Downtown Bethesda Townhomes

Downtown Bethesda townhomes are a rarity.  The “original” townhomes (if you want to extend the boundaries beyond downtown Bethesda a little) were in Kenwood Forest.  These units, which were converted from garden apartments in the late 1970s, actually have a Chevy Chase address – but they are just on the other side of Bradley and are certainly within easy walking distance of downtown BethesdaKenwood Forest was very much a “starter home” community where people moved in, maybe did some painting and lived with the original fixtures. 

Villages of Bethesda

The rise of the downtown Bethesda townhomes officially in the Edgemoor subdivison came in a few phases. Developer Larry Brandt started the ball rolling when the bought the property on the corner of Edgemoor and Arlington and began construction of the Villages of Bethesda, a community of 21 luxury townhomes, all with fireplaces and a common underground garage.  Square footage ranges between 2200 square feet to a shade over 3000 square feet.   Completed in 1999, these units took a little longer to construct and sell than the developer had hoped, but the finished product remains extremely popular.  

The City Homes of Edgemoor

Some time after the Brandt acquisition, Lenny Greenberg bought a couple of single family homes on Montgomery Lane, just off of Arlington.  He began construction of City Homes of Edgemoor and sold out before there was a hole in the ground.  Phase 1 held three rows of 4 level townhomes (approximately 2400 square feet of living space).  Two of the rows had 6 townhomes each and the third row had only 5.  In the third row, the developer (Lenny Greenberg) and the builder (Herman Porten) each claimed a unit that was 1-1/2 times the size of the others.  These larger units have 3 car garages and elevators.  Only two other units in Phase 1 have elevators.  Phase 1 was completed in 1998.  Two years later, Lenny Greenberg acquired a couple of other properties and hired Sandy Spring Builders to add two more rows of townhomes.  Phase 2 consists of twelve units and is similar to Phase 1, but the units are a little larger (approximately 3000 square feet of living space) and all have elevators.

The Future of Downtown Bethesda Townhomes 

Although there appears to be a tremendous demand for downtown Bethesda townhomes, there doesn’t seem to be a lot of interest on the part of developers to increase the supply.  As land values have skyrocketed, it’s become much more profitable (perhaps the only way to be profitable) to go up and to build high end condos instead of high end townhomes.
