Cozy neighborhood with access to everything DC

Family-Friendly Wooded Golfing Mass Transit Commutes

Sitting west of Chevy Chase and northeast of Downtown Bethesda, West Chevy Chase Heights is ideally located for those who want to be near the shops, restaurants, and entertainment of these areas but have a quieter, tree-filled neighborhood to call home. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Walter Reed Medical Center are directly north of the neighborhood, making West Chevy Chase Heights a great location for commuters. Those working in nearby DC will appreciate having the red line of the Bethesda Metro Station available.

The neighborhood, which developed in the early 1930s, borders the Columbia Country Club and several of the houses are located along the golf course. Residents also enjoy access to the Georgetown Branch Trail, a recreation center with tennis courts, and a wide selection of shops and restaurants along Wisconsin Avenue and Old Georgetown Road.
