distance include the popular District Taco, and Jose Andres’ recently open fast casual veg- etarian destination Beefsteak. Other nearby destinations include the newAmerican Uni- versity Law School, the highly regarded Wilson High School, Wilson Aquatic Center, Fort Reno Park and concert stage, and the Friendship/Tenley Public Library. Named in the late 1700’s for local tavern owner John Ten- nally, Tenleytown surrounds the site of Civil War-era Fort Reno, built on the city’s high- est natural ground at 409 feet
above sea level. By 1900, the last remains of the fort had been replaced by a reservoir, water tower, and a park that features sports fields, play- grounds, tennis, and more. The 1941 opening of Sears & Roebuck at Wisconsin Avenue and Albemarle St. was an im- portant milestone in the neigh- borhood’s growth. The area’s first Hechinger store also was located in Tenleytown; after Sears vacated its store in 1994, Hechinger bought and moved into the property. Hechinger eventually shuttered all of its stores.

UIP joined with Tenleytown Main St. to officially open the neigh- borhood’s newest multifamily residence. “Frequency is our most con- temporary apartment com- munity to date,” said UIP principal Steve Schwat . “The name is derived from its his- tory as a radio station and recording studio for WAMU/ NPR programming, includ- ing the syndicated talk shows hosted by Diane Rehm and Kojo Nnamdi. Situated on one of the highest elevations in the District, Frequency has an unrivaled location within easy walking distance of Metro, American University, Whole foods, Starbucks, Panera, Best Buy, and dozens of other shops and restaurants.” The open-space apartments at Frequency offer luxury plank flooring, custom cabine- try, stainless steel appliances, designer lighting, quartz kitch- en counters, spacious modular closets, large bathrooms, and individually controlled hear- ing and cooling, and ensuite laundry equipment.
