WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE COMMUNITY OF WOOD ACRES?

This harmonious collection of 400 homes was built by Alert Walker’s Wood Acres Construction Company from 1940 through the late 1950’s. Every original Wood Acres home is a colonial, built with brick, plaster walls, hardwood floors and the care and pride of an era gone by. The rolling terrain and the magnificent trees provide for a setting that is the equal of any community in Bethesda. But the community is more than brick and mortar. This is a community where people really do know their neighbors, where is an intense pride in being part of a community. The homes are meticulously cared for and have weathered the decades gracefully.

Community life is enhanced through the efforts of the Wood Acres Citizens Association. This community organization has been in continual service since the inception of the community 50 years ago. Wood Acres sponsors a fabulous 4th of July celebration each year, featuring a parade of home made floats, decorated bicycles, and fire engines. Thousands attend and while the event is specifically staged for the benefit of the community, we usually attract hundreds of past Wood Acres residents who have never really left the community…in their hearts! At Halloween and the Holiday season the children are visited by the Great Pumpkin and Santa, a Spring House Tour attracts hundreds and a newcomers party each May gives us a chance to meet our new neighbors.

Does it sound too good to be true? Ask anyone who lives in Wood Acres. They’ll tell you how special it is! It is simply a great place to live.
