I grew up in a nearby town. I always dreamed of living in Rockville at some point in my life. Two years ago, I was blessed to finally live here! It’s a perfect city with many local restaurants, a movie theater, metro station, grocery stores and parks. I have two young children and we can walk to town center from our home. I love living here and would recommend Rockville to anyone who is looking to move to the area. I only wish they would invest in a city shuttle for residents. That would be amazing.
Overall, I have been very happy with my time in Rockville, MD. Rockville offers a diverse community, strong economy, quality education, and convenient amenities. There is a great suburban atmosphere, access to parks and recreational activities, and proximity to employment opportunities. Some potential areas for improvement could include enhancing public transportation options and promoting sustainable practices. Mostly, the vibrant community and a range of opportunities makes Rockville, MD an appealing place to live.
Current Resident. A few years back when I moved from North Carolina to here I was shocked and almost moved back. It's fast paced and crowded in my opinion. Traffic in my area is a nightmare. Angry drivers always laying on the horn and cussing people off. Cost of living stupidly high. I have a 720SQ apartment for 2150 a month. In north carolina I had a 1400SQ 2 room apartment for 1400 a month for comparison. Everyone always looks upset up here. And my Ring neighborhood app says the area about 10 miles from me always has reports about theft and shooting. You also need to pay to park anywhere living up here. Even in my apartment complex there is a charge for parking and no other option available. Weather is not as cold as I thought it would be. It's actually warmer. Snow in the years I've lived here was minimal. And never sticks around. If you don't like big city living, Rockville isn't for you.
