The Metro can save you a lot of time and money and a convenient way to travel.

We love our Rockville, Olney and Silver Spring communities! Thinking about moving here? We’ll give you a few reasons why our community stands out to us!

Great schools: Montgomery County Public Schools are nationally ranked and recognized. Additionally, the area boasts many great private schools if you are looking for those options. Rockville is also the home of Montgomery College, Rockville Campus. For an affordable tuition, you can obtain your associate degree from this institution for a fraction of what you would pay at other colleges and universities.

Quick access to transit: Our area offers public transportation ranging from buses to trains. While the Metro rail allows quick access from Rockville and Silver Spring (and many other stations in surrounding areas) to DC, parts of Virginia and other local hotspots, bus services from Metrobus and Ride On are available throughout the county with thousands of bus stops.

Plenty of shopping centers, restaurants, entertainment: Rockville Pike is known for its diversity of restaurants. In addition, it has many top-notch shopping centers and about every store you can think of along its stretch. Looking for something fun to do? Rockville provides plenty of entertainment to its residents and guests alike- and in very close proximity so you won’t have to drive far and can definitely save gas.

With ice rinks (indoor and outdoor), movie theaters, bowling alleys, malls, community events and festivals to nearby hiking trails and places to rent kayaks and canoes, Rockville is a happening place!

Safe communities: Our Rockville-Olney and Silver Spring North communities are very family-oriented and diverse. People from around the world come to live in our communities as our area has much to offer. From amazing career opportunities to safe neighborhoods, the Rockville-Olney area is a great place to have a family and to start a great career alike. Our towns make great effort to keep residents safe by installing sidewalks to promote safer exercise, creating crosswalks, putting up speed cameras, and ensuring roads are smooth. Pedestrian safety is really prioritized, and it leads to a stronger community!

Close to Washington, D.C. (can easily metro from Silver Spring, Rockville, Twin Brook, or Shady Grove stations, to name a few): As mentioned above, our area is close to DC! It’s a happening place. From weekend activities such as parades and museum trips, we are fortunate to have easy access to a city where people from around the world come to vacation to. We can’t forget to mention jobs! Many of our residents commute to DC daily for work. It’s a city of opportunity.
