Avalon
at Grosvenor: Avalon is an apartment chain, but a very nice
one at that. This apartment is seriously right next to the Metro, which
is great. You'll pay a bit of premium to live there, though. The
building is fairly new--it was built in 2003.
Grosvenor Tower:
This is on the opposite side of Rockville Pike from the Metro station.
I don't know a ton about this place, but you can see the
reviews on apartmentratings.com for yourself.
Jefferson's at
Inigo's Crossing: This is on the opposite side of Rockville
Pike from the Metro station. This giant complex was built in 2008 and
you can read about the difficulty they've had filling the apartments in
this
Washington Post article.
Parkside Condominiums:
There are often condos for rent here. These are a short step across
Tuckerman Lane from the Metro stop. Check the
newsletter for listings.
NIH
rental listings: The NIH maintains a nice site with all sorts
of rental listings--including rooms in houses, furnished, and long stay
hotels.

Grosvenor (also called Ten Ten One): A high-rise building
with one and two bedroom condos. This is on the opposite side of
Rockville Pike from the Metro station.
Parkside

A small grocery store featuring wonderful local produce and a deli.
They also have a xerox and fax machine, a notary, and postage stamps.
Garrett
Park Farmer's Market: Runs on Saturday mornings during the
summer.
North
Bethesda Market: This shopping center is still under
construction. When completed, it will contain a Whole Foods Market and
other yet unnamed retail outlets.

This trail is currently under construction. It was previously known as
the Bethesda Trolley Trail and connects Bethesda to Rockville and
allows access to the Capital Crescent Trail.
North Bethesda Camera Club:
There appears to be a waiting list to join this group.
Strathmore Music and
Arts Center:
Along with musical and theater performances, the Strathmore also offers
a variety of classes (dance, arts, music, yoga and more). They also
have a small cafe, a gift shop, and an ATM--if you're looking for one
in the neighborhood.
Restaurants
Addie's Restaurant:
a "New American" restaurant. It is the closest restaurant to the
Strathmore Music and Arts Center--if you don't count the cafe that is
inside the Strathmore.
Prelude Cafe: This is
the cafe inside of the Strathmore Music and Art Center. It is open for
lunch most days and two hours before all performances.
