Mews-style Developments Are Popular in DC
While gated communities are found throughout the DC suburbs, they are very rare in the District. An alternative to gated communities that can be found in several neighborhoods in DC are mews-style developments. “Mews” is a small development of townhouse-style units clustered together and often gated. It is a British term describing a row of carriage homes below and living quarters above, built around a paved yard or court, or along a street, usually behind large city homes. DC's mews-style developments have proven to be quite popular with listings often selling within days of hitting the market. Mews developments in the District include:
