The Forest Estates neighborhood of Forest Glen was developed in the 1940s by Jewish real estate developers. The area was formerly rural. Forest Estates was desirable to white Jewish homeowners moving to the suburbs from the city, because some white Christian neighborhoods in Washington, D.C. used antisemitic and racist covenants in real estate to exclude Jews, as well as African-Americans and other people of color. Antisemitic covenants were not used in Forest Estates, however, some Jewish developers used anti-Black covenants to exclude African-Americans. In 1945, Forest Glen Homes purchased land formerly owned by the Getty family, who had farmed the land since 1883. The houses in Forest Estates began construction in 1947. The Forest Glen Homes real estate company included Leo Minskoff, Sadie Milestone, Philip Milestone, and several others. Other builders in Forest Glen included the Russian immigrant Nathan Brisker and the Italian immigrant Anthony Campitelli. [7]
Forest Glen station was originally planned to be built above-ground, which would have required the demolition of about fifteen homes. [8] After community opposition to the above-ground station, Montgomery County approved a modified plan for an underground station. [8] The community also opposed the originally planned location for the station, on the east side of Georgia Avenue between Sherwood Road and Tilton Drive. [9] The station opened on September 22, 1990. [10] [11] Forest Glen station is 160 feet (49 m) below ground, the deepest train station in the Metrorail system. [10]
Forest Glen has been the subject of redevelopment for many years. In 2017, Montgomery County Park and Planning Commission began the consolidated Forest Glen/Montgomery Hills sector plan review. [12]
In 2018, WMATA announced that it would do a feasibility study on the redevelopment of the 8-acre (32,000 m2) parking lot of Forest Glen station.
