Surrounded by nature
Brookmont, a Bethesda neighborhood located along the Potomac River, offers a range of vintage and newer homes with enough hiking and biking trails to fill an outdoor guide. “In Brookmont, you’re surrounded by nature," says Realtor Vincent Hurteau, who’s been doing business in D.C. since 1986. The population is small here, mostly single-family detached homes, so you see the same people walking their dogs, on the playground or at the farmers market. And people live here a long time, often for decades, because they love it.” About 6 miles from Downtown Bethesda, Brookmont’s lush green spaces and nature sites make it a haven for anyone who enjoys the outdoors and suburban living.

From vintage to new
Housing styles range from cottage to colonial and everything in between. “You’ll find vintage homes here built in the 1930s,” Hurteau says. “Sometimes older homes are torn down, and new creations spring up in their place. Sometimes, new builds have large windows to take in the view of the Potomac River, especially in winter.” Curated landscaping designs also add character to the neighborhood, calling to mind the asymmetry of a Japanese garden or suburbia's sprawling, well-manicured lawns. Homebuyers can expect to pay a minimum of $ 1 million for a house in Brookmont when one comes on the market. A renovated colonial could list for as much as $2 million, while a bungalow that needs work might be had for $850,000 — a bargain. Because the community is small, the neighborhood doesn’t always have many homes for sale, so buyers need to move quickly.
