“What are the pet friendly Bethesda buildings?” often lead the list of questions that buyers have as they start their search for a new home. Generally, it is because the buyer is looking for a condo building that will accept their dog or cat. Sometimes however, it is because the buyer does not like dogs and does not want to share an elevator with them. Both positions are understandable!
Here is a list of 10 pet friendly Bethesda buildings. (Of course, there are exceptions to a building’s condo rules such as a verified service dog.)

CONDOS OUTSIDE DOWNTOWN BETHESDA
Bethesda covers a lot of space from the District line off Massachusetts Avenue all the way along the Rockville Pike north of the Beltway (where it becomes North Bethesda.) Not everyone wants to live in downtown Bethesda – even if lots of people enjoying shopping, dining and going to movies there. The following are a non-exclusive pair of pet friendly Bethesda buildings to consider. Quarry Ridge is on River Road outside the Beltway and Whitley Park just outside the Beltway on the Rockville Pike. Of course, there are other pet friendly Bethesda buildings to keep in mind in North Bethesda such as White Flint Station, Fallsgrove, Gallery Place and the new Pike and Rose community.
Quarry Springs
Quarry Springs is perfect if you are ready to move to a new luxury condo or townhome set in a gated community with 24/7 security and surrounded by exquisite landscaping.

The views from your balcony or roof top terrace at Quarry Springs will make you feel like you are living in a private park setting! You will fall in love with the clubhouse and pool and all the other amenities at Quarry Springs!
The 13-acre Quarry Springs property on River Road once was the site of Stoneyhurst Quarries, which provided stone to D.C.-area builders for much of the 20th century. In 2006, Montgomery County approved the construction of nearly 100 luxury condominiums there. But nearly half of the proposed condos were abandoned in favor of 44 luxury townhouses, which were built in 2019-2020 by Wormald.
Located just past Seven Locks Road on River Road, the two condo buildings and 44 townhomes at Quarry Springs offer easy access to Washington, Bethesda and Potomac and the rest of the metro area by way of I-270 and the Beltway.

You are just outside the Beltway near Seven Locks Road and a short drive to the Potomac River. You can easily be in downtown Bethesda in 15 minutes for dinner or pulling into the Kennedy Center parking garage for a concert in 30 minutes! If you are a golfer or tennis player, you will love this location. There are 5 country clubs within 3 miles, including Congressional, Burning Tree, Bethesda, Kenwood and Avenel.
Quarry Springs is also close to the Westfield Mall and Cabin John Park with all that is offered there.

Whitley Park
A bit further north and somewhat outside the buzz of downtown Bethesda is Whitley Park. The one hundred and sixteen condos at Whitley Park were built in 1990 to provide the owners with lots of living space and balconies. The condos range from 1184 square feet to over 2000 square feet. The condos have one to three bedrooms. Terraces and balconies offer outdoor space and room for grilling in the summer and al fresco dining.
