The Chevy Chase area of Washington, D.C. has a distinctly more quiet and exclusive feel than most of the rest of the city. The first home in Chevy Chase was built in 1908, and many of the original homes still stand in the neighborhood today. This DC neighborhood should not be confused with its neighbor, Chevy Chase, Maryland, although the two are only separated by Western Avenue. Over the years, Chevy Chase has expanded and includes several smaller neighborhoods, including Friendship Heights, Tenleytown and Hawthorne. Real estate options consist of condominiums, townhouses, single-family detached homes as well as land for custom building. Visitors and residents who are interested in learning more about the neighborhood cannot miss out on Historic Chevy Chase’s annual walking tours of some of the neighborhood’s more impressive homes. Also not to be missed is Rock Creek Park, which makes up one of the neighborhood’s borders. This unique reserve contains miles of natural beauty, as well as historic buildings and interesting attractions, such as the Carter Barron Amphitheater and the Rock Creek Nature Center and Planetarium. As hard-pressed as you may be to leave the sanctuary of Chevy Chase, the excitement and wonder of downtown Washington, D.C. cannot be overlooked. Thousands of memorials, museums, restaurants, shops and theatres are only minutes away. Residents of this singular neighborhood enjoy a lifestyle of quiet beauty combined with the attractions of one of the U.S.’s most spectacular cities!
