What is Nearby the Kenwood
Although the Kenwood is located on River Road at Little Falls, a very quiet area in Bethesda, the building is just a short mile stroll to downtown Bethesda along the Little Falls Parkway and another mile back toward Washington and Friendship Heights. Metro access is available at both the Bethesda station and Friendship Heights. Lots of buses run up and down River Road on a frequent basis, also providing quick access to Friendship Heights and Montgomery Mall.
Grocery shopping is readily available at the Whole Foods just three blocks up River Road and at the Giant at Westbard, about a half mile away. In addition to the Whole Foods, you can have a pizza dinner at Ledo's and finish it off with a trip to Sarah's Handmade Ice cream or pick up bagels at Georgetown Bagels. There are lots of banks nearby, including the SunTrust and the Bank of America next door on River Road. This whole part of Bethesda will undergo a major renovation in the next few years with Westbard becoming a small town center offering high rise condos and apartments, new restaurants and shops. I am sure that this will have a positive effect on prices at the Kenwood.
There are not many restaurants immediately nearby, but there is a Chinese restaurant next to Ledo's.
Geico headquarters are less than a mile away, and then in Friendship Heights is the local Microsoft headquarters, and a variety of retail establishments and hotels. Of course, Marriott Headquarters, NIH and Walter Reed are just about a mile away in downtown Bethesda.
