About Woodside
Forest
Woodside Forest, located between Downtown Silver Spring and Sligo Creek Park, is a residential and leafy Silver Spring neighborhood with curving streets and a canopy of mature trees. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Georgia Avenue–Colesville Road junction by Ellsworth Drive, where sidewalks funnel toward indie eateries, coffee counters, and small storefronts. Early-20th-century bungalows and Tudors sit on deep lots, with stone steps and porch lines that shape the streetscape. Trailheads and footbridges along Sligo Creek set a nature-forward rhythm for walks and bike rides. AFI Silver Theatre and Cultural Center, Quarry House Tavern, and Denizens Brewing Co. act as local pillars for film, late-night bites, and craft pours. The Metro at Silver Spring ties the calm blocks to the region’s rail network.
