McLean Gardens

McLean Gardens is a residential neighborhood in Northwest Washington, DC, bounded by Rodman Street, NW, to the north, Idaho Avenue to the south, Wisconsin Avenue to the east, and 39th Street, NW, to the west.  McLean Gardens is a 43-acre (17 ha) housing development built in 1942 as temporary housing for wartime defense workers on the former estate of newspaper publisher John R. McLean.  In 1980, after a long battle by the tenants, who were able to secure the largest buy-out in DC history by a residents' association, the original 31 red brick apartment buildings converted to condominiums.  In the early 1980s, construction of a rental section began under a different limited partnership, eventually including both townhouses (called "The Village at McLean Gardens") and a nine-story luxury apartment building ("The Towers"). These units were registered as condominiums with the city so that they could be sold at a later date.  That time came in 2006 with the establishment of "Vaughan Place."
