A FEW WORDS ABOUT WOOD ACRES… Albert Walker's Wood Acres Construction Company from 1940 through the late 1950's built this harmonious collection of 400 homes. Every original Wood Acres home is a colonial, built with brick, plaster walls, hardwood flooring 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 there is an intense pride in being part of a community. The homes are meticulously cared for and have weathered the decades gracefully.
There is also the gorgeous Woodacres Park, recently renovated and enhanced, where many in the neighborhood come to play. Woodacres Elementary is adjacent to the Park and was completely rebuilt brand new, re-opening in 2002. The school district of Walt Whitman High School and Thomas Pyle Middle School is one of the most sought after in the nation. The home is minutes from Glen Echo Park, C&O Canal and the Crescent Trail. And what's more - public transportation to the Friendship Heights Metro stop and downtown D.C. is at your doorstep.

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 61 years ago. Wood Acres sponsors a fabulous 4th of July celebration each year, featuring home made floats, decorated bicycles and fire engines. It's a scene right out of a Norman Rockwell painting. 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 is held occasionally and a newcomer's party each year gives us a chance to meet our new neighbors.
