Sumner falls within the 20816 zip code and is an unincorporated area governed by Montgomery County.

During the Civil War, Sumner was the site of batteries belonging to Fort Sumner, a three-fort defensive Union facility.

Sumner was established as a neighborhood in 1947 by a real estate developer called the W.C. and A.N. Miller Development Company, which continues to be the leading privately owned real estate development company in the Washington DC area.

In the postwar years, the Miller company marketed Sumner as a planned community with luxury homes representing the American dream. The value of Sumner real estate has continued to increase in value throughout the decades since then. The median home value in Sumner has surpassed one million dollars.

Sumner real estate is popular with urban professionals who commute to DC and want to live in a close in community without giving up the ease of city life.

From the first 15 residents who signed up with the Miller company, Sumner has grown into what it is a today, a neighborhood of about 15,500, making it one of the largest neighborhoods in Bethesda by population. If you are interested in Sumner real estate, call me, or drop me a line.
