WHERE WE LIVE | Many original owners still live in the North Bethesda neighborhood.
For Sheryl and Michael Wilbon, the decision to move to build a home in the North Bethesda neighborhood of Wildwood Estates was a marital compromise. Michael, a former Washington Post sportswriter who now co-hosts ESPN’s “Pardon the Interruption,” wanted to stay in Virginia, where they had lived in Fairfax; Sheryl, an attorney, wanted to move back home to D.C.
Sandy MacCracken, another founding resident who moved from Chevy Chase with her husband, Michael, said she and her neighbors forgo backyard fences in favor of an open, communal green space that they had co-designed by the same landscaper. As the homeowners have aged in place, the neighborhood has changed, too. When many of MacCracken’s neighbors had young children, they used to meet up in the backyard for wine and cheese in the afternoon and watch the children play. Now, those kids have started families of their own, but the neighbors still find opportunities to gather. MacCracken said that she loves giving out homemade cookies on Halloween and that she has warm memories of snowstorms that became ad hoc street parties.
Michael Villa, president of the association, said annual fees are $1,200. Tree management tends to be the biggest challenge, he said; last year, a storm blew down several, and the HOA had to replace them. MacCracken also mentioned a hailstorm that hit the neighborhood about three years ago, resulting in substantial roof damage. The HOA helped residents to coordinate a palette of colors for replacement roofs as insurance companies conducted repairs.
