In Chevy Chase or BCC (Bethesda Chevy Chase) downtown has moved uptown. A once quiet residential community of single family homes now includes modern apartments, townhouses, condos, retail, hotel, and office complexes. Providing a vibrant place to shop, dine and to do business, BCC, an unincorporated community, has become a major employment center and provides a significant number of jobs for its residents. BCC shares its borders with the District of Columbia (south), Potomac River (west), Rock Creek Park (east) and Rockville (north).

The Village contains about 200 single-family residences and a few religious and professional establishments. We are located between Connecticut Avenue, on the western boundary, and Jones Bridge Road to the south. To the north is the Capitol Beltway (US 495) and, beyond that, Rock Creek Park. To the east is an unincorported county residential area.

Across Connecticut, kitty corner from the village is the Howard Hughes Institute, and across Jones Bridge Road from the Village is North Chevy Chase Elementary School. A short distance from the village is Woodend, the Audobon Naturalist Society nature preserve. Next to it is a community swimming pool and recreation association to which village residents may apply for membership.

Convenient to the village are the hiking and biking trails of Rock Creek Park and other public recreational facilities. A short distance from the village is the Chevy Chase public library and the Chevy Chase fire department. Slightly farther is the public library in Kensington. Shopping is convenient in the nearby Chevy Chase market and in Kensington, and major retail outlets may be found in the Wheaton Mall.

Public transportation is available by metrobus on Connecticut Ave. and on Jones Bridge Rd., and during rush hours (6:20 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. and 5:45 p.m. - 8:15 p.m.) a Ride-On bus commutes through the Village on Kensington Parkway between the Medical Center and Glenmont metrorail stations.
