A peaceful suburb and a bohemian community
Just 5 miles from downtown Bethesda and 4 miles from the Washington, D.C., border, Bannockburn is a quiet residential Maryland neighborhood that offers peaceful suburban streets and a close-knit community. Homeowners enjoy top-rated schools, proximity to some of the area’s most popular recreation amenities, and a lower CAP Index crime score than the national average. According to long-time resident and Bannockburn Civic Association President Mike Zangwill, the residents themselves are a somewhat bohemian group that embraces art, music, and inclusivity. “We have a feeling of tolerance here,” Zangwill says. “It was born into the neighborhood’s fabric from its founding in the 1940s.”

An eclectic mix of housing
Homes in Bannockburn are situated on winding, suburban streets with sidewalks and a lot of mature tree cover. The original homes built in the neighborhood, which go as far back as the late 1930s, were modest sizes, usually about three bedrooms and two bathrooms, in a variety of styles including ramblers, mid-century moderns, Colonial Revivals, and Cape Cods. Prices for an unrenovated home may start at just under $1 million. Over time, several of the original homes have been added on to or completely renovated, creating the eclectic mix house hunters will see today, and many have been completely demolished and rebuilt. Homes like this can fetch $2 million to $3 million or more.
