Bingo. I don't get why agents feel they need to lie about this sort of thing. It's an obvious lie, and Cathedral Heights is also a very attractive area.

Public records states it is in Cleveland Park.

But it's not in the historic district which IS the heart of Cleveland Park. Bad use of hyperbole. But maybe buyers won't care if it means they aren't beholden to the restrictions of the historic district.

Who cares.

Lying to buyers is bad?

Completely does not matter in this case. Anyone who wants to buy the house will look on a map or, gee, maybe go to the house and see it in person, and they'll realize it's not in Cleveland Park. Either they won't want to buy the house anymore, or they will. Worst case for the agent, they'll start to question all the other stuff in the listing. But why do the rest of us care about this at all?

Huh? There is no "public record" assigning houses in DC to specific neighborhoods. The closest we have are historic districts, and this definitely isn't in the Cleveland Park district.

Yes there is such a database. Look up this address in the office of tax and revenue real property database and it lists the neighborhood at Cleveland Park

According to the Rosedale map of who is Cleveland Park-y enough to join the dog membership waitlist, 38th St is Cleveland Park. But this house is a block south of the boundary (they cut it off at Woodley Rd).

The DC OTR "neighborhoods" aren't residential neighborhoods. They're geographic units for tax analysis. Ward Circle is in the same OTR "neighborhood," and that's obviously not Cleveland Park.

Lies that buyers should spot are still bad?

Right? Cathedral Heights is a lot nicer than Cleveland Park.

A real estate agent isn’t exactly truthful about something??? I’m shocked! Simply shocked.

They list whatever is on the property record. Ours DC record says Wakefield and no one has ever hear of it, but that is what the listing said when we bought the house.

They list the most desirable neighborhood that they can get away with.

Rosedale is so pretentious! Also I can’t believe they cut the Kennedy Warren out of their definition of Cleveland Park.

Cleveland Park’s heart is not necessarily in Cleveland Park.

I know someone that left their heart in San Francisco, for example.

That neighborhood has always been Cleveland Park, always, and still is. The developers of the new shopping area have created a new name for the area, so it doesn't get confused with the dated, horrible area of Cleveland Park around CT avenue, but the whole area is Cleveland Park and always has been. And honestly, it's better in many ways than closer to CT avenue, which is such a dump now. It's proximity to Mass Ave makes the best bus line in the city convenient.

Everyone has heard of Wakefield. People who live there say they live in CP because it sounds more elitist. But it's Wakefield.

As if they get to define neighborhoods in the first place!
