Mount Washington offers what USA Today called the most beautiful view in America. Rising 400 feet above the confluence of three rivers, this hilltop neighborhood delivers panoramic vistas of the downtown skyline, bridges, and river valleys. But Mount Washington is more than a lookout. Historic inclines, fine dining, hiking trails, and quiet residential character make it a full destination.
