More About Friendship Heights

You’ll discover a wide variety of condominiums in Friendship Heights, ranging from mid-century modern styles to sleek towers. One of the most perennially popular properties is Somerset House, a trio of high-rise condo buildings set within the lush 17-acre gated Parc Somerset development with its incredible array of country club style amenities. Tenley Hill combines condos and townhomes, Chase Point is chic and modern with duplex penthouses at the top, The Elizabeth is one of several luxury midcentury buildings within the Village at Friendship Heights subdivision, and the recently completed Ritz-Carlton Residences at Chevy Chase is the height of upscale refinement.

Friendship Heights gets its name from an early colonial “friendship grant.” The large swath of farmland was eventually developed, thanks to the arrival of a trolley line from Georgetown circa 1900. Neighboring communities include Chevy Chase, Tenleytown, American University Park, and Friendship Village on the other side of the Maryland border. It’s a charming area to live in with a lot of variety, ranging from quaint treelined streets with historic homes to commercialized corridors like Wisconsin Avenue with its plethora of shops, restaurants, and upscale condominiums.

A combination of disparate elements lends to the appeal of Friendship Heights, a community that spans time and trends. Craftsman homes, condos, local art galleries, hipster coffee shops, and more commercialized upscale shopping all co-exist easily. The presence of the Friendship Heights Metro Station adds an additional level of commuter convenience to a neighborhood that is already easily accessible via north/south roadways. And of course, location is key. Residents can venture north to popular shopping and entertainment locations like Bethesda Row, or south to the downtown excitement of DC.

Condominium choices in Friendship Heights run the gamut from boutique low-rises to amenity-rich towers. And while easy accessibility plays into the appeal, local residents don’t actually have to venture far for daily activities and enjoyment. There’s lots of welcoming greenspaces including the sprawling Rock Creek Park. Grocery options include Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, and the Friendship Heights Farmers Market. There’s tons of great local bakeries and coffee shops, and no shortage of dining, from casual sidewalk cafes to top chef-driven restaurants.
