Bethesda Overview

A consistent #1 placement on 'best places' lists by both 'Time Magazine' and 'Forbes', Bathesda is a thriving Maryland city that represents some of the best living in the state. Convenient to Washington, DC while maintaining an identity all its own, Bathesda boasts close to 65K proud residents.

What is the history of Bethesda?

Technically an unincorporated area, Bathesda has no true boundaries. The region dates way back to the turn of the 1800s, where tobacco farming and the development of the Rockville Turnpike spurned increasing growth. A post office, blacksmith shop and more helped define the city for many years, until a streetcar line in 1890 helped rocket the town to popularity. Subdivisions followed in the coming years, and by 1984 the city boasted its own Metrorail station.

How is the weather in Bethesda?

Summers tend to be hot and humid, with spring and fall both claiming more even temperatures and occasionally even chilly nights. Winter can see snow, although rarely in large accumulation, and most tend to edge towards the mild side of things.

How do I get around town?

The Metro stop offers direct rail transport into Washington DC and beyond, and the popular Bathesda Circulator covers much of the city proper and offers free rides during the work week. Metrobus also offers numerous stops in the area, with Washington, DC's airport the primary spot for sky travel. Still, even with a wide rang of public transport options, many residents of Bathesda apartments choose to own a personal automobile.

What is the Bethesda commute like?

Interstate 495 acts as the primary roadway in and around the city, with 190 and 187 acting as thoroughfare main drags across the east-west center of town. Those commuting to the job market of DC can expect regular gridlock on most peak hours, making the rail service in the region that much more enticing.

What are the local media outlets?

The 'Washington Post' still dominates as the lead print media in the city, although the homegrown 'Bathesda Beat' is another popular periodical that puts a focus on local events. Radio and broadcast television are both heavily drawn from the DC market, and include affiliates of major programmers such as NBC and CBS, as well as airwave formats such as classic rock, jazz, modern R&B and more.

Why live in Bethesda, MD?

Steeped in a long history, Bathesda apartments are in high demand for good reason. Close to a dozen public and private schools call the area home, and the Congressional Country Club...one of the most prestigious in the nation...can be found a stone's throw from many residences. A wide array of businesses also choose to make their headquarters in Bathesda, from Comcast and Honest Tea to AdvisorShares and Lockheed Martin, and with the Washington DC job market a short train ride away, Bathesda rentals truly place a world of opportunity in a new resident's hands.

What Bethesda landmarks should I see?

The Madonna of the Trail Monument is well worth searching out, and the Bathesda Post Office dates back to the early 1900s. Follow the Capital Crescent Trail over the former tracks of the B&O Railroad, and the Walter Reed Medical Center still stands tall and proud in the city center.

What is there to do around Bethesda?

Spend a scenic afternoon touring the Brookside Gardens, or ride the merry-go-round at the famed Glen Echo Park. The Woodmont Grill features delectable steaks as well as nightly live jazz, and the Barking Dog is known across the city for it's eclectic live performance schedule.

Any annual festivals or Bethesda events to know?

The Bathesda Farmer's Market is hugely popular, and yearly events such as the Bathesda Film Fest draw large crowds. The Greek Festival combines dancing, crafts and oh-so-much food, while the Kensington Fall Colors bash highlights the seasonal color explosion in epic fashion.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Washington, DC is ever-present to Bathesda apartment fans, with the Smithsonian and a huge assortment of national landmarks within easy reach. Baltimore, likewise, makes a great nearby vacation escape, with live music venues such as the Sidebar offering nightlife excitement and the famous crab cakes a culinary win. For those looking to get a little rural, Virginia makes an excellent weekend road trip, with numerous camping opportunities within driving distance.

Where is the best place to move in Bethesda?

From stately family rentals close to area schools to luxurious, top floor one-bedroom apartments complete with onsite parking and amenities such as swimming pool and gym facilities, Bathesda apartments are diverse, eclectic and in-demand. Why let another day go by without a new Maryland rental to call your very own? Start your search for the next perfect apartment in Bathesda today!
