Bethesda is one of the primary business hubs in Montgomery County, Maryland, just northwest of Washington, DC. Located on the Red Line, downtown Bethesda has many highrise office and residential buildings. It is also famous as the home of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Bethesda's Central Business District features a dense collection of office, hotel, and residential buildings centered on a metro station. Bethesda is unincorporated, and shares mailing addresses with neighboring areas, including North Bethesda and Potomac. Additional highrise buildings can be found in these cities also.
