Friendship Heights Village: A Small Yet Convenient Community

Friendship Heights Village — often referred to as "Friendship Heights," though DC's Friendship Heights is adjacent to this village in Maryland — was established in 1914 as a special tax district, and the area covers just 32 acres. Residents are within easy reach of the Friendship Heights Metro station and the upscale shopping destinations, such as The Shops at Wisconsin Place and Mazza Gallerie, that line Wisconsin Avenue.

Sidewalks, highrise condominiums, restaurants, and retailers line the streets throughout Friendship Heights Village and give residents a more urban way of life, though the village's parks offer a quiet respite from the hustle and bustle of Wisconsin Avenue.

What to Consider About Living in Friendship Heights Village

Though the Friendship Heights Village Council is empowered to levy the tax rate up to $0.10 per $100, the current property tax rate is $0.04 per $100. The taxes provide village services that include snow removal, shuttle bus service for residents, and security patrol.

The Friendship Heights Village Center at the center of the community has facilities that can be rented for private celebrations, including the auditorium and classrooms. Residents can also enjoy recreational programs and a small farmers' market at the village center.

Commuting to Washington, DC
