WELCOME
Welcome to Strathmore at Bel Pre!
Strathmore at Bel Pre (SBP) is a vibrant neighborhood of single-family homes in the Aspen Hill area of Silver Spring, Maryland. Developed by Levitt & Sons beginning in 1968, our community has grown into a place where neighbors come together, families put down roots, and a strong sense of community continues to thrive.
From our wooded trails and open spaces to neighborhood traditions and community gatherings, SBP has plenty to explore and enjoy. Our active civic, recreation and village organizations help keep neighbors connected and engaged throughout the year.
