Westwood Townhome for Sale

Westwood in Bethesda, Maryland, is a sought-after neighborhood located at the northwest edge of Washington, D.C. This suburban area is known for its proximity to the Nation’s Capital and its inclusion in the top-rated Montgomery County Public Schools, including Wood Acres Elementary, Thomas W. Pyle Middle, and Walt Whitman High. The neighborhood features a mix of Colonial Revival and split-level homes, ranging from 2,500 to over 5,000 square feet, alongside newer contemporary homes, townhouses, and condominiums with modern amenities. Streets are lined with sidewalks, large yards, mature trees, and neighborhood parks, contributing to the area's appeal. Westwood is safer than the national average, making it a practical choice for families. The Capital Crescent Trail, a 7-mile shared-use path, offers scenic views and outdoor activities, while Woodacres Local Park provides sports fields and a playground. Historic Glen Echo Park, with its arts center and the Dentzel Carousel, is a local attraction. Dining options include Woodmont Grille and Lia’s Restaurant, and grocery needs are met by Giant Food and Whole Foods Market. Retail shopping is abundant on Bethesda Row, which also hosts the popular Bethesda Row Arts Festival each September. Transportation options include driving, Metrobuses, and the nearby Friendship Heights Metro station. The ongoing Westbard Square redevelopment project is set to enhance the neighborhood with new retail, dining, and residential options, including a retirement community and shared green spaces. The first phase opened in January 2024, with more amenities like Silver & Sons BBQ and District DableLab art studio expected to open soon.
