Enjoy living in a town steeped in local history and character. Glen Echo was first developed as a late 19th-century Chautauqua Assembly, followed by the famous Glen Echo Amusement Park, which operated until 1968. Today, the nearby Glen Echo Park is a thriving cultural arts center, carrying on the tradition of the original Chautauqua. The town's quiet, tree-lined streets feel worlds away, yet you are minutes from everything, including the beautiful Chesapeake & Ohio Canal National Historical Park (C&O Canal) just steps away, perfect for walking, biking, and running. An enviable location, to say the least, and in the Whitman cluster (please confirm with MCPS for Bannockburn ES, Pyle MS, Whitmasn HS.)
Available for just one year to start, the home is professionally managed and ready to welcome new residents! Please email Katherine M.
