In his book, "Bethesda: A Social History," William Offutt calls AltaVista Bethesda's first "real neighborhood" and dates one of the houses still standing, on the 5500 block of Beech Avenue, to the 1880s, or possibly earlier with an 1880s redo.
One of the house's endearing quirks is that it faces not the street, but the former trolley line that once ran from Washington to AltaVista.
Offutt quotes a 1910 sales brochure for a new AltaVista subdivision claiming that it was "the only subdivision around Washington which is laid out according to the topography of the land, giving each lot a good building site with a fine view of the surrounding country, the beauties of which are second to none."
