D.C. suburban community with quiet neighborhoods
In the Washington, D.C. suburb of Rockville, the west side of town is known for its late 20th-century residential architecture and suburban streetscapes with grassy lawns and shady trees. A private country club with rolling hills and lakes forms the western border of this residential area, and on the other side, people plant herbs and vegetables in 25 ft. by 25 ft. plots in the community garden. “Houses were built in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s and they’re mostly ramblers or ranchers,” says Neil Bacchus, team leader with the Bacchus Group with eXp Realty and 35-year resident of the area. “It’s where you pay more compared to the east side of town.”
Ramblers and upscale colonials in residential areas
Ramblers and mid-20th century colonials are common in West Rockville, but the neighborhood also has upscale models like brick colonials with rectangular columns and farmers' porches. Brick townhouses sit next to each other in subdivisions, and single-family home communities like Fallsgrove have community pools and playgrounds for kids. Houses sit behind rolling front lawns in enclosed suburban neighborhoods with shady oak trees and sidewalks. Prices range from $367,000 to $1.5 million.
Community gardening and private golf in Rockville, Maryland
Green spaces and parks interweave with West Rockville’s residential streets. Wootton’s Mill Park, which sits at the site of a former saw and gristmill, spans 106 acres. At the park, people fish for trout, walk on paved pathways, play tennis and plant seeds in the community garden. Glenora Park, which spans about 5 acres, has a playground for kids, athletic fields and volleyball courts. The private Lakewood County Club has an 18-hole golf course that spans 7,100 yards and tennis courts. There’s an outdoor aquatic complex where kids can learn to swim, compete on the swim team and eat at the Poolside Pub. Admission is based on a lengthy membership interview process where candidates get to know existing members.
Close to I-270 and the Beltway
Rockville sits just outside the so-called D.C. Beltway, north of where Interstate 270 connects with I-495. Because it’s outside the Beltway, home prices trend lower than inside the Beltway communities like Silver Spring, says Bacchus. “It’s a $600,000 to $700,000 difference inside the Beltway versus outside,” he says. But the commuter access is still great. Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and the National Institute of Health are 15 minutes away, driving into D.C. takes about 45 minutes and the Red Line ride from Rockville into the District takes 40 minutes.
Modern retail and restaurant megacenter
It's easy to get around from Rockville, but with all its amenities, there’s almost no need to leave. In nearby North Bethesda is Pike & Rose, a 10-year-old modern outdoor mall that’s essentially the local version of Disney Springs. It’s the kind of place where people walk down a freshly paved sidewalk, past outdoor patios reverberating from the energy of weekend brunch and bottomless mimosas, past shops for big retail brands like REI and L.L. Bean and enter the iPic movie theater and kick back into reclining chairs to watch the latest Marvel movie. Pike & Rose has everything from ramen to boba tea to a dog café to a Porsche dealership. Above the movie theater, people sip cocktails in plush chairs at City Perch Kitchen + Bar. Pike & Rose sits along Rockville Pike, a busy thoroughfare with grocery stores like Aldi and Food Lion, big-box stores like Best Buy and car dealerships. “It’s a very busy road with about 150,000 cars per day, up and down,” says Bacchus. “It goes all the way north to Frederick, Maryland, so it’s a nice distance. On both sides there are restaurants, retailers and stores, apartment rentals and office buildings. It’s what we call ‘mixed use.’”
Schools rated A or higher by Niche
Kids in Rockville can attend Montgomery County public schools. The school district is considered the second best in Maryland. Neighborhood schools include Lakewood Elementary School, Robert Frost Middle School and Thomas S. Wootton High School. All three schools are well regarded. Lakewood and Frost have A-ratings from Niche, and Wootton, considered the sixth-best high school in Maryland, has an A-plus rating. Wootton students can enroll in its Academy of Information Technology, which exposes them to careers in the digital space.
GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
