Welcome to Washington DC Suburbs

Montgomery County, considered a Washington, D.C. suburb because of its proximity to the nation’s capital, is one of the most affluent areas in all of Maryland. More than one million residents call Montgomery County real estate home and are divided among such cities as Bethesda, Gaithersburg, Silver Spring, and Rockville. Many of these are families attracted by the county’s excellent, nationally recognized schools, which serve over 139,000 students. But the county is just as popular among commuters and business travelers, thanks to its accessibility; Montgomery County is located on the red line of the Metro and is within easy driving distance of three major airports, Ronald Regan Washington National Airport, Washington Dulles International Airport, and Baltimore-Washington Thurgood Marshall Airport.

Rockville is the county seat of Montgomery County. It is also one of the county’s largest cities, with more than 60,000 residents. Because it sits at the heart of the I-270 Technology corridor and is only a short distance from D.C. via Metro, Rockville real estate offers an ideal choice for business professionals. Yet the city is also known for its many amenities, including several upscale regional shopping centers and the popular Rockville Town Center, a pedestrian-friendly mixed-use destination. It’s no wonder, then, that Rockville real estate was ranked as one of the “100 Best Places to Live” by Money Magazine.

Also ranked as one of the “100 Best Places to Live” is Gaithersburg, another Montgomery County city. Not only is the city home to a number of major employers, but it is also on Metro’s red line. This makes Gaithersburg real estate extremely popular among commuters and business professionals. But Gaithersburg also offers a large selection of appealing residential communities such as Kentlands, a New Urbanist neighborhood built in 1988. As a result, the city’s population numbers more than 57,000.

In short, whether you’re looking to relocate or upgrade, Montgomery County has something for everyone, from great schools, ample job opportunities, a wide selection of amenities, and quick and easy access to downtown D.C.
