuts and more. AU Park is also conveniently located next to Friendship Heights, which also has plenty of shopping and dining options.

Those who love the great outdoors will enjoy Turtle Park, which is also known as the Friendship Park and Recreation Center. A new state-of-the-art 4,500 square foot recreation facility just opened in spring 2017. The new center will boast room for 125 people and there are plans for a kids’ craft room and an updated upper playground, a basketball court, splash pad and more.

The Tenley-Friendship Library is full of many events for residents, including Tots and Toys Playdates, Monday yoga classes and an essay and writing club.

AU Park’s streets are entirely residential and lend themselves to playdates with families and long, leisurely walks after dinner. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, perfect for those who wish for a little oasis in the city.
