Most go to Mt. Washington for the views and take in the sweeping panorama of our glittering downtown skyline in the embrace of the mighty rivers. USA Today named it one of the 10 most beautiful views in America. But Mt. Washington is so much more than a scenic view. More than 8,000 people live in this eclectic and diverse neighborhood, a community of contrasts where million dollar mansions and modern condos are only blocks from single family dwellings, red bricks and row homes that have been in families for generations.
