Living in Montgomery County, Maryland

Thinking about living in Montgomery County, Maryland? This page is your starting place. We’ve gathered all of our Montgomery County videos right here – real neighborhood walk-throughs, market insights, commute breakdowns, school talk, and everything else that helps you figure out whether this side of the Potomac River is the right fit for your next move.

Montgomery County is a massive and incredibly diverse slice of the DC metro area. It stretches from bustling urban hubs like Bethesda and Silver Spring to more laid-back, suburban towns like Kensington, Potomac, and Olney. Whether you’re looking for Metro access, top-tier public schools, a quieter suburban lifestyle, or all three – living in Montgomery County offers options. The key is knowing which area matches your needs, your lifestyle, and your budget.

Montgomery County is home to some of the highest-ranked public schools in the state, but the catch is – those rankings vary neighborhood to neighborhood. These videos dig into that. If you’re a working professional or dual-income household, we’ll talk about access to Metro stations, MARC trains, and how long that “30-minute commute” really takes during rush hour. And if you’re an empty nester ready to downsize without giving up culture, green space, or great restaurants, there are towns in MoCo that check all those boxes too.

Neighborhoods like Bethesda offer walkability, a strong restaurant scene, and quick access to DC, but at a premium price. Silver Spring brings a more urban vibe, diverse housing options, and a growing arts and entertainment district. Chevy Chase delivers elegance and quiet luxury, while Rockville and Gaithersburg offer a blend of suburban space, newer construction, and slightly more approachable price points. And if you’re craving a truly suburban pace, areas like Olney, Potomac, Darnestown, or Poolesville may be worth a look.

We’ll show you what kinds of homes your budget can get you, where you’ll find the best balance between commute and space, and which neighborhoods offer the lifestyle you’re after—whether that’s active, quiet, kid-focused, or community-driven.
