Northwest D.C. community with urban and suburban elements
Drivers know when they've crossed from Maryland into D.C. when they see Chevy Chase Circle, a roundabout with a restored fountain and greenery marking the threshold between Chevy Chase's Maryland and D.C. sides. Connecticut Avenue, which juts out from the traffic roundabout, is lined with local businesses, restaurants and apartments, but the rest of the Chevy Chase, D.C., neighborhood feels very suburban, with dense trees lining quiet streets. Lisa Resch, Senior Vice President of Compass Real Estate and Chevy Chase resident since 1997, describes falling in love with her house and the neighborhood. "[My husband and I] were going to tour another home, we got lost and turned around, and there was this house with a front porch, a huge yard, and you could tell it had a fireplace. You could see kids playing tennis on the street, and there were sidewalks and mature trees. We loved it, and we brought our house back to life," she says. "We've loved being part of this community."

Shopping and dining along Connecticut Avenue
Connecticut Avenue between Chevy Chase Circle and Military Road is Chevy Chase's main thoroughfare, and its local shops and restaurants are within walking distance for most residents. "It's vibrant during the daytime. I could be there at 11 a.m. on a Wednesday, and there are people picking up their dry cleaning, working from a coffee shop, or walking around," says Rachel Mowery, Main Street manager at Chevy Chase Main Street. "The small businesses really make the community what it is." Child's Play Toys & Books, Happy Go bikes and Chevy Chase Stationary are among these locally owned shops. For fine dining, Mowery recommends Opal, a contemporary restaurant that sources ingredients locally. "They've been on the Michelin watchlist for a couple of years," she says. Other options include Macon Bistro & Larder, serving American Southern and French fusion dishes, and Rome Pizza & Sub, a more relaxed Italian joint. And though businesses have come and gone over the years, the hundred-year-old Avalon Theater and Chevy Chase Arcade serve as landmarks. "They're the staying features along the corridor on Connecticut Avenue," Mowery says. For groceries, locals can swing by Safeway on Connecticut Avenue or pick up specialty goodies and prepared foods at Broad Branch Market, off Broad Branch Road.
Magruder’s Market is one of the many grocery store options available to Chevy Chase residents.

Chevy Chase community groups organize events
"We get a wide spectrum of people and experiences, and we're trying to create events that pull everybody in," Mowery says. One of the events that Main Street Chevy Chase hosts is First Fridays, which features different live music performances, small business partnerships, and art and yoga classes. "For our July First Friday, there's a swing dance group, New Columbia Swing, doing a swing dance lesson and demonstration, and our toy store in the neighborhood is doing a kids' dance party with family-friendly music and a bubble machine," Mowery says. Each September is Chevy Chase D.C. Day, featuring live music and exhibits from local artists, vendors and displays from local businesses. This year, Mowery explains, Chevy Chase Main Street is organizing a "Chaseburger in Paradise" tasting for Chevy Chase Day, where residents sample burgers from local restaurants and vote on their favorite. "We have some of the best New American restaurants in the city," she says. Another community group, Historic Chevy Chase D.C., has helped spearhead efforts to preserve the neighborhood's history, including educating the community about Chevy Chase's exclusionary racial history, adding plaques to historic homes and offering historic walking tours of the community. "They've done two [historic walking tours] this past spring. It was a rainy day, and they still had 20 people come out, and 25 people came out for the makeup date," Mowery says.

Tudors, Cape Cods and Colonials on shaded streets
"There's green space incorporated into the community," Mowery says. "The library and community center have heritage trees, great shade, and beautiful foliage in the spring and fall." Mature trees also offer shade along the neighborhood's residential streets, where homes feature an eclectic mix of bungalows, Tudors, Cape Cod and Colonial Revivals built in the early- to mid-1900s. Many of these homes date back to Chevy Chase's original development as a streetcar suburb by Francis Griffith Newlands and Fulton Gordan from around 1907 to 1918. Neighbors walk their dogs or exercise along the area's sidewalks, and cars usually park on the street, as most homes do not have driveways or garages. Homeowners carefully maintain and renovate their homes; trimmed landscaping and freshly painted exteriors lead to interiors with redone bathrooms and kitchens with modern finishes. These homes most commonly cost between $1 and $2 million. Condos, apartments and the occasional townhouse can be found along Connecticut Avenue. A two-bedroom condo unit typically runs between $600,000 and $800,000.
Many homes in Chevy Chase sit a little bit above street level, offering residents privacy.

Highly rated public D.C. schools and elite private schools
Public school students typically begin at Lafayette Elementary School, which earns an A-minus from Niche. Older students continue to Alice Deal Middle School and Jackson-Reed High School, which both earn A's. Students at Jackson-Reed study in small learning communities, where they can focus on subjects such as audio-video production, finance, hospitality and tourism, and graphic design. Students may also attend nearby private schools such as the A-plus-rated K-12 Georgetown Day School, which has taught the children of many notable government officials, including Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Justice Ketanji Thurgood Marshall. Sidwell Friends School is also just south of Chevy Chase, earning an A-plus from Niche and attended by the children of politicians including Joe Biden, Barack Obama and Richard Nixon. Private, A-plus-rated St. John's College High School and A-minus-rated Blessed Sacrament Elementary School are also in the neighborhood.

Rock Creek Park and Lafayette-Pointer Park and Recreation Center
Rock Creek Park spans nearly 1,800 acres and borders Chevy Chase D.C. on the east. This national park has 32 miles of hiking paths through wooded areas and along the creek, as well as designated biking and horseback riding trails. The park is also home to Rock Creek Park Golf Course, a tennis center with 25 outdoor and five indoor courts, and Rock Creek Nature Center and Planetarium. Behind Lafayette Elementary School is Lafayette-Pointer Park and Recreation Center. The area has a splash pad for kids, a baseball field and a playground. The park was renovated and renamed Lafayette-Pointer Park from Lafayette Park in 2021 to recognize Captain John Pointer, an accomplished, formerly enslaved man whose descendants lived on the land. The government took this family's land via eminent domain in 1928 to build the park and school for White children. Just south of the neighborhood, Fort Reno Park marks the highest point in D.C. and has trails, baseball fields and tennis courts.
Rock Creek Park is a popular place for Chevy Chase residents to run, hike, and bike.

Commuting from Chevy Chase to downtown D.C.
Chevy Chase is split by the D.C.-Maryland border, with Chevy Chase, D.C., inside the District and Chevy Chase, MD, operating independently as a town and census-designated place in Maryland. The streetcar lines along Connecticut Avenue that transported workers downtown in the early-1900s no longer operate, but Connecticut Avenue is still a major route for drivers going into the city. The road takes commuters the 5 miles southeast from Chevy Chase D.C. to the National Mall. Residents on the southern end of Chevy Chase are less than 1 mile from the Tenleytown-AU Meto station (on the Red Line), though homes in the northern end are more than 2 miles from the station. WMATA buses service routes along Connecticut and Nebraska avenues. Some commuters also choose to bike: "We have some people who get on Beach Drive and bike all the way in [to downtown D.C.]," Resch says. She also explains that groups like the Washington Area Bicyclist Association (WABA) are pushing for bike lanes along Connecticut Avenue. The neighborhood is about 3 miles northeast of Sibley Memorial Hospital and 9 miles north of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. Chevy Chase has a CAP Index crime score of 2, indicating a lower crime risk than the national average of 4.
