Condo Living in Bethesda: Stonehall, Lionsgate, The Lauren, Edgemoor & Adagio

If you are thinking about simplifying your life without giving up luxury, Bethesda’s premier condo buildings offer something for nearly every lifestyle. Whether you want a lock-and-leave residence for travel, a sophisticated downsizing option, or a full-service luxury home close to restaurants and Metro, Bethesda’s high-end condo market delivers elegance, convenience, and community.

What I love about Bethesda luxury condos is that each building has its own personality. Some feel boutique and intimate. Others are grand and service-oriented. Some attract buyers who love entertaining, while others appeal to professionals who want easy commuting and low-maintenance living.

Here’s a closer look at five of Bethesda’s standout luxury condo buildings and why buyers continue to choose them.

Modern Boutique Luxury at Stonehall Bethesda

As one of the most recent additions, to the Bethesda condo market, the Stonehall feels fresh, contemporary, and refined. Built between 2016 and 2018 at 8301 Woodmont Avenue, this boutique building offers just 46 residences, which creates a quieter, more private atmosphere than some of the larger condo communities in Bethesda.  Residents of The Stonehall Condominium enjoy an impressive suite of amenities, including two rooftop terraces, a community garden, and sweeping views of Bethesda. A stylish resident clubhouse offers an inviting space for gatherings or quiet relaxation, while the fully equipped fitness center is easily accessible on the second floor. Ideally situated in a peaceful pocket of downtown, the location offers the best of Bethesda just outside your door—renowned dining, boutique shopping, and vibrant entertainment. With both the Bethesda Metro and Medical Center Metro just moments away, commuting is effortless.

Why Buyers Love the Stonehall

• Boutique feel with fewer residences
• Gorgeous contemporary finishes
• Rooftop terrace and club room
• Concierge service and fitness center
• Large balconies and dramatic windows
• Quiet location on the edge of Bethesda close to NIH and Walter Reed
• Excellent walkability to Bethesda Row and Metro

The kitchens are especially impressive, with quartz countertops, oversized islands, gas cooktops, and sleek cabinetry that feel more custom home than condo.

Typical Price Range

Most Stonehall residences typically range from the mid $700,000s into the multi-million-dollar range for penthouses. For example, in May 2026 there is a 2 bedroom 2 bath condo with slightly less than 1000 square feet listed for $739,000.   The most expensive sale in the Stonehall was a penthouse unit that closed in April 2026 for $2.65M with 2600 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 3 baths and 2 parking spaces.

Buyers who want newer construction, contemporary design, and a boutique luxury experience without endless hallways and oversized buildings.

Full-Service Elegance at Lionsgate

Lionsgate has long been one of Bethesda’s signature luxury condo buildings. Located in the Woodmont Triangle, it combines true full-service living with an unbeatable walkable location. at 7710 Woodmont Avenue, just off Old Georgetown Road.

Why Buyers Choose Lionsgate

• 24-hour concierge and valet service
• Beautiful rooftop terrace
• Fitness center and resident club room
• Elegant finishes and spacious floor plans
• Steps from restaurants, shops, and Metro

Many buyers love Lionsgate because it feels luxurious in the traditional sense — attentive service, elegant common spaces, and a polished atmosphere. It is especially popular with downsizers who want convenience without sacrificing quality.

Typical Price Range

Residences generally range from around $700,000 to well over $1 million depending on size and floor level.  At present (May 2026) there are two units for sale at the Lionsgate condos.  Both are two bedroom two bath condos with two parking spaces and they range from $995000 to $1,090,000.  A slightly smaller unit (1070 square feet) is under contract with a list price of $799,000.  Since the beginning of 2025, 5 units have sold with a one bedroom one bath going for $347,000.  This was an MPDU unit, subject to MPDU guidelines with no income restrictions but purchaser must be a first time Home Buyer and owner occupant. This 1-bedroom, 1-bath residence features a beautifully renovated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, stone countertops, and upgraded flooring throughout. The oversized primary bath and the convenience of an in-unit stackable washer and dryer makes everyday living effortless. A garage parking space is included with the home, along with access to Lionsgate’s premium amenities, including a fitness center and a rooftop lounge.  Other sales ranged from $1,025,000 to $1,145,000, all for 2 bedroom 2 bath units.

Classic Luxury at Edgemoor Condominium

The Edgemoor combines timeless architecture with a quieter residential setting while still being close to everything downtown Bethesda offers. Built in 2003, the building has a more classic, established luxury feel. Tucked away at 4821 Montgomery Lane, this is a small hidden gem of elegance. With fewer units than most of the other luxury condos in Bethesda, properties rarely come on the market at the Edgemoor.

Buyers choose the Edgemoor for its:

• Traditional elegance and larger layouts

• Fitness center and club room
• Quiet residential location
• Spacious kitchens and gracious floor plans

Many residences include large eat-in kitchens, formal dining areas, and architectural details that appeal to buyers transitioning from single-family homes.

Urban Sophistication at Adagio Condominiums

The Adagio sits at the southern edge of downtown Bethesda near Chevy Chase and offers a sleek urban vibe with excellent access to shopping, dining, and commuting routes.  The Adagio was built in 2006 and its glass walls and large balconies provided a welcome change from the traditional condominium buildings that Washington and Bethesda had seen before. There are no other tall buildings nearby so you have exceptionally good views from the rooms and balconies at the Adagio.

There are 92 units at the Adagio ranging in size from 809 square feet up to 3500 square feet.   There are several floorplans ranging from a one bedroom one bath condo (809 square feet) to a one bedroom plus den with two full baths (900 square feet) to a two bedroom plus den and two and a half bath condo with 1300 square feet, a three bedroom three bath with over 1854 square feet – and then the largest with the 3500 square feet. Many of the condos have balconies or terraces with some looking out on the street life of Wisconsin Avenue and others looking out over the green space of Bethesda and the Capital Crescent Trail.  Some special units offer loft style upper levels with 14 foot ceilings, while others are two stories with private rooftop terraces. Standard finishes include walnut hardwood floors, Poggenpohl cabinets, Miele, Bosch and Sub-Zero stainless appliances and marble baths.

• Modern architecture and floor-to-ceiling windows
