Attention commuters and working families

The neighborhood of Oakview was designed with a series of long, arching streets and crisscrossing roadways with only a few entry points. Here, sidewalks measure the evenly spaced lawns, driveways and lots of this development, located only 5 miles from Downtown Silver Spring and 12 miles from Washington, D.C. “The neighborhood is really a sectioned off area perfect for commuters,” says Realtor Cole Butterfield with RE/MAX Realty Services. Butterfield lives in Montgomery County where he’s been selling real estate for the past six years. “Oakview is very convenient to the Beltway and New Hampshire Avenue. Homes tend to cost less here than in other Montgomery County neighborhoods.” Add quality schools to the mix, and Oakview stands out as a popular choice for many working families.

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.
