How Prospect Street compares to other Georgetown streets
Prospect vs. quieter streets
Compared with quieter, more tucked-away streets like parts of Volta Place, Prospect feels slightly more visible and, in some stretches, more “on display.” That’s a plus if you want a statement address and don’t mind being on a well-known street. If you prefer very low-key residential energy, a side street may be a better fit.
Prospect vs. O, N, and P Street NW
Streets like O, N, and P offer classic Georgetown architecture and strong appeal, but not every block has the same elevation or potential views you’ll find on sections of Prospect. On the other hand, narrowing to Prospect alone can limit your options. Many buyers keep Prospect as a top priority while remaining open to standout homes on nearby streets.
