Silver Spring, MD

Silver Spring sits directly on the District line, with a walkable downtown of restaurants, theaters and offices, and neighborhoods that stretch north toward Wheaton and east toward Colesville and White Oak. It is a convenient base for travelers who split time between Washington and Maryland.

Typical trips

Airport transfers to BWI via the ICC and I-95, to DCA through the District or around the Beltway, and to IAD via the Beltway and Toll Road; concert and event transportation to the downtown music hall and theaters; corporate travel to the federal and media offices in downtown Silver Spring; family and celebration travel from Woodside, Sligo Park Hills and Four Corners; and transfers to Union Station and the Silver Spring Metro and MARC station.

Neighborhoods

Downtown Silver Spring, Woodside, East Silver Spring, Takoma Park, Sligo Park Hills, Four Corners, Forest Glen, Wheaton, Glenmont and White Oak.

Timing notes

Georgia Avenue and Colesville Road carry heavy commuter traffic toward the District, and 16th Street can be slow in the morning. The Beltway is close, which helps for IAD and BWI, and the ICC is the reliable route east. Evening events downtown bring temporary closures around the plaza.
