How O Street compares to other Georgetown streets
O Street vs. quieter side streets
Compared with quieter, more tucked-away Georgetown streets, O Street feels slightly more visible and active. This is especially noticeable near north–south corridors. For some buyers, that extra movement adds energy. For others, it simply means a more recognizable and connected block.
O Street vs. Prospect, Volta, N, and P Street NW
Prospect and parts of N and P Streets offer stronger elevation and dramatic views in select areas. By contrast, Volta feels quieter and more tucked away. O Street sits between those extremes. As a result, many buyers keep it in consideration alongside several other streets rather than choosing just one from the start.
