When completed, Quarry Springs at Stoneyhurst will include 97 condos.
Bethesda’s vibrant downtown draws young couples, single professionals, and empty-nesters looking for city convenience and suburban comforts. The heart of the community is Bethesda Row, a mix of sidewalk cafes, art galleries, and shops clustered near the Metro. In 2008, a pedestrian mall called Bethesda Lane opened, adding even more attractions. And the mix continues to evolve—according to the Bethesda Urban Partnership, about 30 restaurants have opened within the last year.
Coldwell Banker agent Diana Keeling says Bethesda’s walkability is a big draw. “People can walk everywhere—to restaurants, to the movies, to the Metro.” Residents also rave about the easy commute to jobs and good public schools.
