The commercial corridor along 14th Street NW is undergoing significant revitalization; as of 2005, it is known for both art galleries and live theater. A number of new bars and restaurants have opened on the street as well. This has been assisted by the economic development of the U Street Corridor several blocks north.

Until approximately the year 2000, many of the residents of the blocks east of 16th Street, which nominally divides the Dupont Circle and Logan Circle neighborhoods, identified themselves as living in "Dupont East."

As of 2005, real estate agents now refer to properties as far east as 10th Street as "Logan Circle". 16th Street is a prominent north-south thoroughfare in the northwest quadrant of Washington, D.C.
