Get to know Rockville

Like much of Montgomery County, Rockville’s c. 19th-century growth spurt coincided with the arrival of railway transport, linking it to Washington, D.C. Today’s Rockville is one of Maryland’s largest cities and a hub for many technology and biomed companies. It’s also where you’ll find a collection of historic homes, with 100-plus-year-old lineages, constructed in various architectural styles — like the c. 1815 Federal-style Beall–Dawson House. Several large, planned neighborhoods also encompass Rockville, offering single-family homes, condos, townhomes, and apartments for residents. Head to Rockville Town Square for comforting bites spanning cuisines — plus art galleries, shops, and an ice rink — in a walkable downtown setting. There’s even a seasonal farmers market and annual celebrations for various holidays, including fireworks displays, parades, music festivals, and more. Washington Metro’s Red Line makes two stops in Rockville, and the MARC commuter rail provides additional public transportation to D.C.

Living in Montgomery County

Maryland’s most populous county thrives off of convenience. When Montgomery County spun out of southern Frederick County in 1776, it was due in no insignificant part to a general dislike among citizens for the time and money spent traveling to the county courthouse in Frederick. Today, Montgomery’s people have their more centrally located seat in Rockville and also sit mere minutes outside Washington, D.C. But while the Washington Metro’s U-shaped Red Line and the MARC train network connect Bethesda, Rockville, Germantown, and more to so much of D.C.’s gloriousness, Montgomery County (affectionately called MoCo) is far from about commuting elsewhere. MoCo is a capital of culture in Maryland, its towns and villages calling to all with globe-trotting cuisine, significant historical landmarks, multiple arts and entertainment districts, and can’t-miss shopping destinations. It also provides year-round options for outdoor excursions, whether you want to hike or bike Capital Crescent Trail, go apple or pumpkin picking, sled in C&O Canal National Historical Park, or stop to admire Brookfield Gardens’ cherry blossoms.
