About Luxmanor

Luxmanor is one of North Bethesda's oldest planned subdivisions, with roots dating to 1934 when Shannon & Luchs Development Co. announced 190 homes on 94 acres of the former Riley Plantation. The first homes were brick bungalows on half-acre lots along Old Georgetown Road, Tilden Lane, and Sedgwick Lane. Post-war builders including R.L. Willis and the Gruver-Cooley Corporation expanded the neighborhood through the 1950s and 1960s.

Today the broader Luxmanor area encompasses approximately 900 households across three sub-neighborhoods: the original Luxmanor, Windermere (built 1970–2000), and The Oaks (built 2003–2005). Homes range from original mid-century colonials and ramblers to substantial new construction on lots of one-third acre and larger. A Realtor who knows the differences between these sections is key when buying or selling here.

The Luxmanor Citizens Association (LCA), founded on January 1, 1938, is a voluntary civic association serving the community. With about 600 dues-paying member households, the LCA advocates before local government, organizes community events, and negotiates group discounts such as reduced trash-pickup rates.
