The Palisades, or simply Palisades,[1] is a neighborhood in Washington, D.C., along the Potomac River, running roughly from the edge of the Georgetown University campus (at Foxhall Road) to the D.C.-Maryland boundary (near Dalecarlia Treatment Plant).
MacArthur Boulevard (once called Conduit Road) is the main thoroughfare. The Palisades also includes the sub-neighborhood of Potomac Heights, which is bounded by MacArthur, Loughboro Road at the north end, Arizona Avenue at the south end, and the Potomac River.
