West Bethesda offers space and nature close to big city attractions
Nestled between Washington to the south and the Potomac River to the west is the quiet community of West Bethesda. Though centrally located, West Bethesda offers the tranquility of beautiful woodland nature and spacious landscapes while still providing easy access to all the amenities of metropolitan life. “One of the outstanding benefits is the outdoor space,” says Realtor Pamela Schiattareggia, who’s sold 6 homes in the area. “It’s also very easy for commuting— Interstate 270 is right there, so you’re not sitting in traffic, waiting forever to get on the right road.” Public transportation is also an option, with several bus stops along Westlake Terrace, Westlake Drive and Democracy Boulevard.
West Bethesda residents can take a day trip to the tranquil forest at Cabin John Regional park.

The community has a mix of brick townhouses and Federal-style homes
West Bethesda consists of two distinct subdivisions, with the northern half being closer to the town center and the southern portion being more rural. Drive along Democracy Boulevard and you’ll see red brick townhouses within grid-style developments. As you drive south on Seven Locks Road, you’ll find swirls of cul-de-sacs featuring spacious Colonial Revivals and Federal style homes. Shrouded in lush greenery and cherry blossoms, these homes have sprawling, manicured lawns and long, winding paved driveways. Prices for the northern townhouses range from $500,000- $900,000, with the average price hovering around the $750,000 mark. As you move south, acreage and prices increase. The price range spans from $1,000,000- $2,000,000, with the average home selling for around $1,300,000.
