Why Live at the Whitehall Condominium
REST EASY- You have found a great community! If you are looking for an amazing condo complex in downtown Bethesda, you have just found it. The Whitehall couldn’t be more conveniently located. Sitting on the west side of Woodmont Triangle, the Whitehall is just a short stroll to the Bethesda Metro and all that downtown Bethesda has to offer from ethnic restaurants, unique stores, chain stores like Apple, Lululemon and Blue Mercury, and theaters.
The view from the upper floors of the Whitehall are priceless. Above the tree line you can see all the way down Old Georgetown Road and beyond! The sunrises are beyond amazing!
No car? No problem! This condo complex has a Walkscore of 91, so literally everything you would ever need to live is within walking distance. But, if you need parking, they have that too. The covered garage makes sure that your car (or bike) is never in harms way.
Because you get amazing sunrises looking over Bethesda!
Because it is pet friendly!
Because it has a great front desk!
Because you can walk to two metros!
Because it is close to NIH and Walter Reed!
Because Woodmont Triangle is where Bethesda is growing!
Face it – Bethesda is getting to be a big little city. The intersection of Bethesda and Woodmont Avenues has been transformed in the last few years from a quiet little area with a surface parking lot or two and a Barnes and Noble into a community with luxury high rise condos, a park, trendy stores and upscale restaurants. Even the Barnes and Noble has morphed into a trendy clothing store with a restaurant and plant store in the same space. Bethesda has gone high end! It is a great place to shop and dine, but for many people it is overwhelming as a place to live. Some residents long for the “good old days” when Bethesda was a little quieter.
It is nice to retreat to the comfort and peace of a condo like the Whitehall. Composed of two high rise buildings, just on the edge of downtown Bethesda and only a few blocks from the Bethesda Metro and the NIH Metro, the Whitehall gives you the best of Bethesda at a very reasonable price. Adding to the sense of separation from all the noise and bustle of downtown Bethesda is a small park and public tennis courts on Battery Lane so you have a real sense of “country club” living when you combine it with the pool at the Whitehall and its exercise room! There is so much to walk to like the Harris Teeter at the end of the street, Guapo’s on Wisconsin Avenue, and the Blue House at the Woodmont Triangle Park. Grab a burger at BGR or a salad at Jetties and sit outside in the warm weather and watch everyone stroll by!
Amenities
The Whitehall Condos are composed of two high rise buildings and 13 townhouses. The front desk is located at 4977 Battery Lane, the larger building with approximately 260 units.

There are no washers and dryers in the units, but there are laundry facilities on each floor.

What is the Value of Your Whitehall Condominium
There are a number of sites on the internet that will give you ‘estimates’ for what your home will sell for. These sites use public records and usually some kind of algorithm to try to produce a value for your home. These sites also publicly state their ‘error rates’. That means they aren’t correct, they are simply an estimate based on incomplete date. We would love to do a free comparative market analysis of your home and let you know what could expect to get in today’s market if you are considering selling. Our valuation is based on up to the day data for homes that have recently sold in the area. Our valuation is not based on a formula that relies on public records which can take months to update.
