Introduction
Bethesda, Maryland - an Urbanized area in Montgomery County

Bethesda borders Washington DC on the northwest. With the construction of the Metrorail from downtown Washington DC directly through Bethesda, what used to be an overgrown shopping area is now full of high rise buildings with both commercial and residential occupants. Bethesda is the home of the National Institute of Health and the National Naval Medical Center. Hundreds of restaurants have located in downtown Bethesda as well as shops, bookstores and theaters. There are a mix of single family residential neighborhoods that were first developed in the 1930’s and are still being built today. You will also find townhouse communities, garden apartments and high-rise condominiums.
