Welcome!
Strathmore at Bel Pre (SBP), a wonderful neighborhood of single family houses in Aspen Hill, was built by Levitt and Sons (of Levittown Fame) starting in 1968. Noted by the Washington Post for its "community spirit" and the pool that is the centerpiece of the neighborhood, SBP has a very active civic association, which produces a Bugle newsletter, holds an annual summer market/yard sale, and hosts 4th of July activities. The Bel Pre Recreation Association (BPRA) is the governing body for the neighborhood's homeowners association.
The borders of Strathmore at Bel Pre are roughly: Bel Pre Road to the East, Layhill Road to the South, Georgia Ave on the west and Gate of Heaven Cemetery & Hewitt Ave to the North. The closest Metro Station is the Glenmont Station on Metroâs Red Line.
