12 WHERE I MAY 2018 13 IF YOU VISITED WASHINGTON, D.C. A DECADE AGO, your must-hit neighborhoods were probably Georgetown (redbrick sidewalks, boutiques, Kennedy lore) and Capitol Hill (that iconic dome, row houses with charming Victorian architecture). But now, thanks to an inﬂux of development and new residents (often millenni- als), zones that once didn’t have names now buzz with restaurants, nightlife and Instagram-worthy design. Here are three newly hip hamlets ready for their close- ups, plus what to do there.

A sundial from Scotland’s Crossbas- ket Castle, the ancestral home of the Peter family, anchors the geo- metric knot garden where heirloom roses perfume the air. A pair of matching greyhound statues graces the ajacent bowling green, and closer to the manse, English boxwood (some of it original) grows in an elegant emerald ellipse. Nearby is Dumbarton Oaks, a Harvard museum and botanical study center once the home of Mildred and Robert Woods Bliss.
