An established luxury neighborhood of large homes, mature trees, and walkable streets — just northwest of downtown Bethesda.
Edgemoor is one of Bethesda’s oldest and most established luxury residential neighborhoods — a close-in enclave of large homes, mature tree canopy, and quiet, walkable streets just northwest of downtown Bethesda, Maryland.
Within a few blocks of Bethesda Row, the Bethesda Metro, and Arlington Road, Edgemoor pairs genuine architectural character and generous lots with a location most Bethesda neighborhoods simply can’t match. Homes here turn over slowly and are often held within families for years.
That scarcity is exactly what makes Edgemoor both highly desirable and difficult to buy into. Start with the Bethesda neighborhood guide for the wider market, or read on for everything specific to Edgemoor.

What sets Edgemoor apart is how close-in it is for a neighborhood of this caliber of home. Residents can walk to dining, the farmers market, the Metro, and the Capital Crescent Trail — convenience that’s rare for an area of large single-family houses on established lots.
Edgemoor neighbors Kenwood, Battery Park, and Bradley Hills, with Chevy Chase just to the southeast. (Boundaries vary by source; confirm a specific property’s neighborhood and lot before relying on it.)

Edgemoor is overwhelmingly traditional, but it holds a few significant works of contemporary design. The most notable is the David Jameson–designed residence at 7118 Glenbrook Road.
David Jameson, FAIA, is a Washington, DC–based architect whose residential work has earned national recognition, including a 2012 AIA National Honor Award. The Glenbrook Road house — a glass-and-stone contemporary composition — is documented by the USModernist architectural archive and stands as a striking exception within a neighborhood otherwise defined by Colonials and Tudors.
