Residents are drawn by the proximity of the National Institutes of Health across the street, by the County~s Ayrlawn Park at the end of the streets, and by the sense of community exhibited in the annual town picnic and block party. Covering approximately 18.5 acres off Old Georgetown Road, Oakmont consists of just two streets, both sides of Oak Place and the south side of Oakmont Avenue. It was chartered by the State in 1918, and as an incorporated town of Montgomery County, Oakmont collects taxes for use in carrying out its responsibility to maintain its streets, including lighting, and manage sanitation services.
