D.C. suburb with long-term businesses and residents
With its glowing red “Woodmoor” sign and family-run businesses, the Woodmoor Shopping Center has been part of Silver Spring since the 1930s. The small shopping plaza faces a busy intersection and gets enough traffic that a few tenants have operated there for more than half a century. Behind it are the homes of the Woodmoor neighborhood where, similar to the shopping center, residents often stay in the neighborhood for decades, explains Cari Jordan, a Realtor with Go Brent and a Woodmoor resident for 25 years. Those who grow up there and move away often come back to the peaceful residential community. “It’s backed by woods and a river, so it’s a bit of an enclave, and there isn’t much through traffic,” Jordan says. While the Washington, D.C., metro grows at a fast pace, this Maryland neighborhood 3 miles from the district remains home to many familiar faces.
The Watch Pocket in Woodmoor shopping center has been run by a true craftsman since 1970.

The Woodmoor Pastry Shop, The Watch Pocket operate for decades
Some of the names over the storefronts at Woodmoor Shopping Center haven’t changed in more than 50 years. Those include The Woodmoor Pastry Shop and The Watch Pocket, a watch repair shop that opened in 1970. Matt Stohlman runs the store that his father opened 54 years ago. When The Watch Pocket relocated to a bigger space in 1999, the store decided to move to a storefront in the same shopping center so it could stay in the Woodmoor community. Other businesses have moved in more recently, such as Bento Express Japanese restaurant and Starbucks. Wednesday-night trivia and pizzas draw people to The 4 Corners Pub, a local hangout since 1967. The pub is an anchor for the 4 Corners area, a cluster of shops and eateries across the street from Woodmoor. It’s also where residents can pick up groceries at Safeway. Saint Bernadette Catholic Church was established in Woodmoor in the 1940s, and it still celebrates Mass throughout the week.
The Woodmoor Pastry Shop has every sweet you could need for your next party.
Truly a community favorite, The Watch Pocket in Woodmoor where time keeps moving.

Driveway jams at WOODMOORstock
It’s a long-established neighborhood, but one of its marquee events started in 2022. In June, singers, guitarists and drummers play from front porches around the neighborhood in celebration of WOODMOORstock. Homeowners volunteer their porches and driveways as stages for 50 bands that perform for 2,000-plus attendees. Food and drink trucks also set up around the neighborhood, which has its streets blocked to traffic.

Creekside hiking at Northwest Branch Stream Valley Park
Every home is within a mile of Pinecrest Local Park, home to a soccer field, playground and tennis courts. Just east of the neighborhood, trails at Northwest Branch Stream Valley Park follow an offshoot of the Anacostia River. There are 9 miles of loops and paths, varying from gravel trails suitable for hikers to hard-surface trails for bikers and bladers. Even snow doesn’t stop people from using the trails, Jordan says. When locals aren’t outside, they may be catching a performance at Silver Spring Stage, founded in 1968.
Woodmoor's wide, shady streets are the perfect route for your afternoon stroll.
A secluded residential pocket
Woodmoor's development started in the 1930s, and its Cape Cods and Colonial Revivals were primarily built before 1960. Since then, neighborhood trees have matured into leafy timbers, shading many of the small lawns. Sidewalks are uncommon, but joggers and dog walkers still traverse the neighborhood, which is rarely used by cars as a cut-through. Home prices start around $515,000, while one of Woodmoor’s rare new builds can cost as much as $1.1 million.

Accessing Washington, D.C. and Downtown Silver Spring
From the neighborhood, drivers can merge onto Interstate 495, the Beltway that surrounds Washington, D.C. It’s a 9-mile drive to the heart of the nation’s capital, but the trip can take an hour during peak traffic times. Woodmoor borders Colesville Road, which leads 2 miles south to Downtown Silver Spring. Locals can also get downtown using Montgomery County’s RideOn bus service, which stops along Colesville Road. Residents would likely need to drive to reach the Forest Glen Metro station that’s 3 miles away.
Take the Metro bus in Woodmoor down Colesville Rd. to Silver Spring.
While lacking a metro stop of its own, Woodmoor is only 10 minutes from the Forest Glen Station.
