Children Are Growing Bethesda

Have you noticed a change in Bethesda? Based on the 2010 Census, the city’s population has increased by 5.7 percent since the year 2000. What makes up the difference? According to an article on the Bethesda Gazette website, the factor growing Bethesda is children.

Ken Hartman, director of the Bethesda-Chevy Chase Regional Services Center, stated, “Every house has got a school-age child, and that wasn’t the case 10 years ago.”  And while some seniors have left the area, many have chosen to stay resulting in community support programs called “Senior Villages” that help get young families involved with seniors to bridge the area’s age gap.

The great schools in Bethesda are one of the biggest draws for young families, specifically Walt Whitman, Walter Johnson, and Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School. As a result, the elementary and middle schools that feed into these high schools are also seeing increased enrollment, so Montgomery County is looking into building new elementary and middle schools in Bethesda.

There isn’t a lot of space for new development in this area, so it’s the turnover of single family homes that fuels the real estate market, particularly those surrounding the downtown area which young families prefer. According to the Bethesda Urban Partnership, children’s activity centers and child-friendly restaurants are popping up all over downtown Bethesda. Anjali Varma, owner of Kidville, an early childhood learning center, says you’ll see “stroller after stroller” along Bethesda Avenue.

So if you’re looking for a great place for your children to grow, consider Bethesda, since it’s going to grow right along with them!
