• The Rainbow Lofts is located in the center of the hippest urban neighborhood in DC. Dupont Circle, and its dozens of shops and restaurants, are within a 5-15 minute walk. The new heart of Logan Circle is outside your doorstep, with Whole Foods, CVS, Starbucks, and a dozen restaurants within one block away. Less than a half a block away is 14th Street, with its loft condos and new restaurants in converted warehouses. It isn't New York City, but it is the closest you'll find to the Upper West Side in DC.
