The first thing that will strike you about this Maryland community is its pristine planning. Sumner’s wide roads and immaculately landscaped streetscapes give this picture-perfect suburb an upscale feel. Neoclassical homes and stately apartment complexes sit far back from the curb, matched by well-manicured lawns.
Sumner is relatively secluded for a non-gated community. Westmoreland Hills Local Park to the east creates a natural, vibrant boundary that closes the area off from the more active developments near Tenleytown. However, Sumner is less than an hour from Alexandria, VA, so a weekend or daytrip to the city is well within reason.
As of April 2025, the average apartment rent in Sumner is $2,046 for one bedroom, and $2,339 for two bedrooms. Apartment rent in Sumner has increased by 2.8% in the past year.
