Montgomery County Reviews
Rating 3.79 out of 5 133 reviews
Montgomery County is a great place to live! Beautiful scenery, friendly people, very diverse and excellent education, recreation, and job opportunities. Although it is highly populated, it seems every knows everyone around here. Schools are excellent, and the county is home to many well-paying jobs. The weather is good; hot and humid in the summer and cold with moderate snow in the winter. Transportation is good although traffic is an issue. The county government does a great job with recreation and providing jobs to people. All in all, an amazing place to call home!
As a student in the Montgomery Country public school system, my experience has been extremely fulfilling. The teachers are very qualified and passionate and my school has a vast number of pathways to select from- thus ensuring that everyone is being reached. Also, the community is very friendly and there are plenty of activities to entertain people of all ages. MoCo's location is also impeccable as there is easy access to DC and many cities. Being born and raised in Montgomery County, I can say that it has been nothing short of a great experience.
I was born and raised here all my life and I generally have enjoyed my home. It has many benefits such as public transportation accessibility, county discounts, everything is local, and lots of places to shop and explore. Overall, a good experience. Traffic has changed a bit, though. More cars and people. Streets and buildings are being rebuilt and restored often. Weather/Climate is different especially within the last 10 years. Warmer temperatures lasting into December (winter season) when we used to get all four seasons.
