Picturesque homes with quick access to D.C.

Suburban Landscape Park-Like River Commuter

The Bethesda neighborhood of Westwood sits just off the shores of the Potomac, a mere 6.5 miles from Downtown Washington D.C. Close your eyes and picture an American suburb and you’ll probably conjure up something close to Westwood. Classical Revival homes sit just off the tree-lined streets, with well-maintained parks dotting the landscape.

Westwood is a perfect location for those who work in D.C. There are a few grocery stores in the immediate area, and the Kenwood Golf & Country Club is just to the east over River Road. Top-rated schools serve the area, and the nearby Potomac River makes for an idyllic setting.

There’s some seriously upscale shopping at the Collection at Chevy Chase for the retail-inclined, but the real draw of Westwood is its pristine landscaping and tight-knit community.
