Lively suburb in North Bethesda
Wildwood Manor is a flourishing neighborhood in North Bethesda, lined with trees and stately homes, where no fences set the borders between backyards, as it's normal for neighbors to socialize and lounge in the open space. This community spirit is also supported by the annual events organized by the Wildwood Estates Homeowners’ Association. Residents here may prefer the spacious, suburban atmosphere but are still well within reach of Bethesda’s retail and transit options; as Realtor Cheryl Leahy with Compass Real Estate says, “The neighborhood’s walkability is a huge draw. You can walk to the metro, to shops and to grab an ice cream cone.”
Wildwood Shopping Center in the heart of Wildwood Manor is quite the hang on a Friday afternoon.
You will find many split level homes nestled perfectly on a hill in Wildwood Manor.

Walk to Wildwood Shopping Center, or drive to Montgomery Mall and Bethesda Row
Locals can take a 10-minute walk west along Grosvenor Avenue to hit Wildwood Shopping Center, a collection of trendy shops and restaurants, like Balducci’s Food Lover’s Market for a selection of gourmet groceries, from locally sourced produce to fresh fish. Leahy recommends Bethesda Bagels, saying that for residents, “You’ll know half of the people in line,” there’s also Sarah’s Handmade Ice Cream and Treats, serving classic or seasonal flavors made from natural, locally sourced ingredients. “It is the place to go for ice cream,” Leahy says. Wildwood Shopping Center also offers Chopt, a fast-casual salad bar. Less than 4 miles south along Old Georgetown Road is Downtown Bethesda’s shopping center, Bethesda Row. Residents can browse through brand-name retailers like Williams Sonoma, lululemon and an Apple Store, among many others. And 2 miles west is Montgomery Mall with an AMC movie theater, Macy’s and Nordstrom for further options.

Midcentury staple homes with Contemporary options built in the last decade
Wildwood Manor was established in the 1950s, with wide sidewalks, pocket parks and large, well-landscaped lawns. “The lots here are between 8,000 and 12,000 square feet, which is pretty big for Bethesda,” Leahy says. She also notes that the community’s single-family homes, in styles such as colonial-revival, split-level and ranch, typically start around $800,000 for late 1950s four-bedroom brick ramblers and 1960s split-levels, and anything from $1.5 million to $2.2 million for Contemporary and Craftsman styles built in the last ten years. The open-plan layout of the neighborhood places two houses next to one another on each street, and the lack of backyard fences has brought neighbors closer together. It is common for residents to set up lawn chairs and chat in the evenings or to watch kids run and play between houses.
You'll even find a few victorian style homes scattered throughout Wildwood Manor.

Access to the Bethesda Trolley Trail and Fleming Local Park
Wildwood Manor is connected to the Bethesda Trolley Trail, a 4-mile paved rail trail that links Bethesda to North Bethesda. Kids can run around the playground at Stratton Local Park, which offers several baseball and soccer fields and basketball and tennis courts. Fleming Local Park is smaller but also features tennis courts, baseball fields, a playground and a picnic shelter. “In the summer months, the community pool is the epicenter of fun,” Leahy says. “Memberships are available, and the pool offers a competitive swim team.”
The Bethesda Trolly Trail starts just outside of Fleming Park in Wildwood Manor.
Many locals use the fields at Fleming Local Park to run lacrosse drills.

Holiday events put on by Wildwood Estates HOA
The Wildwood Estates Homeowners’ Association manages neighborhood needs like tree management and planning out remodels. They also put on annual events to bolster community engagement. It’s normal to watch the kids waving their flags in the annual Fourth of July parade and pass out candy on Halloween night. “There’s such a big turnout for trick-or-treating that people run out of candy bars,” Leahy says.
College prep courses in nearby Montgomery County Public Schools
Montgomery County Public Schools serve the neighborhood, and students here will attend Ashburton Elementary School and North Bethesda High, both holding overall A-ratings from Niche, and Walter Johnson High, with an A-plus.

Metro and Capitol Beltway access minutes away
Certain government employers are near Wildwood Manor for quick commutes. “People even bike to work at the National Institutes of Health,” Leahy says. “It’s only about a mile away.” There’s also the esteemed Walter Reed Army Medical Center located next to the NIH headquarters, for military medical professionals. A drive from home to Downtown is about 10 miles along Connecticut Avenue NW, but traffic can get dense in the early mornings and evenings. Commuters can also head to the Medical Center metro station, 3 miles south for Red Line access through the greater D.C. area.
The Grosvenor-Strathmore Metro Stop is located just a few minutes north of Wildwood Manor.
While lacking a metro stop of its own, many Wildwood Manor residents bike to the Bethesda Metro.
