View Downtown Bethesda Townhomes in a larger map

One of the few townhome communities with condo-ownership, especially in lower Montgomery County, individual associations maintain the exteriors of all the properties, as well as the grounds.  Kenwood Forest units are mostly priced in the $500ks and $600ks.

View our “trailer” below to get a brief (really brief!) snippet of  ”Kenwood Forest life”….

As a kind reminder, turn your volume down if your surroundings are “volume prohibitive” :-)

A Little History…

Kenwood Forest was originally built as rental housing just after World War II. In the late 1970s developers began the conversion from rental to condo ownership.   Most units are two to three level townhome style with two, three and four bedrooms, with just a handful of one-level apartment style units. Many owners have added decks and, in recent years, renovations have included dramatic kitchen and bath updates.

Answer: Montgomery County, Maryland…one grandiose “area” that desserve a little more information.

Montgomery County Is…

• “Moco”: yes :-)… Moco is nomanclture some use when refering to Montgomery County – we love our “acrynyms”
• “Moco” is Maryland’s largest county and one of the nation’s most affluent…
• It borders Washington, D.C. to the South and the Potomac River on the West.
• The Southern area, probably 1/10th the size of the county, is often the “Greater Bethesda area”.
• Houses the National Institutes of Health, the Federal Drug Administration, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and a corridor “high tech” industries, the county is a large employer in its own right and attracts Washington workers
• There is an abundance of recreational and cultural facilities and the county is known for its extremely well respected public school system.
• The Metro subway system serves much of the county and there are areas, such as Bethesda that are known for their fine dining opportunities.

Montgomery County / Greater Bethesda Real Estate – The Nitty Gritty

The City Homes of Edgemoor, in The Heart of Downtown Bethesda fetch $1M+ because of proximity to Metro and the Downtown bethesda core.

• The county affords every type of housing imaginable – from high rise condos to tree lined single family neighborhoods, to working farms. It’s all here!
• The most expensive areas in the county lie closest to the city line…”the Greater Bethesda area”.
• When many people are asked to define The Greater Bethesda area, most will include Bethesda’s adjacent towns, Potomac and Chevy Chase, Garrett Park, Kensington (don’t worry, we have guides on this site for all these areas!).

Greater Bethesda Home Prices = Location and DC Accessibility

There are nuances to all these areas the county but since the question referred specificaly to Bethesda, let’s talk Bethesda!

There are nuances to different neighborhoods which have direct correlations to home prices…the “Micro-Market”.  Proximity to metro, demand for property types in a certain neighborhoods, …will vary not just in these large towns, but the neighborhoods.

Interested in more information about Montgomery County and the Greater Bethesda area? We have both tools and some pretty decent agents :-) working behind the scenes more than happy to answer questions / help educate. Feel free to call or e-mail, leave a comment any time.  Great days to all…

Bethesda Lights Up at Night!

Gallery B in Bethesda is a non-profit arts venue managed by The Bethesda Arts & Entertainment District and Bethesda Urban Partnership for the purpose of providing maximum exposure to art-enthusiasts for painters, photographers, sculptors and other arts professionals.  Their next exhibit, which begins December 8 and runs through January 8, 2012, features a group exhibition with works by Anne Bouhour, Constance Chabrieres, Nathalie Pouliquen and Brigitte Zelenko.  In addition to this month-long exhibit, a special opening reception is planned for Friday, December 9, 2011 from 6-9 p.m.

Gallery B is located at 7700 Wisconsin Avenue, Suite E, Bethesda, MD 20814.

Speaking of art, don’t forget that the monthly Bethesda Art Walk occurs on the 2nd Friday of every month from 6-9 p.m.

The construction site (at the corner of Arlington Lane & Bradley Blvd) was the former home of an “old” Safeway.  Many residents often referred to it as “dated”, or “the last option” grocery store in the neighborhood. As a Chevy Chase resident I know Jason Koitz, Realtor Extraordinare,  can attest to having had some of these same feelings.

So when the store closed several months back with the promise of a new “lifestyle” upgraded store to take its place, many of us were pleased to think of the possibilities — especially in light of the transformation of the “Social Safeway” in Georgetown-which has brought a unique vibe to grocery shopping in the Georgetown area.

There has been some crticism of the new structure and questions of accessibility at a very difficult intersection. In my humble opinion, having an anchor for the Kenwood Forest area, easily trumps the location challenge and this exciting new store will be very welcome in Bethesda.

A Kenwood Forest Effect?

This new shopping option may also add value to a residential area that has garnered attention by both young families and single professionals over the last several years. Kenwood Forest, a “townhome style” condo development, is just steps away from the new site of the new Safeway, and is sure to benefit from its arrival.

Officially located in Chevy Chase, Kenwood Forest is already highly desirable neighborhood  offering the Bethesda/Chevy Chase area’s only “townhome” (officially “condo ownership”) option at a price tag around or under $600k. Residents enjoy all the amenities of Downtown Bethesda living — a short walk to the Bethesda Ave Shops, Metro, easy access to the Capital Crescent Trail, etc — while retaining a neighborhood feel and sense of community.  There’s an escape from the urban hustle and bustle.

So now with an upscale market and coffee shop just steps away, does Kenwood Forest become more desirable?

Thoughts? And Thanks as Always…

Downtown Bethesda Doing The True Boutique Condo

The smallest New Bethesda condo boutique in the pipeline may still have one unit available.

Months ago, I wrote about a new Downtown Bethesda Townhomes development  in the works.  Forget what I said? :-)  The developer has decided to go the with four downtown Bethesda condos instead.

According to one of the reps, there will be  “4 condos”, that  ”2 [have already] sold already…maybe 3″, and that “construction [is slated] to start in approx. 1 year.”

Each unit will have it’s own garage door that enters into elevator lobby. It appears the units will be a shade smaller than 2000 sq. ft. though  Kind reminder, I’ve yet to follow up for a few weeks and plans continually change!  From what I could cajole from the developers , units will be hovering in that $2 million dollar area.

Condo fees are a tougher nut to crack, but if I were to guess, even in a very small boutique, one should expect 50-60 cents per square foot (meaning somewhere in that $800-$1000/month area).

I’ve included the few elevations below and I’ll keep you updated  as I learn more!

If you have any interest, would like to set up an appointment, or would like to be kept in the loop.  Contact me, (or simply use the form below) and I’ll be more than happy to do what I can.
