Welcome to Foxhall
The first Foxhall homes were built back in the mid-1920s as part of a planned community of Tudor-style townhomes styled after those found in the English countryside. The triangular neighborhood is made up of quaint rows of townhomes with brick, stucco facades, chimneys, and beautifully kept yards and gardens.
The private, walkable village is a suburban haven dotted with shops and cafes and is just minutes from downtown businesses, restaurants, nightlife, and more.
