About D'Ann Melnick
An Aspen Hill, 20853 Realtor who blends tech with a personal touch.
I am D'Ann Melnick, a licensed real estate Associate Broker with eXp Realty and a Military Relocation Professional (MRP) and Certified Residential Specialist (CRS). After graduating from The University of Texas, I started in real estate with a major production home builder, earned my license in 2003, and earned my Associate Broker's license in 2005 before relocating to the Washington, D.C. metro. I serve buyers, sellers, and renters across Aspen Hill and Montgomery County under Maryland license #669234.
I love problem solving, but I believe in business with a personal touch. A bit of a techie, you will rarely see me without my iPhone or laptop, so it is always easy to reach me. Whether you are finding your first apartment or closing on a multi million dollar home, my dedication to my clients is the same. My husband and I own a condo in the Rockville and North Bethesda area, so I have roots all over the D.C. metro.
Giving back matters to me. I have volunteered with Bethesda Cares, the Montgomery County Coalition for the Homeless, and World Central Kitchen, served on boards fighting Alzheimer's disease with Blondes vs. Brunettes, and now serve on the Board of Directors for Hero Dogs, which provides service dogs free of charge to veterans and first responders with a disability.

How I Work
Buy, sell, or rent across Aspen Hill, guided street by street.
Aspen Hill is an established community in Montgomery County, Maryland, about six miles north of Washington, D.C., roughly bounded by Norbeck Road, Veirs Mill Road, Rock Creek, and Bel Pre Creek. Its midcentury ramblers, Cape Cods, and colonials sit on tree-lined streets in pockets like Manor Woods, Bel Pre Woods, and Strathmore at Bel Pre. Value here turns on the lot, the street, and how the home has been updated, so a countywide average tells you very little. I bring more than two decades of local closings and a clear read on the numbers to every Aspen Hill buyer and seller.
We help you:
- Buy the right Aspen Hill home, from a starter rambler to a renovated colonial
- Sell for top dollar with Aspen Hill comps worked street by street
- Rent or lease with guidance for tenants, owners, and relocating families

Listing Marketing
Your Aspen Hill home, marketed like a campaign, not a yard sign.
Aspen Hill sells on the details, not just a sign in the yard. As of spring 2026, the median sale price sat near $620,000, up about 0.8% over the year, with homes going to contract in a median near 35 days. I price each home against recent sales on its own street, because an updated colonial in Manor Woods can sell far apart from an original rambler a few blocks over.
Then I prep it, shoot it, and launch it across Zillow, Redfin, Realtor.com, and Homes.com on day one, using eXp Showcase for a virtual tour and interactive floor plan. Aspen Hill buyers compare homes side by side, so the listing that prices right and shows best wins the offer. I handle staging guidance, professional media, and timing built around your goals.

Property Presentation
Photos that turn a quick scroll into an Aspen Hill showing.
Most buyers form an opinion about an Aspen Hill home from the first few photos, before they ever call. Midcentury ramblers and colonials look great in pictures when you capture the light, the layout, and the flow from inside to out. So for every listing, I arrange professional photography and a floor plan.
Good photos get you more views online, more showings, and better offers. For an Aspen Hill home, that means showing off the natural light, the updated kitchen, and the backyard people can see themselves enjoying. Buyers remember a home that looks cared for, and they pay more for it.

Local Knowledge
Living in Aspen Hill, 20853.
Aspen Hill is an established community in Montgomery County, Maryland, about six miles north of Washington, D.C. The area takes its name from aspen trees near its first post office, which opened around 1864 at what is now the Connecticut and Georgia Avenue corridor. Built largely in the 1950s through the 1970s, it mixes midcentury ramblers, Cape Cods, and colonials across pockets like Manor Woods, Bel Pre Woods, and Strathmore at Bel Pre. It sits mainly in ZIP code 20853, minutes from Rock Creek Regional Park, the Aspen Hill Shopping Center, and the Glenmont Metro. Here is what buyers ask me most.
What are homes in Aspen Hill like?
Aspen Hill is known for 1950s through 1970s ramblers, Cape Cods, and colonials on tree-lined streets with generous lots. Many have been updated or expanded over the years. About 52% of homes are detached single-family, with townhomes and condos in pockets like Aspen Knolls and Hermitage Park. The median year built is around 1970.

Many residents work nearby at NIH, the FDA, and across the BioHealth Capital Region.
Source: U.S. Census ACS via Data USA (2024).Is Aspen Hill a good place to invest?
Aspen Hill draws steady demand thanks to its location just north of D.C., strong Montgomery County schools, and limited inventory. Homes go to contract in a median near 35 days, and homeownership sits near 65%. Larger midcentury lots offer room to update or expand, and proximity to major employers supports long-term rental demand. I help investors run the numbers first.

Aspen Hill stays one of the more sought-after values in Montgomery County, with steady demand for midcentury single-family homes and limited supply on the best streets. The lot, the street, and the quality of the updates drive value far more than any countywide average, so an original rambler and a renovated colonial in Manor Woods can live in different worlds. Many sales cluster in the $500,000s and $600,000s, while larger homes push into the $700,000s and $800,000s.
The Aspen Hill median sale price was about $620,000 in spring 2026, up roughly 0.8% over the year, with homes going to contract in a median near 35 days. Across Montgomery County, prices rose about 6.6% to a $695,000 median. That pace stays competitive, and well-priced, well-presented homes still draw multiple offers. Inventory remains tight, which keeps Aspen Hill resilient, and the right home, priced and shown well, still moves quickly.
For Buyers
Inventory is thin, especially for updated single-family homes, so the right property can move while overpriced ones sit. I help you act decisively when it appears, write a clean and strong offer, and read the comps so you do not overpay. When a home has lingered, I tell you why before you fall for it.
For Sellers
Aspen Hill buyers compare every home side by side, so your price and presentation decide the outcome. I prep the home, price it against recent sales on your street, and put it in front of buyers everywhere they look with eXp Showcase. A sharp, accurate launch protects your final number far better than starting high.

Local Roots
The story behind Aspen Hill.
Aspen Hill grew from rural crossroads and farmland into one of Montgomery County's established postwar communities. Here is how this corner of the county, just north of Washington, D.C., went from a country post office to a planned suburb of ramblers and colonials.
1864
A Name From Aspen Trees
The community's name comes from aspen trees that grew near its first post office, which opened around 1864 in a general store on the old Washington-Brookeville Pike, now the corner of Connecticut and Georgia Avenues.
Source: Wikipedia: Aspen Hill.1920s
Aspin Hill Pet Cemetery
In the 1920s and 1930s, the area was known for Aspin Hill Memorial Park, one of just three pet cemeteries then on the East Coast. Dogs that served in World War I and beloved local pets were buried and honored there.
Source: Wikipedia: Aspen Hill.1950
The Postwar Boom Begins
In July 1950, attorney Louis M. Denit sold about 517 acres of Aspen Hill land to Gelman Construction for roughly $300,000. The company planned 2,450 three-bedroom ramblers, along with a shopping center, schools, and churches.
Source: Wikipedia: Aspen Hill.1955
The Last Large Tract
In January 1955, Minnie Goodman sold about 268 acres, the last large vacant tract between Rockville and Wheaton, to Metropolitan Homes. The builder planned thousands of homes, schools, and shopping centers, with prices starting near $15,000.

Strathmore at Bel Pre
Levitt and Sons, famous for Levittown, opened Strathmore at Bel Pre in 1968 with larger wooded lots, curving streets, and underground utilities. Its atrium ranch and colonial models added a step up in the local housing market.

A Community Takes Shape
By the 1980s, Aspen Hill had filled in as the established suburb it remains today. The Aspen Hill Civic Association, founded in 1985, continues to represent residents and steward the area's parks, schools, and identity.

FAQ
Aspen Hill real estate questions, answered.
Start by getting pre-approved so you know your budget, then tell me your must-haves. Aspen Hill is competitive, with limited inventory and updated homes that draw strong interest. I set up tailored searches, tour homes with you, and guide you through offers, inspections, and closing.
Selling well starts with accurate pricing and strong presentation, then real marketing exposure. I price using current comparable sales on your street, prepare the home to show its best, and promote it across Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, and Homes.com with eXp Showcase. In a fast Aspen Hill market, a sharp launch protects your final price.
As of spring 2026, the Aspen Hill median sale price was about $620,000, up roughly 0.8% over the year, with homes going to contract in a median near 35 days. Aspen Hill holds value through tight inventory of midcentury single-family homes, so block-by-block comps matter most.
Buyer closing costs in Maryland typically run about 3% to 5% of the price, covering lender fees, title work, and state and county transfer and recordation taxes. Seller costs include agent compensation plus prep and any concessions. Commission is negotiable and agreed in writing up front. I walk you through a clear estimate before you commit.
Most single-family homes in Aspen Hill are standard parcels with no community-wide HOA, though some communities like Strathmore at Bel Pre have an association for shared amenities, and condos carry monthly dues. Aspen Hill is an established, mostly built-out area, so new construction is rare. I confirm any HOA or condo fees for a specific property before you write an offer.
Aspen Hill is served by Montgomery County Public Schools. Depending on the street, students attend elementary schools like Bel Pre, Strathmore, or Flower Valley, then Earle B. Wood, Parkland, or Argyle middle schools, and Rockville, Wheaton, or Kennedy high schools. Always confirm the exact attendance zone for an address with MCPS.
Yes. As a Military Relocation Professional, I work with relocating and remote buyers often, using video tours, neighborhood briefings, and digital signing so you can move forward from anywhere. I help you understand commute times to NIH, the FDA, and downtown D.C., school options, and which Aspen Hill pockets fit your lifestyle and budget.
First-time buyers usually need steady income, a credit profile a lender can work with, and funds for a down payment and closing. Maryland offers down payment and closing cost assistance through the Maryland Mortgage Program for qualified buyers. The first step is a lender pre-approval, then you shop within a budget you are comfortable with.
A contingency is a condition that must be met for the sale to proceed. Common ones cover inspection, financing, and appraisal. They protect you by giving an exit if a problem appears, like a failed inspection or a low appraisal. I structure contingencies that protect you without weakening your offer.
Escrow is a neutral third party that holds funds and documents during the transaction. Your deposit sits in escrow until closing, then is applied to your purchase. In Maryland, a title company or settlement agent typically handles this and makes sure money and the deed change hands correctly. I coordinate with them so nothing slips through the cracks.
Aspen Hill can work well for the right investor. Steady demand, strong Montgomery County schools, proximity to major employers, and limited inventory support a long-term position, with larger midcentury lots that allow updates or additions. I bring a clear, numbers-first approach and help you run them before you buy.
Downtown Washington, D.C. is about a 30 minute drive south off-peak, and the Glenmont Metro station on the Red Line is about 10 minutes away. Bethesda and NIH are about 20 minutes, Rockville about 15, Reagan National Airport about 35 minutes, and BWI about 40 minutes.
Aspen Hill rewards local knowledge that a one-size-fits-all model cannot match. Pricing and demand shift from Manor Woods to Bel Pre Woods to Strathmore, and the lot, updates, and exact street change value block by block. An agent who tracks the schools, the inventory, and the most recent sales gives you sharper pricing and a stronger position when it is time to negotiate.
