Oakview
Neighborhood in Silver Spring, Maryland
Montgomery County 20903
Midsized, midcentury homes
Housing options in Oakview include moderately sized single-family ranches, split-levels, Cape Cods and colonials. Many homes in this community were built in the ’50s and ’60s and feature simple red-brick facades with beautiful hardwood floors, screened porches, brick patios and fenced backyards. Some homes contain fully finished basements, a bonus on space and bedrooms. “The neighborhood attracts a lot of contractors and landscapers, people who are in the home services business,” Butterfield says. With such convenient access to most of Metro D.C., this observation makes sense. Plus, the average home price is $472,000, less than areas closer to Silver Spring, or neighborhoods next door like Hillandale.

City parks and natural areas
A sunny playground, basketball courts and a softball field can be found at Brookside Park next to Roscoe Nix Elementary. Broadacres Park near another elementary features a circular courtyard surrounded by benches and a pergola. Children can swing or climb the nearby jungle gyms. The park also features two softball fields, walking paths and an open field for soccer. Broadacres adjoins Northwest Branch Stream Valley Park, a natural area that runs the length of the neighborhood, with roughly 8 miles of trails that attract hikers, bikers and equestrians.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
