Luxury Living in Chevy Chase Lake's Newest Addition
The Ritz-Carlton Residences, completed in 2022, stands as a testament to modern luxury in the burgeoning Chevy Chase Lake development. This six-story condominium building houses 65 meticulously crafted units, offering residents an unparalleled living experience. Situated in a prime location between Bethesda and Silver Spring, the Ritz-Carlton Residences occupies land once home to the historic Chevy Chase Lake Amusement Park, a popular streetcar destination known for its dancing, boating, and merry-go-round. Today, this prestigious address combines the area's rich history with contemporary elegance, providing a sophisticated haven for discerning homeowners.
Spacious Layouts with High-End Finishes
The Ritz-Carlton Residences offers a range of luxurious living spaces, from one-bedroom units to expansive three-bedroom homes. One-bedroom layouts span from 1,107 to 1,346 square feet, featuring 1.5 to 2 bathrooms and commanding prices around $1,220,000. Two-bedroom units, ranging from 1,344 to 2,200 square feet with 2 to 2.5 bathrooms, are priced between $1,232,400 and $2,276,900. The largest offerings are the three-bedroom residences, approximately 2,000 square feet with 3 bathrooms, available for around $2,200,000.
Each residence showcases meticulous attention to detail and premium finishes. Wide plank white oak floors run throughout, complemented by recessed LED lighting and elegant tray ceilings in the bedrooms. Gourmet kitchens feature Italian cabinetry and top-of-the-line Thermador or Bosch appliance packages. Expansive windows and doors flood the open-concept living areas with natural light, while many units boast private balconies or terraces overlooking the surrounding greenery.
Primary suites are a true retreat, with custom-designed walk-in closets and spa-inspired en-suite bathrooms. These luxurious bathrooms showcase floor-to-ceiling marble, deep soaking tubs, frameless glass showers, and separate water closets. Secondary bedrooms are equally well-appointed, often with their own en-suite bathrooms and custom closet systems.
Monthly HOA fees range from $1,800 to $2,900, covering common area maintenance, gas, insurance, trash, sewer, water, and high-speed internet access throughout the building. This comprehensive fee structure ensures residents can fully enjoy the building's amenities and services without additional concerns.

A Vibrant Community with Urban Conveniences
The Ritz-Carlton Residences is at the heart of the evolving Chevy Chase Lake neighborhood, a community that blends suburban tranquility with urban amenities. The development is anchored by a town square concept, creating a self-contained ecosystem of retail, dining, and residential spaces.
At the center of this burgeoning community is the newly opened Amazon Fresh grocery store, offering residents a convenient option for daily essentials and gourmet items. The ground floor of the development houses a variety of retail spaces, including a pharmacy and a wine bar, with more shops and restaurants slated to open in the near future.
For those seeking culinary variety, Manoli Canoli, located steps from the residences, serves a delightful fusion of Greek and Italian cuisine. The restaurant not only offers dishes like pork souvlaki and eggplant parmesan but also sells its own brand of olive oil. Residents craving farm-fresh produce can visit Norman's Farm and Market Stand on nearby Jones Mill Road, which functions as a daily farmers market.
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to several parks and green spaces. North Chevy Chase Park, just a 15-minute walk away, offers a range of recreational facilities including soccer and baseball fields, basketball and tennis courts, and a shaded playground. The Audubon Naturalist Society's Woodend Nature Sanctuary, a mere 20-minute walk from the residences, provides walking trails and a nature center for those seeking a serene escape.
For a more extensive shopping experience, Bethesda Row is about a 5-minute drive away. This celebrated, upscale outdoor mall features a variety of trendy retail shops, restaurants, and a movie theater. The Collection at Chevy Chase, another high-end shopping destination, is approximately a 5-minute drive from the residences.
The neighborhood is also home to excellent educational options. North Chevy Chase Elementary School, rated 'A' by Niche, is within walking distance. Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School, boasting an A+ rating from Niche and an 8/10 from GreatSchools, is just a short 5-minute drive away.
Strategic Location with Growing Transit Options
The Ritz-Carlton Residences enjoys a prime location that balances accessibility with suburban serenity. While the immediate area around the building offers some walkable amenities, residents typically rely on personal vehicles for most daily activities.
For those commuting to Washington D.C. or other parts of the metropolitan area, the Capital Beltway (Interstate 495) is less than a mile away, providing quick access to major regional highways. This proximity to the Beltway also facilitates easy travel to nearby business centers and attractions.
Public transportation options are set to expand significantly in the coming years. The future Purple Line, a 16-mile light rail project, will have a stop at Chevy Chase Lake, connecting the neighborhood directly to other parts of Montgomery and Prince George's Counties. This addition, projected for completion around late 2027, will greatly enhance the area's transit accessibility.
For current public transit needs, the Bethesda Metrorail station, served by the Red Line, is about a 5-minute drive or 30-minute walk from the residences. This provides a direct link to downtown Washington D.C. and other key areas of the metropolitan region. Additionally, the Kensington MARC station, offering service on the Brunswick Line, is approximately a 5-minute drive away, providing another option for commuters heading to Washington D.C. or points north.
Air travelers have multiple options within reasonable driving distance. Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport is about a 25-minute drive, while both Washington Dulles International Airport and Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport can be reached in approximately 45 minutes by car.
As the Chevy Chase Lake development continues to grow and the Purple Line nears completion, the neighborhood's transit-oriented character is expected to evolve, potentially reducing reliance on personal vehicles and enhancing the overall accessibility of the area.
