Crestwood

Crestwood is bounded by 16th Street NW, on the east, Colorado Avenue on the northwest and Rock Creek Park on the west and south. The history of Crestwood can be traced back to colonial land grants from the early 18th century. The land offered an enticing niche of resources: a creek that could power water wheels, a forest for game hunting and, later, recreation.

Originally surveyed as a single estate, Crestwood began its transformation into a residential neighbor in the early 1900s. The pace of development picked up during the years before and after World War II.

Crestwood is an attractive community of single-family residences located three miles from the White House. Residents enjoy easy access to downtown attractions as much as they do a quiet place to call home.

Rock Creek Park is an ideal outlet for those looking to bike, run, jog or walk. The neighboring communities of Mount Pleasant and Columbia Heights offer a wide selection of restaurants as well as access to the metro. An involved and proactive citizens association ensures the preservation of the community and organizes events for all to enjoy.

Crestwood residents are roughly 15 minutes away from Silver Spring by car. No metro station in Crestwood however, residents can pick up the Green and Yellow lines at the Columbia Heights and Georgia Ave./Petworth stations.
