WELCOME TO BETHESDA COURT

Arizona Circle, Bethesda MD 20817

Do you want to move to a townhome or condo in Bethesda? Find homes for sale or rent at Bethesda Court on Arizona off Democracy Boulevard near Montgomery Mall.  Since there are so few properties in Bethesda Court on Arizona this search includes other townhomes for sale or rent in the Ashburton elementary school district. 

Bethesda Court is a small community of townhouses in a cluster of tree filled courtyards built in 1985 near Montgomery Mall, I-270 and the Beltway.  Each townhouse has three levels, three bedrooms and two baths on the upper level and a half bath on the first floor.

Why Choose Bethesda Court?

Do you want a friendly community surrounded by the green space of Cabin John Park, and yet just a short walk to all that the Westfield Montgomery Mall has to offer and an easy ride to downtown Bethesda and the rest of the DC metro area?  If you want a sense of community you will love Bethesda Court, which is only 81 units. It seems particularly friendly here and you certainly will get to know your neighbors and make new friends.

Condo fees include common area maintenance, exterior building maintenance, lawn maintenance, management, master insurance policy, reserve funds, snow removal and trash removal.

What is Near Bethesda Court

Bethesda Court is just a few blocks from Montgomery Mall (or Westfield Mall as it is now called.)  This Mall has undergone a recent transformation with the addition of a new Arclight theater and food court making it one of the nicest places to see movies in the DC area.  Other dining opportunities include a new Cheesecake Factory, Nordstrom Cafe and Naples Ristorante which are not in the food court. 

If you are still hungry, look no further than the restaurants at the Wildwood Shopping Center, like Oakville Grille, Le Pain Quotidienne, and Chop't - and don't forget the new Pike and Rose, just two miles away.  This blog would be too long if I included all the new shops and restaurants going in there.

You can't always eat out though and occasionally you need a grocery store!  The Giant at Democracy and Old Georgetown is there for staples (although it could certainly be updated!) and Balducci's is across the street for all the gourmet items and wine you could ever want.

Enough about food! Bethesda Court is just at the edge of Cabin John Regional Park, one of Montgomery County's biggest and best combinations of nature, sports and recreation. The park encompasses athletic fields, including the beautiful Shirley Povich Field; a full-service ice-skating rink; indoor and outdoor tennis courts; and many picnic areas, trails and camp sites. Kids of all ages can enjoy summer ball games and the miniature train that runs through the park. Many of the facilities are wheelchair accessible. From nature programs and hiking to playgrounds, sports and baseball - Cabin John has something for everyone

WHY CHOOSE BETHESDA PARK

Not every family commutes in the same direction. Partners may work in Virginia and upper Montgomery County. Some family members may head off to College Park for classes while others are driving to Leesburg or flying out of Dulles.  Being tucked into a quiet subdivision twenty minutes from the nearest commuting road just doesn't cut it!

Located close to the Beltway and I-270, this is the place to be for today's commuter.  You are just two minutes from the entrance to the Beltway and 270 and from there you can go north to Frederick, south to Virginia, Dulles and Leesburg, and east to Baltimore, College Park and Prince Georges County.

Getting to Walter Reed Medical Center is a breeze and doesn't even require getting on the highway! This is really a commuter's dream.

You can find townhouses for sale or rent at the Bethesda Court (if there are any available today) as well as all the other condos available in the 20817 zipcode on my website, www.thelisehowegroup.com. Bethesda Court is the place to be for access to transportation and shopping!

If you would like new construction, be sure to check that out here. There are several choices for new townhome construction in the 20817 zip code!

There are a number of sites on the internet that will give you 'estimates' for what your home will sell for. These sites use public records and usually some kind of algorithm to try to produce a value for your home. These sites also publicly state their 'error rates'. That means they aren't correct, they are simply an estimate based on incomplete date. We would love to do a free comparitive market analysis of your home or condo in Bethesda (or anywhere else in the market area) and let you know what could expect to get in today's market if you are considering selling. Our valuation is based on up to the day data for homes that have recently sold in the area. Our valuation is not based on a formula that relies on public records which can take months to update. Please visit my website in order to get your free property evaluation for your Bethesda home or condo.
