Return to listing

A short walk through the heart of this lovely neighborhood brings you to the new, revitalized Downtown Silver Spring with its host of restaurants, shopping and entertainment; the local public library; and Sligo Creek Park with playgrounds, picnic areas, tennis & basketball courts, and over 10 miles of paved hard surface trails. Walk four blocks to the local public elementary and middle schools - Sligo Creek Elementary (which offers a French Immersion program) and Silver Spring International (recently cited by the Washington Post magazine as one of 30 good Middle Schools).  Metro is just under a mile away. 

The new Civic Building (community activities, banquet/meeting space) and Veterans Plaza (open public space with a pavilion for the summer concert series, and ice-skating rink in the winter) are scheduled to open in November 2009.
