Wood Acres has a charming neighborhood feel thanks to its narrow, winding streets and its restrictive building covenants that forbid tear downs and maintain the architectural integrity of the neighborhood. Many refer to it as a "throwback" neighborhood with an active citizen's association and family friendly picnics and holiday parades throughout the year. Conveniently located, Wood Acre's residents have easy access to both the River Road and Massachusetts Avenue Corridors as well as downtown Bethesda which is only two miles away.
Wood Acres is a community of 404 homes developed by the Wood Acres Construction Corporation between 1939 and 1959. Homes in Wood Acres share a brick colonial design with similar interior layouts yet a good amount of variability on their exterior appearances. The neighborhood boasts the highly rated Wood Acres Elementary school, a beautiful 10 acre local park and also well known for its old growth trees, including oak, beech, poplar and hickory trees that lend their beauty to the hilly terrain.
