The site is surrounded by mature trees and historic homes, and is located minutes from the Takoma Metro Station.

Currently operating schools can also utilize the property. The R-60 zone permits single-family detached homes and allows for conditional uses that cater to residential, institutional, and community needs. Developers may explore uses such as townhomes or attached units, senior housing, day care or medical facilities, or private educational or religious institutions.
