I like that Gaithersburg, is a family orientated area! It has many shopping malls and grocery stores that are convenient and accessible. Gaithersburg has many different restaurants, parks and community centers. It's communities are generally safe and I have lived in different areas of Gaithersburg for the past 7 years. They have many great schools in Gaithersburg. The only thing I do not like is that when there was a safety issue a few years ago, it seem as it took the police forever to catch the guy and I do not like that it takes the police so long to arrive on the scene. Lastly, The community could have more job opportunities available.
Gaithersburg is an awesome place to live in. I've been living here since I was born and I find it awesome! The community is great and there are a lot of parks over here. I really like it. I always like spending time in Rio on the boardwalk. Very nice and chill place. I would actually probably rate it 4.6 but their wasn't that option, otherwise, it is a great place to live in.
I have lived in Gaithersburg for the last eight years of my life, and some of my best memories happened right here in this city. Gaithersburg has Rio, which is a city center with restaurants, places to shop, a movie theater, and much more. I have spent a lot of time there and probably will spend a lot more time there! Our schools are top notch as well. Along with amazing athletics, the schools have great educational opportunities that allow children to thrive and succeed in their adult lives. By living in a place with such a booming economy, there are always opportunities for employment available as well. With countless stores, shops, restaurants, and fun things to work at, being unemployed is hard to do in this city. One thing I would change about Gaithersburg is that traffic can be a problem in some areas as a result of such a high population, so you might be late getting to where you need to go around here. Overall, I love this city, and I think everyone has a place here!
