Rock Creek Woods Historic District, Historic district in Montgomery County, Maryland, United States.

Rock Creek Woods Historic District spans 28 acres in a wooded valley between two creeks near Connecticut Avenue in Montgomery County.

The district features 74 Contemporary houses designed by Charles Goodman and constructed by developers Herschel and Marvin Blumberg between 1958 and 1961.

During the 1960s, the neighborhood established itself as a center for Jewish residents and individuals actively participating in liberal causes.

The district maintains its original layout with unaltered roads, lot configurations, and sidewalks, making it an excellent example of mid-century suburban planning.

This residential development represents the Modern Movement architectural style through its collection of Contemporary houses in a natural woodland setting.
