Just minutes from the nation’s capital, perfectly situated in the center of three major thoroughfares, and conveniently located on Metrorail’s Red Line, Wheaton is in the center of it all.
From a world-class botanical garden, a nationally renowned music center, and one of the region’s largest shopping centers; to specialty shops, award-winning restaurants, and outdoor events, Wheaton boasts activities and attractions that are as eclectic and diverse as its residents.
And with revitalization in progress and major growth on the horizon, Wheaton is the ideal location for businesses, residents and visitors alike.
Chuck Levin's Washington Music Center is the largest independent music store in the country and a Wheaton institution since 1968.
The Clean and Safe teams (recognizable by their red shirts) provide landscaping, maintenance and concierge services to the businesses and patrons in the Urban District. Their goal is to make Wheaton a better place to live, visit, and do business by improving the appearance of the downtown and fostering a safe and inviting environment.
