In the heart of Bethesda, nestled amidst a tranquil wooded preserve, lies The Astrid – a new apartment community embodying the spirit of Scandinavian simplicity and comfort.
The Astrid is named after Princess Astrid of Norway, whose trans-Atlantic journey during World War II brought her family to Bethesda, where she found a home in the community and warmth still prevalent in the area today.
The Astrid may sound straight out of a fairytale, but you don’t have to live “far, far away” to experience the comfort, warmth and simplicity of Scandinavian-inspired living. Tucked in a wooded preserve just minutes from downtown Bethesda, The Astrid offers more than 560 studio, one-, and two-bedroom homes that introduce residents to the perfect blend of nature’s zen and the hygge state of mind.
In Danish culture, hygge is a concept marked by coziness, comfort and enjoying the little things in life. From the moment residents step in the front doors of The Astrid, they are greeted with the vision of lush green space with the Eco Courtyard and Great Lawn at the center of the building, just beyond floor-to-ceiling glass. Whether playing bocce with friends or curling up with a book by the fire pit, nature’s restfulness and serenity are right at guests’ fingertips.
The Astrid’s nature-forward, light-filled spaces create a serene haven removed from the bustle of city life. Outfitted with modern quartz countertops with full-height ceramic backsplash, stainless steel appliances, in-unit washers and dryers and more, The Astrid creates inviting, balanced living spaces.
Hygge isn’t just a term – it’s a lifestyle. No matter how you choose to embrace hygge, The Astrid boasts inspiring amenities that encourage wellness and contentment. Residents can stretch their mind and soul in the fitness and yoga studio, find focus in the coworking area or unwind in a selection of lounges including a speakeasy lounge with a billiards table, a rooftop dining lounge and several outdoor seating options in the lush courtyard. Elevated service offerings such as curated resident events, concierge-style service, 24-hour on-call maintenance and secure delivery acceptance are just some of the many details that make living at the Astrid extraordinary.
Spending time with loved ones is another hygge staple, and what better way to do so than exploring all that Bethesda has to offer? The town hums with the thrill of modern nightlife, curated shopping experiences, fine dining and a vibrant arts scene – all minutes away from The Astrid. And to satisfy that city life craving, Washington, DC is easily accessible via the Red Line metro. The Astrid even offers residents an on-site executive shuttle service providing effortless access to the Medical Center station.
