Why Live at Quarry Springs Condominiums in Bethesda MD 20817?

 

 

Are you ready to move to a luxury condo?

Condo living is the answer - and Quarry Springs is the perfect condo home! To see all the luxury condos for sale in Bethesda from the Cheval to Somerset House to Hampden Row and more, click here.

Located just off  River Road, Quarry Springs offers easy access to Washington, Bethesda and Potomac and the rest of the metro area by way of I-270 and the Beltway. The community is so friendly here and the surroundings so beautiful, why would you want to live anywhere else?

Quarry Springs is also close to the Westfield Mall and Cabin John Park with all that is offered there.  Whether you want to shop, go to the movies, eat out, or play baseball, ride a miniature train, take your dog to the dog park or ice skate, you can find something to do within five minutes of your new home! 

SHOPPING ANYONE?

Shopping is easy with Montgomery Mall right outside your door.  The newly renovated Arclight Theater offers an upscale movie experience with wine and food, reserved stadium style seating, and all the best first run movies.  Whether it is Bobby's Burger Palace or Jamaican Mi Crazy, there are lots of dining options at Montgomery Mall. Shopping options range from White House, Black Market to Coach and Nordstrom's, the Apple Store and several excellent jewelers for that spur of the moment gift!   Don't forget that Balducci's is just a mile or two away at the Wildwood shopping center on Old Georgetown with all of its great prepared foods and fantastic vegetables, meats and wine selection.  The Wildwood shopping center also has restaurants like Le Pain Quotidien and great shops like South Moon Under.  

If you go into Chevy Chase of course every luxury store you could imagine is there including Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale’s, Ralph Lauren, Brooks Brothers, Cartier and Tiffany.

WHERE DO CHILDREN FROM QUARRY SPRINGS GO TO SCHOOL?

Children who live at Quarry Springs attend schools in the Winston Churchill High School cluster.  Holton Arms and Landon are just about a mile away down River Road and Primary Day, across from Holton, is a great pre-school to second grade program.  Georgetown Prep, a well regarded Catholic high school, is just a few miles away  on the Rockville Pike and  Stone Ridge School for girls is just  a few blocks south of Prep on the Rockville Pike

If you want to take your children to swim, you will love how close the Bethesda Aquatic Center is on Executive Boulevard. Year round ice skating and hockey are available at the Cabin John Ice skating Rink.  My daughter learned to figure skate there and then switched to ice hockey. It is a great facility!  There is a great library, with a wonderful children's section, just a mile away on Democracy Boulevard.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW THE VALUE OF  QUARRY SPRINGS CONDO?

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 comparative 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.

 

 

If you are interested in selling your home at Quarry Springs, the Lise Howe Group  can create a market analysis for you and show you the value you can get for your property. We can market your home with a strong internet marketing program that will enhance the value of your home on the market. Just give us a call and ask about our complementary comparative market analysis.  We would love to help you sell your home! Don't trust someone who is not very familiar with the values and strengths of the Quarry Springs Condominiums to sell your most precious asset.  Call the Lise Howe Group at 240-401-5577 or email us atlise@lisehowe.com

Good  morning, Lise Howe I think it's common knowledge that when one is thinking of a move to a luxury condo in the Bethesda area, the only agent to call for proper representation is Lise Howe, the Queen of Bethesda Condos.....  not only is she the most well-versed of the group of Realtors servicing that area, but she is an attorney who has a clear understanding of real estate law....

you can't lose when you have that full representation at your disposal....you have one stop shopping....everyone should have legal representation as well as proper agency representation.... you have both with Lise.
