Why Live in Wheaton
About 10 miles north of Washington, D.C., Wheaton brims with commuter routes leading to the city. But with a lively downtown district and one of Montgomery County’s largest parks, the suburb stands out against the nation’s capital and surrounding communities. “Downtown Wheaton doesn’t have a bunch of chain restaurants like a lot of suburbs,” says Sarah Beatty, a Realtor with Samson Properties who has sold several homes in the area. “Most restaurants are locally owned, and the whole community has a very mom-and-pop feel.” Hiking trails, a botanical garden and sports facilities can be found at the 538-acre Wheaton Regional Park. The suburb's 52,000 residents also have easy access to several shopping centers, like the Westfield Wheaton mall. “Because of the park, the mall and all the restaurants downtown, people really only leave Wheaton to go to work,” Beatty says. Most homes in Wheaton were built between the 1950s and ‘70s. Ranch-style houses, split levels and Cape Cod cottages are all common here. The median townhouse price is $525,000, while the median single-family home price is $545,000. Both figures are lower than Montgomery County’s median of $600,000. Homes here typically
