Community connection in a luxurious Maryland neighborhood

Majestic, comfortable homes define Chevy Chase Park, a well-established Maryland community where residents can still find two of the famous 1790s boundary stones that originally marked the borders of the District of Columbia along Western Avenue. Though the neighborhood is tucked between Bethesda and Washington, D.C., it maintains a vintage, peaceful environment. “It’s a really community-friendly neighborhood. People have block parties, gatherings and community events, and you open your door and see people taking walks, pushing strollers and walking their dogs,” says Lisa Resch, a Realtor with Compass who lives nearby in Chevy Chase, D.C. Neighborhood parks and tree-lined streets insulate the neighborhood from much of the city commotion, though residents aren’t far from the energy of the nation’s capital.

20th century architecture framed by tall oaks

Chevy Chase Park encompasses Martin’s Additions, a small, incorporated village renowned for its centuries-old oak trees and white picket fences. This section of the neighborhood features early 20th-century architecture, like Colonial and Tudor Revivals, farmhouses and bungalows, which tend to be priced between $1.3 million and $2.3 million, depending on size. Outside the village, homebuyers can find mid-century cottages that start around $1.3 million and Colonial Revivals, which start around $2.1 million.

Indulge in authentic French cuisine from La Ferme

Residents often go to Bethesda for an array of vibrant stores and restaurants, but they do have access to a couple of local gems. “There’s a small-scale shopping area on Brookville Road where the neighborhood shops at the Brookville Market, the old school pharmacy, coffee shop and barber — and they have a really robust, popular farmers market on the weekends,” Resch says. Brookville Road is also where locals find La Ferme, an upscale farm-to-table French restaurant that maintains an elevated farmhouse vibe. There’s also Olympia Café, where locals enjoy coffee and sandwiches. Residents stop by Brookville Market to pick up some groceries, but they also have convenient access to supermarkets, as Safeway, Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s are all within 2 miles of the neighborhood. They can also drive 2 miles west to Bethesda Row for a large collection of trendy retailers.

Celebrate Independence Day in Martin’s Additions

Residents are minutes away from the excitement of Downtown Washington, D.C. and Bethesda, but they can also enjoy more lowkey activities close to home. The Village of Martin’s Additions brings the community together for seasonal events, like the 4th of July Celebration, where residents order from food trucks, splash down water slides and listen to live music. In October, kids don their Halloween costumes for a costume parade and Halloween party at Chevy Chase Local Park. The neighborhood also congregates with the town of Chevy Chase — the community welcomes autumn with the fall festival that includes pumpkin painting and live music.

Nearby schools earn A’s

Kids can begin at Rosemary Hills Elementary, which serves grades prekindergarten through second and has an A-minus rating from Niche. In third grade, they can advance to A-rated Chevy Chase Elementary. Students can continue at Silver Creek Middle, which has an A rating, and Bethesda-Chevy Chase High, which earns an A-plus. High school students can begin preparing for college and their future careers by enrolling in the International Baccalaureate program or career pathways.

Relax by the creek at Meadowbrook Local Park

“People love living there because there’s great access to green spaces and neighborhood parks,” Resch says. At Chevy Chase Local Park, kids climb on the playground, shoot baskets at the basketball court or kick a soccer ball around on the fields. Residents head to Meadowbrook Local Park to walk on the paved trails by Rock Creek or play on the tennis courts or ballfields.

Major routes make for simple D.C. commutes

“For commuting, it’s an ideal location because you’re not too far from I-495, Connecticut Avenue and Rock Creek Parkway — the major commuter routes that get people to their jobs downtown quickly,” Resch says. Residents only have to drive about 6 miles southeast to get to Downtown Washington, D.C., and 2 miles west to arrive in Downtown Bethesda. Locals can also access public transportation options, as bus stops operated by the Montgomery County Department of Transportation are scattered throughout the neighborhood, which they can use to link with the closest Metrorail station in Friendship Heights. The CAP Index crime tracking database gives Chevy Chase Park a 1 out of 10 score, with 10 indicating highest crime.
