A suburb buffered by Rock Creek greenery
The Maryland community of Rock Creek Village hugs one of the Washington, D.C., metro’s most important natural features: Rock Creek. The 32-mile creek winds along the west side of the Montgomery County neighborhood on its way to the nation’s capital, with woodlands surrounding the water. Rock Creek Village is a cluster of subdivisions built in the 1960s, but the developers retained significant amounts of greenery and trees. Streets often end in cul-de-sacs with trees or gardens in the center. Roadside trees have matured over five-plus decades into broad canopies. The landscape isn’t rural by any means, but it’s plenty natural for Sue Cohen, who operates first-edition book seller Bren-Books.com from her home in the neighborhood. “I grew up in an apartment in the Bronx, and the only bit of greenery had a wrought iron fence to keep us from stepping out onto it,” she says. “We only have a third of an acre here. I joke that we’re going to lose mailmen because it’s a jungle outside.” Cohen has lived in the neighborhood for more than 40 years, and one neighbor on her street has lived there since his house was built more than 50 years ago. “[When we moved to the area], we picked a place where we knew we would stay,” explains Cohen. “There has not been that much turnover over the years.”
The Rock Creek Village neighborhood offers many parks and trails to get out and exercise.
You can even catch some views of the creek along the Rock Creek Trail in Aspen Hill Local Park,

Rock Creek trail connects to Washington, D.C.
Alongside Rock Creek is Aspen Hill Local Park, where residents can play on soccer and baseball fields. However, the park is most popular because it’s an access point to the Rock Creek Hiker-Biker Trail. Walkers, joggers and cyclists can travel the 19-mile paved path north to Rock Creek Regional Park or south to Washington, D.C., with some even using the trail to commute to work. On the north side of Rock Creek Village, Bauer Drive Community Recreation Center welcomes kids and adults to games of basketball, pickleball and Ultimate Frisbee. In the summer, some residents pay to join Manor Woods Swim Club. The pool hosts youth swimming and diving teams that compete in a countywide league. Cohen recalls her summers centering around the pool for a dozen years when her kids were growing up. “Everyone was a pool rat from the day after Memorial Day when they were forced into the freezing water all the way until the county championships.”

Local restaurants at Rock Creek Shopping Center
The neighborhood’s commercial area is confined to Rock Creek Village Center on the north side. It contains more than five local restaurants. Molly Carter, a Realtor at Long & Foster Real Estate who has lived in Montgomery County for 14 years, recommends Creek Lodge Bar & Grill, where customers dine on American fare alongside taxidermized bears and wolves. Locals can do basic shopping at the retail center, which has a Safeway grocery store and a CVS pharmacy. Two more shopping centers are just over a mile away in Aspen Hill, where shoppers can stop at Kohl’s and Michaels or get a Vietnamese meal at Pho An & Grill. Also in Aspen Hill is Patient First, a clinic for primary and urgent care. There’s a variety of houses of worship nearby; nine Christian churches and three synagogues hold services within 2 miles of the neighborhood.

Established midcentury subdivisions
Multiple mature subdivisions make up Rock Creek Village, with ranch homes and Colonial Revivals along the meandering streets. Buyers can find four-bedroom houses in the mid-$500,000s, with six-bedroom homes selling in the low $800,000s. Most homes come with moderate-sized yards, but there are small condo buildings for residents who want a smaller property at a lower price point. Condo prices vary from $200,000 to $250,000. There’s less than a month of inventory in the neighborhood, and when homes do hit the market they’re snatched away almost immediately, Cohen says. “Nothing here lasts a week.”
