What makes the Kenwood Condos So Special?
Life at the Kenwood is like living with an extended family. You get to know your neighbors – and you are glad that you do – because they are so varied and interesting. You love how attentive and caring the staff is. Chris Cooper, one of the front desk people, has worked at the Kenwood for 11 years. That says a lot of the type of people who work at the Kenwood and about how the staff feels about the owners and occupants.
With 311 total units on 19 floors, there are lots of options to choose from at the Kenwood. Units range from about 500 square feet to over 2600 square feet.

What is Nearby the Kenwood Condos
Although the Kenwood is located on River Road at Little Falls, a very quiet area in Bethesda, the building is just a short mile stroll to downtown Bethesda along the Little Falls Parkway and another mile back toward Washington and Friendship Heights. Metro access is available at both the Bethesda station and Friendship Heights. Lots of buses run up and down River Road on a frequent basis, also providing quick access to Friendship Heights and Montgomery Mall.
Grocery shopping is readily available at the Whole Foods just three blocks up River Road. In addition to the Whole Foods, you can have a pizza dinner at Ledo’s and finish it off with a trip to the Sarah’s Handmade Ice cream or pick up bagels at Georgetown Bagels. This whole part of Bethesda will undergo a major renovation in the next few years with Westbard becoming a small town center offering high rise condos and apartments, new restaurants and shops. I am sure that this will have a positive effect on prices at the Kenwood.
There are not many restaurants immediately nearby, but there are a carryout Chinese restaurant and Ledo’s Pizza within a five block radius.
Geico headquarters are less than a mile away, and then in Friendship Heights is the local Microsoft headquarters, and a variety of retail establishments and hotels.
The Kenwood is a great place to call home. You will love living here and getting to know your very interesting neighbors. You can find condos for sale at the Kenwood (if there are any available today) as well as all available condos for sale in Bethesda on my website.
