Would you like to know more about the community of Edgewood/Glenwood? It is a harmonious collection of 225 traditional style homes, mostly constructed in the 1930's and 1940's. Every original Edgewood/Glenwood home is either a colonial or cape cod with brick construction, plaster walls, oak hardwood floors, slate roofing and with the care and pride of an era gone by. The rolling terrain and magnificent trees provide a setting equal to any in Bethesda. But the community is more than just brick and mortar. This is a community where people really do know their neighbors, where there is an intense pride in ownership and where people work together to improve the quality of life for all. The homes are meticulously cared for, many have been expanded/updated and all have weathered the decades gracefully.
Community life is enhanced by the efforts of the Edgewood/Glenwood Citizens Association. The community organization is voluntary and serves the residents by planning events and monitoring the progress of downtown Bethesda, NIH and Suburban Hospital. It has been instrumental in the design and renovation of the children's playground at nearby Greenwich Park (scheduled for this year). The neighborhood also has a 4th of July celebration and Halloween party each year, both featuring a parade by the children and a great get together for the adults.

In addition to all the wonderful people in the community, one of its greatest assets is the proximity to Metro, parks and downtown Bethesda. Bethesda, with its many desirable restaurants and outdoor activities, is within walking distance and remains the destination of choice for adults and families. Whether it's Imagination Bethesda, Taste of Bethesda, Bethesda Literary Festival or the Thanksgiving Day "Turkey Trot", this neighborhood and home offer something for everyone.
