The Parks Community
At the nexus of several highly established residential neighborhoods, the site’s rolling green hills and pedestrian promenades will make direct connections to Rock Creek Park — the nation’s largest urban park — a pillar in the project’s strong emphasis on recreation. The Parks at Walter Reed is five miles from Downtown DC, minutes from established Montgomery County communities Bethesda, Chevy Chase, and Silver Spring, and highly accessible by foot, Metro, commuter rail, and car.
