The second largest city in the state, Rockville is the county seat of Montgomery County and is home to more than 55,000 Rockville real estate owners. In addition to its proximity to the many job opportunities offered by Washington, D.C., the city is also considered the core of the I-270 technology corridor; it is also home to such major employers as the federal government and the local campuses of the University of Maryland University College and Johns Hopkins University. And Rockville real estate is extremely accessible, served by two Metro stations, Metrobus, and the Maryland Area Rail Commuter, and Amtrak. This makes Rockville real estate especially desirable among commuters and business travelers.

Rockville boasts an exceptionally long history dating back to 8000 B.C., and efforts have been made by the non-profit Peerless Rockville organization to restore and preserve some of the area’s most notable historic landmarks. These include the Wire Hardware Company, Old St. Mary’s Church, and the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Station, dating back to the 1870s. Many of Rockville’s neighborhoods are well-established; however, newer, mixed-use developments have also sprung up, like the Palladian Condominiums and Fenestra Apartments of Rockville Town Square.

The city’s abundant job opportunities, wealth of amenities, including excellent public schools, ample retail and dining establishments, make Rockville real estate a great investment.
