Life along Thoreau Drive
In Woodhaven, the streets are wide and winding, ending in cul-de-sacs and named after famous American poets. The neighborhood is known for its 1930s and 1940s Tudor-style houses, with gable roofs and stone-and-wood exteriors that resemble an old English village. Due to the area’s inside-the-beltway location, residential development has continued, and Woodhaven’s streets are now lined with tasteful Colonial Revival, ranch-style and New Traditional properties. Sidewalks are few and far between, but the well-maintained streets get little traffic, and residents can comfortably walk along the side of the road. Woodhaven’s towering trees create a kaleidoscope of auburn and gold in autumn and an overhead blanket of leafy green in the spring and summer.

Tudor homes mimic English village
“The original Tudor homes – there are about 50 of them – were developed by Philip Dean in the 1930s and 1940s,” says Kevin Koitz, Vice President of Compass, Friendship Heights, who specializes in luxury sales in Washington, D.C. and Montgomery County. “It’s obvious the minute you drive onto Woodhaven Boulevard that Dean modeled the neighborhood after an English Village.” Additions and renovations are met with scrutiny by residents and are typically confined to the back side of the house, out of view from the street. “Woodhaven used to have a strong civic association, but now has a more informal – but active and involved – citizens association,” Koitz explains. “In the past, they have successfully challenged builders who want to tear down some of the original properties.” One of the esteemed 1930s Tudor-style houses with brick-and-wood façade and turret windows lists for around $3 million. A Colonial Revival, ranch-style or split-level, Cape Cod or New Traditional home costs between $1.5 and $2 million, while a few luxury estates with amenities like pools and tennis courts reach higher into the multi-millions.
Woodhaven is prominently known for the high number of tudor-style homes found within.

Country clubs and parks
The Burning Tree Club, an exclusive and all-male membership golf club, covers a portion of the neighborhood close to the Capital Beltway. Thanks to Woodhaven’s proximity to D.C., politicians and power brokers – including President John F. Kennedy and 20th-century publishing titan William Randolph Hearst – have reportedly favored the 18-hole course over the decades. Open from dawn to dusk, nearby Burning Tree Park has soccer fields, a tennis court and a playground for public use. There’s also a community garden, welcoming residents to grow vegetables and flowers in 200-square-foot plots or garden tables.

Neighborhood gatherings
“There are a ton of informal events in Woodhaven,” Koitz says. “Like block parties.” Since 1948, Woodhaven’s children have acted out the story of Christmas every December in the neighborhood Christmas pageant. Koitz says, “It culminates in Santa delivering gifts from a local fire truck.”
Many Woodhaven residents prefer happy hours at Gringos & Mariachis in Woodmont Triangle.
