Explore a World of Opportunities on the New Ave!

get to know the New Ave:

Walking Tours   I   Find a cornicopia of goods to taste, feel, smell, listen to and admire and we've put together downloadable guides to lead the way.

Neighborhoods   I   With homes dating from the 1910's, 1940's and the sixties, each neighborhood has a unique character already discovered by residents.  Most are shaded with leafy full grown trees, feature well kept gardens, and tidy brick stoops or wooden porches.

Parks, Gardens, and Nature   I   The jewel of Takoma Park, the Sligo Creek Stream Valley, straddles the New Ave, with multiple playgrounds, picnic areas, and several community gardens, providing green space for everyone.

Faith   I   Whether you are exploring or grew up grounded in a tradition, there is a wealth of spiritual guidance (in a variety of languages) available to any seeker.
