A serene retreat for active adults in Silver Spring
Creekside, completed in 2006, is a six-story condominium building designed for residents aged 55 and over. Located in the Leisure World community of Silver Spring, Maryland, this 195-unit complex offers a blend of comfort and convenience. The building's design emphasizes spacious living areas and scenic views, with many units featuring enclosed sun porches that overlook the surrounding wooded landscape. Creekside stands out as one of the newer additions to Leisure World, providing modern amenities while maintaining the community's commitment to active adult living.
Spacious layouts with premium finishes and panoramic views
Creekside offers a variety of floor plans to suit different lifestyles, ranging from cozy two-bedroom units to expansive three-bedroom layouts. The smallest units start at 1,218 square feet, while the largest stretch to an impressive 3,077 square feet. Two-bedroom configurations, priced between $274,900 and $505,000, feature two full bathrooms and range from 1,218 to 1,780 square feet. For those requiring more space, three-bedroom units span from 1,721 to 3,077 square feet and include either two full bathrooms or two and a half baths.
Each residence boasts 9-foot ceilings, creating an airy atmosphere throughout. Many units feature hardwood floors in the living areas and kitchens, adding a touch of elegance. The kitchens are designed with the home chef in mind, offering granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and ample cabinet space. Some units include a separate pantry with pull-out drawers for added convenience.
A standout feature in many Creekside homes is the enclosed sun porch or balcony, accessible from multiple rooms and providing a perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee or evening relaxation while taking in the treed views. Primary bedrooms often include walk-in closets with custom organizers, while some units boast luxurious additions like Kohler whirlpool soaking tubs in the en-suite bathrooms.
For added convenience, each unit includes in-unit laundry facilities, often in a separate laundry room with additional storage space. Many residences come with assigned garage parking and a storage unit, adding to the overall value and convenience of living at Creekside.
Monthly HOA fees range from $700 to $1,000, covering a comprehensive list of services and amenities. These include bus service, cable TV, common area maintenance, exterior building maintenance, lawn care, management, pool access, road maintenance, security gate operations, sewer, trash removal, and water. This all-inclusive fee structure allows residents to enjoy a worry-free lifestyle in their Creekside home.
Resort-inspired amenities fostering an active and social lifestyle
Creekside offers an impressive array of amenities designed to enhance the active adult lifestyle. The building features both indoor and outdoor pools, perfect for year-round swimming and water aerobics. A state-of-the-art fitness center equipped with modern exercise machines caters to various fitness levels and preferences.
For those who enjoy racquet sports, tennis and pickleball courts are available on the premises. Golf enthusiasts will appreciate the 18-hole golf course, a centerpiece of the Leisure World community. Walking trails meander through the beautifully landscaped grounds, providing opportunities for leisurely strolls or brisk walks.
The building's social spaces are equally impressive. Multiple clubhouses serve as hubs for community gatherings and events. A party room, recently renovated, offers a perfect venue for resident-organized functions. The lobby and hallways have also undergone recent updates, maintaining a fresh and welcoming atmosphere throughout the building.
Creekside takes pride in its unique offerings, such as a ceramics studio, woodworking shop, and art studio, catering to creative pursuits. A computer center is available for residents who need access to technology or wish to enhance their digital skills.
The building prioritizes convenience and security with its 24-hour gated entry and on-site security personnel. A shuttle service operates within the community and to nearby shopping areas, ensuring residents can easily access local amenities even without personal transportation.
One standout feature is the guest suite available for rent, allowing residents to comfortably host out-of-town visitors without compromising their personal space. This thoughtful addition exemplifies Creekside's commitment to fostering a welcoming environment for both residents and their guests.
Practical amenities include garage parking and individual storage rooms, addressing residents' needs for additional space and secure vehicle storage. The presence of on-site laundry facilities supplements the in-unit washers and dryers, offering flexibility for larger laundry tasks.
Health and wellness are prioritized with the inclusion of an on-site medical and dental center, providing convenient access to healthcare services. This feature, combined with the MedStar Health Medical Center within Leisure World, ensures that residents' health needs are comprehensively addressed.
A tranquil enclave with easy access to urban conveniences
Creekside is situated in the Leisure World community, a peaceful suburban area that strikes a balance between natural beauty and urban accessibility. The community is known for its park-like setting with manicured gardens and tree-lined streets, creating a serene atmosphere for residents.
Within the Leisure World complex, residents have access to a variety of dining options. Three on-site restaurants cater to different tastes and occasions, from casual cafes to more upscale dining experiences. A cocktail lounge provides a sophisticated setting for evening socializing, while a theater offers entertainment without leaving the community.
For daily necessities, the Leisure World Plaza, located just outside the main gates, houses a Giant Food Store. This conveniently placed supermarket ensures that residents can easily stock up on groceries and household items. The plaza also includes other essential services, making it a one-stop destination for many everyday needs.
Venturing slightly further afield, residents will find a diverse array of dining and shopping options. The Big Greek Cafe, located about a mile and a half away, offers hearty Greek fare in a relaxed setting. For those craving Asian cuisine, Pho Nom Nom, approximately 6 miles from Creekside, serves up delicious Vietnamese dishes in a light-filled space.
Shopping enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to several retail centers. Westfield Wheaton, about 6 miles away, is an indoor mall featuring a wide variety of stores and dining options, as well as a children's play area. For those who prefer open-air shopping, the Montrose Crossing Shopping Center, also around 6 miles from Creekside, offers a mix of national retailers and local businesses.
Nature lovers will find plenty to explore in the surrounding area. The East Norbeck Local Park, just 3 miles away, provides a nearby green space for outdoor recreation. For those willing to venture a bit further, the Olney Manor Regional Park, about 3.5 miles from Creekside, offers additional amenities including baseball fields, volleyball courts, and a skate park.
The neighborhood surrounding Creekside is served by several well-regarded schools. Flower Valley Elementary School, rated A by Niche, is about 3.5 miles away. For middle school students, Earle B. Wood Middle School, with a Niche rating of A-, is located approximately 4.5 miles from the community. High school students typically attend Rockville High School, which also boasts an A rating from Niche and is situated about 5 miles from Creekside.
Strategic location with diverse transportation options
While Creekside's location primarily caters to those with personal vehicles, it does offer some public transportation options for residents looking to explore the wider area. The nearest bus stop, located at Wintergate Dr & Copper Mountain Terrace, is about 3.5 miles away and is served by the 51-Glenmont-Norbeck P&R line. This provides a connection to other parts of Montgomery County.
For those needing to travel further, the Glenmont Metro Station is approximately 5 miles from Creekside. This Red Line station offers direct access to downtown Washington D.C., making it possible for residents to enjoy the capital's amenities or maintain connections with the city.
The community's location also provides convenient access to major roadways. The Inter-County Connector (ICC) Route 200 is just a short drive away, offering quick connections to other parts of Montgomery County and beyond. This strategic positioning allows for relatively easy commutes to employment centers in the region.
For air travel, residents have multiple options. Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport is about 22 miles away, or roughly a 45-minute drive. Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport and Washington Dulles International Airport are both approximately 33-34 miles from Creekside, each reachable in about 45-55 minutes by car.
Within the Leisure World community itself, a shuttle service operates regularly. This service not only circulates within the community but also provides transportation to the nearby Leisure World Plaza, ensuring that residents without personal vehicles can still easily access local shopping and services.
While the area's low Walk Score suggests that most errands require a car, the community's internal shuttle service and the proximity of essential services within Leisure World itself help mitigate this to some extent. The somewhat bikeable nature of the area, as indicated by the Bike Score, suggests that some residents might find cycling a viable option for short trips, particularly within the Leisure World community.
Overall, while personal vehicles remain the primary mode of transportation for most Creekside residents, the availability of public transit options, shuttle services, and proximity to major roadways ensure that residents can easily navigate both their immediate surroundings and the greater Washington D.C. metropolitan area.
