About Northwood
Forest
Northwood Forest, located between University Boulevard W and Sligo Creek Parkway, is a residential and wooded Kemp Mill neighborhood with mid-century split-levels and a creekside greenbelt feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the University Blvd W & Arcola Ave intersection, where small storefronts, casual eateries, and everyday services set a steady, lived-in rhythm. Kemp Mill Shopping Center and Wheaton Arts Parade anchor local routines with independent flavor and community programming. Side streets curve through mature trees, with brick colonials and ramblers mixed into the housing stock. Sligo Creek Trail threads nearby for walking and cycling, linking pocket parks and stream crossings. The setting reads calm and connected, with daily errands and cultural stops close at hand.
