Most of the homes in Wakefield are single-family. There are a few houses remaining from the 19th century. Other houses are mixes of Colonial brick and frame houses, Cape Cods, and contemporaries. Connecticut Avenue has a few condominiums and historic cooperatives, some dating back to the 1920s. This triangular shaped neighborhood is a reflection of its adjacent neighbors of Forest Hills, Chevy Chase, and North Cleveland Park put together in a smaller area. Murch Elementary School is in Wakefield and Alice Deal Junior High and Woodrow Wilson Senior High Schools are just across Nebraska Avenue. Fort Reno Park and its reservoir are also to the near west. Ample shopping can be found on Connecticut and Wisconsin Avenues. Wakefield is part of the land that was granted by Lord Baltimore to Thomas Addison and James Stoddert in 1713 (see history of Chevy Chase). It was also a part of the village that sprang up at the end of the18th Century surrounding the intersection of today's Wisconsin Avenue and River Road that was to be known as Tenleytown (see history of American University Park). Like its adjacent neighbors, development began in Wakefield with the introduction of the trolley lines on Connecticut and Wisconsin Avenues connecting the area to downtown before the 19th century. The Grant Road historic district in Wakefield covers only two blocks and includes less than a dozen houses that date to the mid 1800s.
