Chevy Chase Overview

Straddling the borders of both Washington, DC and Montgomery County in Maryland, Chevy Chase (no, not the SNL alumni!) is a dynamic unincorporated region that has much to offer in the way of convenience and opportunity. From retail stores aplenty to highly lauded area schools, this is one hot spot well worth considering.

What is the history of Chevy Chase?

initially known as a primary farmland region in the 1800s, Chevy Chase began housing development near the turn of the century. The city's proximity to Washington, DC made it popular, and by 1927 Chevy Chase Junior College was established. The National 4H Foundation came to town in the mid-1950s, and today the area is largely utilized as a bedroom community for those working in the greater DC job market.

How is the weather in Chevy Chase?

Winters may occasionally bring snowfall, but heavy accumulation is rare. Fittingly, summers lean toward the hot and muggy end of things, with rains in the spring commonplace. Fall tends to be quite pleasant indeed, highlighted by crisp, cool evenings and plenty of leaf colors.

How do I get around town?

While most residents of apartments in Chevy Chase rely on a personal auto to get around, bus and limited rail service leading into DC are both available. Taxis are easy to find as well, and even bicycling has seen a boost in popularity recently. The nation's capital is also the spot for air travel, with the airport offering numerous domestic and international flights daily.

What is the Chevy Chase commute like?

Western and Wisconsin Avenues mark the most used roadways through town, with Interstate 495 to the north seeing the bulk of commuter traffic. Peak hours heading in and out of Washington DC can be quite sluggish, with gridlock and fender benders common.

What are the local media outlets?

The 'Montgomery County Sentinel' is a prime print news source in the region, with the 'Washington Post' also popular. Radio is fittingly diverse, with genres ranging from jazz and classical to modern rock and even country. Political talk radio is, unsurprisingly, popular, and most broadcast affiliates of major networks such as NBC and FOX are found easily.

Why live in Chevy Chase, MD?

Location, location, location! Offering premium amenities such as a multitude of dining and shopping options, Chevy Chase apartments are still defined largely by their proximity to the most famous historic destination and work force in the country. Local schools are a hit with families, and with plenty of that Maryland charm to go around, Chevy Chase rentals remain in high demand with good reason.

What Chevy Chase landmarks should I see?

The nearby National Park Seminary is worth a look, and the old 4H Building still stands proud near the town square. The Kentlands Mansion is a fabulous place to explore, and of course nearby historic legends such as the Washington Monument and the White House are all within easy driving reach.

What is there to do around Chevy Chase?

Spend an afternoon exploring the truly beautiful Brookside Gardens, or ride the carousel at Wheaton Regional Park. The Brookside Nature Center is just a short drive from numerous Chevy Chase apartments, and Tavira is a fine dining establishment that is well worthy of a reservation.

Any annual festivals or Chevy Chase events to know?

The Armenian Food Festival brings its tasty wares to town each and every year, while the nearby Silver Spring Dance Festival is a crowd pleaser as well. The Christmas Bazaar boasts crafts and Santa himself, and holidays such as July 4th and Halloween both also draw their own audiences with parades and other block parties throughout the city.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Hit the road to Baltimore, where you can dance the night away to live music and feast on the those famous crab cakes, or simply explore all that rural Maryland has to offer, from camping and hiking to fishing and even windsurfing. Washington DC is, of course, another great option, complete with world famous museums and some of the best eateries in the nation. Hit the road to see the Liberty Bell and the stairs from 'Rocky' in nearby Philadelphia, or get close to nature with a weekend of exploring in the wilds of West Virginia, all within easy reach of apartments in Chevy Chase.

Where is the best place to move in Chevy Chase?

Life in Maryland is truly a unique experience, so why not connect with an apartment that matches your distinct needs and personality? From luxurious one bedroom spreads complete with terrace and sweeping views, to economic family units that offer close proximity to area schools and onsite swimming pool, the ideal Chevy Chase rental is out there just waiting to make your acquaintance.
