Lewisdale is a residential neighborhood near Takoma Park

The quiet, Takoma Park-adjacent community of Lewisdale is a mostly residential neighborhood surrounded by bustling commercial districts and an extensive trail system perfect for hiking and biking. “It’s not a remarkable neighborhood, but that’s sort of the point,” says local Realtor Penny Chrissomallis of Samson Properties, who has been working in the area for over 20 years. “It’s a low-key bedroom neighborhood with an easy commute to North DC and the Maryland suburbs.” Lewisdale offers those who live here a hard-to-find combination of convenient location, recreational opportunities and ample creature comforts — for many, it’s exactly what they’re looking for in a DC suburb.

Homes include mid-20th-century Cape Cods and Colonial Revivals

Most of the homes in the neighborhood were built during the expansion of DC’s suburbs in the mid-20th century and generally reflect the styles of the period: Cape Cods, ranch-style homes and Colonial Revivals can all be found in the neighborhood, many featuring red brick exteriors. There are a number of newer developments as well, mostly condos and town houses. A modern, 2,000-square-foot town house in Lewisdale typically sells for around $500,000, while a heavily renovated 1,800-square-foot mid-century ranch-style home can sell for upwards of $650,000. Throughout the neighborhood, you’ll find wide streets with plenty of space for parking and small but well-maintained lawns fronted with shade trees.

Sligo Creek Trail and local parks offer outdoor opportunities

While it might not be obvious at first glance, Lewisdale is something of a paradise for runners, walkers and cyclists. “A lot of people don’t realize how many trails there are in the area,” says Chrissomallis. “They’re great for exercise, and a lot of bikers are actually using them to get to work these days.” The Sligo Creek Trail, for example, is over 10 miles long and runs through a number of parks in and around the neighborhood, while also connecting to an ever-expanding network of bike trails that extend throughout the DMV area.

There are a number of quality local parks in the area as well. Sitting beside a local forest, Lewisdale Neighborhood Park’s playground is the perfect spot for a shady play date, while University Hills Duck Pond Park is a favorite with local birders and wildlife watchers.

Commuters rely on cars and the metro to get around
