WHERE WE LIVE | The Bethesda, Md., neighborhood’s convenient location and schools are a draw for buyers.
Maggie, 36, grew up in Huntington Terrace. She had her heart set on living near her family, who were still there, and helping the community thrive, just as she and her parents had done. When a house came up for sale in 2017, she and John, 37, were outbid. But Maggie refused to give up and wrote a letter to the sellers.
Huntington Terrace has neighbors with a mix of ages and varied occupations, Maggie said. “On one corner could be a NASA scientist and on another, a world-renowned author.” Sokolove, who worked in industrial design before retiring, points out that Suburban Hospital, where his wife worked for 38 years, is the biggest property owner in the community. He said they’re “good neighbors,” but expansion efforts about 14 years ago threatened to remove 23 houses in Huntington Terrace. After many court battles, the sides settled, and Sokolove and other activists saved 13 houses from destruction.
Association dues are $20 annually and are voluntary. John and Maggie Bree said the money collected goes toward at least three events, including a Memorial Day party and Fourth of July get-together, along with various block parties and maintaining the community’s Triangle Garden.The Brees are particularly proud of the garden, which features plants native to Maryland.
