American University Park

American University Park is a neighborhood of Washington, DC, named for the American University.  AU Park, as it is often abbreviated, is situated against the Maryland border in the Northwest quadrant, bounded by Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Nebraska, and Western Avenues.  Tenleytown and Friendship Heights lie to the east, Embassy Park to the southeast, and Spring Valley—the actual home of the university's main campus—to the southwest.

AU Park includes some of the greatest elevations in the city and is close to the District's highest point in neighboring Tenleytown at 429 feet (the city's lowest point, Potomac River is 1 ft. above sea level).

Developed in the 1920's, the neighborhood consists of primarily single-family homes.  A wide variety of architectural styles are present, and most homes have been modified or expanded since the 1930's.  Although one of Washington's first tracts developed with the automobile in mind, the approximately 2,700 homes are closely spaced and feature porches or stoops.

Friendship Park, often called Turtle Park, serves as a center for community activity.  Neighborhood landmarks include American University's Washington College of Law and Katzen Arts Center, the chancery of the diplomatic mission of Japan, and the former embassy of Sweden, and it was long popular among the diplomatic community.
