Cloverly, MD

For Cloverly, one of the newest changes to daily life is a bus that comes by request. Montgomery County began Ride On Flex Zone 918 in February 2026, adding zero-fare, on-demand weekday service during morning and afternoon peaks. Riders can book trips within Cloverly and neighboring communities or travel along New Hampshire Avenue to White Oak Transit Center, where the network connects with Flash bus rapid transit and other regional services. Fixed-route transit remains part of the picture: weekday Ride On Route 39 stops at Briggs Chaney and Good Hope roads on its way between Briggs Chaney Park and Ride and Glenmont Metrorail station. These options supplement a travel pattern in which Census estimates for 2020 through 2024 put Cloverly's mean trip to work at 34.7 minutes.

Good Hope Neighborhood Recreation Center provides a recognizable community hub between New Hampshire Avenue and Briggs Chaney Road. The 14,000-square-foot building sits within 13.7-acre Good Hope Park and contains a gymnasium, fitness and game rooms, a social hall, and a warming kitchen. A partnership with Strathmore adds art, music, and educational programming, while the park contributes ballfields, lighted tennis and basketball courts, a playground, and a summer spray ground. Nearby Cloverly Park spreads a baseball field, softball fields, a playground, picnic shelter, and four pickleball courts across 15 acres. These shared sites serve a population that the 2020 census counted at 15,285 across 10.07 square miles.
