Welcome to Olney, MD

Originally a small agricultural village dating back to 1800, Olney has only recently bloomed into an affluent Washington suburb just 20 miles north of the city. As testament to its appeal and popularity, the town was ranked by Money Magazine as one of the nation’s best places to live in 2007. This is due not only to such attractions as the Olney Ale house, the Olney Theatre, and the Sandy Spring Museum, but also to such beloved community events as the Olney Days Celebration and the Fourth of July Picnic. As a result, more than 32,000 Olney real estate owners call the town home.

Olney real estate is known for its small-town atmosphere and family-friendly neighborhoods such as James Creek, Norbeck Grover, Briars Acres, and Olney Mill. Several parks also add to the appeal of Olney real estate, including Cherrywood Park, Longwood Park, and Olney Manor Park. And because Olney is located in Montgomery County, the town is served by some of the nation’s top schools, like the award-winning Brooke Grove Elementary School. This makes Olney real estate especially desirable among families.
