Living in Woodmoor

An overview of Woodmoor, its 1940s houses, its shopping center and the stream valley behind it.
Woodmoor occupies the northeast corner of Four Corners, where Colesville Road (US 29) crosses University Boulevard in Silver Spring. Colesville Road runs along one side, University Boulevard along another, the Capital Beltway lies to the southeast and the Northwest Branch stream valley closes the far edge. The area on this page is approximate. It is drawn around recent sales that carried the Woodmoor name in the MLS, and it also picks up a few sales labeled Indian Spring Village and Four Corners. Every one of the 40 sales in the past year was a detached house. The first houses went up in the late 1930s, and most of the neighborhood was built in the 1940s and 1950s. Cape Cods and colonials are the main types, with a few ranches, and many have been remodeled or expanded. Streets curve with the terrain, and many carry the -moor suffix: Lynnmoor, Eastmoor, Hillmoor, Brookmoor. The Woodmoor Shopping Center sits at the Four Corners intersection, and many homes can reach it on foot without crossing either main road. It has a pharmacy, a coffee shop, a bakery, a deli and other small shops. Pine Crest Elementary School is inside the neighborhood, and Montgomery Blair High School is just across University Boulevard; confirm school assignments with the district’s locator. Behind the houses, the Northwest Branch stream valley has miles of wooded trail along the water. There is no Metrorail station in Woodmoor. Frequent buses, including Flash bus rapid transit, run down Colesville Road to the Silver Spring station on the Red Line, about two miles south. The Beltway interchanges at Colesville Road and University Boulevard are both close, which makes driving in any direction direct. The trade-off is traffic noise for the houses nearest those roads. I’m glad to show you how individual blocks differ and what recent Woodmoor sales suggest about value.

Key Highlights:

  • Housing character — Detached Cape Cods and colonials, mostly from the 1940s and 1950s, many remodeled or expanded
  • Green space — Northwest Branch stream valley and its wooded trails along the neighborhood's far edge
  • Daily essentials — Woodmoor Shopping Center at Four Corners, reachable on foot from many homes
  • Transit — Flash and local buses on Colesville Road to Silver Spring on the Red Line, about two miles south
  • Schools — Montgomery County Public Schools; Pine Crest Elementary is in the neighborhood and Montgomery Blair High is across University Boulevard; boundaries change starting in 2027-28, so confirm by address
  • Market character — 40 detached sales in the past year at a median near $680,000; a small sample

In-Depth Market Analysis

Woodmoor Market Insights

How pricing trends, absorption rates, and inventory levels are shaping buying and selling

Inventory & Absorption

Woodmoor recorded 40 closed sales in the 12 months through September 2026, up from 32 the year before, and every one was a detached house. The median time on the market was about 16 days, compared with about 10 days a year earlier. With a sample this small, a handful of sales can move the figures, so they are best read as a general indication of pace and not a precise measure.

Pricing Dynamics

The median sale price was about $680,000, down roughly 7 percent from $735,000 in the prior 12 months. Because only 40 homes sold, that change reflects which houses happened to sell as much as any shift in value; the median price per square foot rose from $343 to $358. Sales ranged from $440,000 to $1,150,000, and sellers received about 97 percent of the original list price on average.

Buyer Profile

Demand here is for detached houses from the 1940s and 1950s, and the wide price range, from $440,000 to $1,150,000, tracks size and renovation level more than location within the neighborhood. Sixteen of the 40 sales closed at or above the original list price. Houses that were expanded or fully updated occupy the upper part of the range, while smaller houses in original condition sell toward the lower end.

Strategic Outlook

The past year brought more sales, a somewhat longer marketing period and a lower median price alongside a higher price per square foot. That mix suggests a market that is active but more price-sensitive than a year ago, and that smaller houses made up more of what sold. The small sample limits how much weight any one figure can bear, and none of it predicts future prices.

Market Position Overview:

Inventory Level: Balanced with selective competition

Negotiation Environment: Moderate flexibility

Typical Days on Market: 25-45 (well-priced units)

Rental Demand: Consistent due to transit proximity

Long- Term Outlook: Stable, walkability-driven value

Woodmoor Housing & Architecture

Woodmoor is a single-product neighborhood of detached houses, built mostly in the 1940s and 1950s on curving streets beside the Northwest Branch.
Cape Cods
The most common Woodmoor house: a compact one-and-a-half-story plan from the 1940s, often brick, with bedrooms tucked under the roof. Many have rear additions or dormers that add living space without changing the street view.
Colonials
Two-story brick and frame colonials from the 1940s and 1950s sit alongside the Cape Cods. They generally offer more bedrooms on the upper floor and make up much of the middle and upper part of the price range.
Late-1930s Originals
The first Woodmoor houses went up in the late 1930s, and three of the past year’s sales were built in that decade. They are similar in scale to the 1940s houses around them and are mixed in among later streets.
Ranches and Later Houses
A few single-story ranches are scattered through the neighborhood among the Cape Cods and colonials, and an occasional later house appears; one of the past year’s sales was built in the 1980s.
Expanded and Renovated Houses
Many original houses have been remodeled or enlarged. Sales in the past year reached $1,150,000, and the larger, updated houses account for the top of the range. Unrenovated houses started at $440,000.
Woodmoor Shopping Center
The neighborhood’s retail corner at Colesville Road and University Boulevard. A pharmacy, a coffee shop, a bakery, a deli and small shops sit in a center that many homes can reach on foot.
