Sumner is a suburban Maryland community 6 miles from Washington
If you want to live the American dream right near the heart of the capital, look no further than Sumner — the community that brings you the best of both city and suburb. It is rare to find spacious homes with suburban amenities so close to the dense, exciting metro area that is Washington. Living in Sumner means grilling out in your backyard, spending a Saturday morning hiking the nearby trails and living on quiet residential streets, all while staying within a 6-mile commute to downtown Washington. If you want the DMV’s most spacious homes with access to the river and all that Washington has to offer, an investment in the Sumner lifestyle is a worthy choice.
Homes include Colonial Revivals with large front yards
“Sumner is the kind of place where you can have it all, you’re right on the D.C. line and you get all the benefit, but still technically live in Maryland,” says Cheryl Leahy, Realtor and leader of The Cheryl Leahy Homes Team with Compass Real Estate. “Many homes in this area have space for a pool or a three-car garage.” The homes around this scenic suburb are mostly multi-floored Colonial Revivals. Some have shutters and others have tall, decorative columns. Every home has large front yards with lush gardens and the bonus of front-row seats to the pink cherry blossoms in spring. Homes range from $1 to $3 million. There are condos in the area. Most cost $550,000 to $1.2 million, depending on size.
Students attend Montgomery County public and private schools
This area is known for its strong education options, making it a desirable place to live. There is the option of Montgomery County Public Schools, which include Bannockburn Elementary and Thomas W. Pyle Middle schools, both of which receive an A from Niche. Walt Whitman High School earns an A-plus and offers the Leadership Academy for Social Justice. Private education options include Little Flower School and L’Enfant International Preschool, a French-immersion Montessori school. Both are unrated by Niche.
Community parks include Little Falls Stream Valley Park
When asked makes what Sumner so special, Leahy says, “You just don’t get this kind of lifestyle anywhere else.” A short walk in this neighborhood grants you an abundance of options, like Little Falls Stream Valley Park. This scenic 160-acre woodland is the perfect spot to get waterfall views on a brisk weekend hike. Glen Mark Neighborhood Park has basketball courts for pick-up games and a playground complete with baby swings.
Washington and Bethesda Row have shops and restaurants nearby
Sumner has proximity to suburban comforts like Safeway and CVS, but the excitement and opportunity of Washington is just a metro ride away. Take the red line train from Tenley Town station into the city for a straightforward commute to Union Station or hop off at the L’Enfant Plaza to spend your weekends in the best art galleries and museums. For dining, you always have the option of sticking close by and picking up Starbucks or takeout from Japanese Fin, or taking the 11-minute drive into Bethesda Row, a shopping center with a downtown feel that has even more to do.
