Foxhall is a neighborhood in Washington, D.C., bordered by Reservoir Road on the north side and Foxhall Road on the west and south sides. Glover-Archibold Park makes up the eastern border. The first homes were constructed along Reservoir Road and Greenwich Park Way in the mid-1920s. By the end of December, 1927, some 150 homes had been erected, and the community given the name of Foxhall Village.

Foxhall is mostly residential and is one of the most expensive neighborhoods in the city to live in. The area has been home to some of D.C.'s most elite residents including, at one point, Duncan Phillips of The Phillips Collection notoriety.
