Current Resident: North Potomac is a very middle class and suburban area. The peace and quiet this area seems to have makes it all the more preferable compared to othe city areas. Residents here are rarely roudy and aggressive; they are friendly and welcoming people. My neighbors in particular are very much friendly and warm as they welcomed my family with in-person greetings and gifts of food when we first moved into the area. Although the variety and quality of restaurants and chains are not that all extraordinary, they are still likable. As I am Korean and many who also seem to be the same living in the area, I wish there were more varieties of Korean restaurants and supermarkets nearby. Not only this, I wish there were more attractions or eventful places here. To have fun, my family or my friends always have to travel out of the city.... Read 81 reviews

Additionally, it has an elementary and middle school, and it only 10 minutes away from a high school. It is very safe and clean -- a great location for families with kids. I love it here!...

Current Resident: We purchased our home in North Bethesda in 1986, when we had one son 6 months old. Now 37 years later, we smile at the good fortune in this choice. We love our neighborhood (Walnut Woods) and we love the area. The Farmland/Tilden Woods/Old Farm area has homes from the 1960's kept in good shape, nicely landscaped, with large old oak trees and many of the original cherry trees (planted by the builder) still blooming each spring. Neighborhood is quiet and safe. Excellent schools. Access to shopping and restaurants is outstanding, including the Park Potomac development to the west and Rockville Pike, plus Montgomery Mall. Access to Metro and I-270 is easy, you can get anywhere from here. Hard to imagine a better neighborhood!... Read 47 reviews

Suburb of Baltimore, MD
Current Resident: Ellicott City has a lot to offer! There is a variety of food to choose from like classic American all the way to Korean. We also have some parks like Centennial and Patapsco that occur some outdoor activities! Additionally, we have Old Ellicott City that has many small businesses and restaurants that Gordan Ramsey himself came to help after the floods. On another note, Ellicott City is in Howard County and the public school system is fantastic! On the other hand, some downsides of the suburb is that the although we have lots of parks, we don't really have many other activities to do. Another downside is that the traffic during peak hour can be horrendous, especially on the 29. I find that Ellicott City sometimes do not have the greatest of drivers and they tend to block the intersections and so no one can move.... Read 288 reviews

Current Resident: We moved 3 years ago to CCV and it was one of the best decisions we have ever done. We rented our house and got the opportunity to buy it later. It is a peaceful neighborhood where kids can walk/bike safely. We are a large family of 4 kids, a dog and parents, we have good space and a great backyard to fit comfortably all of us. The public schools in the area are great, we have Silver Creek MS very close for the middle school teens - school was built less than 5 years ago. BCC for HS and Chevy Chase Elementary. Everything is close, public transportation stops all over Cedar, making it easy to go to the Medical Center subway station. Safe, quiet, peaceful, full of nature. A great place to live....

Current Resident: 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....

Current Resident: Clarksburg is a growing town in Montgomery County, Maryland. This county is the largest in Maryland and thrives off of the revenue from Washington, DC. Clarksburg is a new suburb town near Gaithersburg, Germantown, and Damascus. Gaithersburg and Germantown are two of the most diverse cities (although they are more of large towns) in the country, and Clarksburg follows in similar fashion. The school system and public services as a whole are amazing. Like all suburbs, traffic gets worse the closer you get to the city (DC). Most families have young children as the town is growing rapidly, and there are many new houses for families to move into. Clarksburg has a lot of advantages for families, but not a lot for younger, single people. Overall, the town has a goal and serves it well.... Read 78 reviews

Current Resident: Cabin John is the little area in between Potomac and Bethesda. You've probably never really heard of it. It's an amazing place to live for people with a family. However, diversity is extremely low. Most of the people around you are white and affluent people. Some of whom can be nice, but a lot of the times people seem to keep to themselves. The schools here are very good, whether that be private or public school. I've attended both the private schools and public and personally I found that my experience at private school was much better than that of public school. Night life, well, there is not much to do around here for night life. There are restaurants, but everything will be 15 minutes or more away. Overall, if you're trying to start a family in a really safe area this is the place for you. Otherwise, this might not be a place to call home.... Read 5 reviews
