Westmoreland Home for Sale

Westmoreland, a suburban neighborhood in Bethesda, Maryland, is strategically located at the boundary of Maryland and Washington, D.C., with the Virginia border just across the Potomac River. This central location makes it convenient for commuting to downtown D.C. and northern Virginia. The neighborhood is known for its classic Colonial architecture, featuring brick center-hall Colonials and Cape Cods, many of which were built in the 1930s and 1950s. These homes, often set on hills with spacious yards, contribute to the area's picturesque, tree-lined streets. Westmoreland Park serves as the community hub, offering tennis and basketball courts, a baseball field, a playground, and access to the Little Falls Stream Hiking Trail and the Capital Crescent Trail. The park also hosts community events organized by the Westmoreland Citizens Association. Nearby schools include Westbrook Elementary School, Westland Middle School, and Bethesda Chevy Chase High School, all of which are highly rated. For shopping and dining, residents often head into Washington, D.C., with nearby options like the Sumner Place shopping center and Millie’s Spring Valley restaurant. Sibley Memorial Hospital, part of Johns Hopkins Medicine, is located just across the state line in the Palisades. While no highways run through Westmoreland, Massachusetts Avenue provides a direct route into Maryland and Washington, D.C. The neighborhood's crime rate is lower than the national average, contributing to its appeal for families and commuters alike.
