Woodmoor: Beautiful houses, no relatives required

The Silver Spring neighborhood of Woodmoor is quintessential suburban America, an enclave of about 700 homes well-known for the number of extended families that live there.

There is an abundance of dogwood, cherry and maple trees, giving a nod to the neighborhood name, and a spirit of community that draws people in. In 2006, Washingtonian Magazine named Woodmoor a “greatest place to live.”
