Kentlands
Brick colonials and well-trimmed homes
In the Kentlands, houses inspired by the architecture of New England and the mid-Atlantic sit on relatively small, green lots behind sidewalks. Brick colonials with shuttered windows and perfectly trimmed single-family homes with farmers' porches are typical and representative of the Kentlands lifestyle. Townhouses lined up next to each other and built with brick wouldn’t look out of place in Boston’s Beacon Hill. The community is fully built out, with about 8,000 residents, and the market is competitive, says Fogle. The average home price is $703,283 and prices tend to range from about $400,000 to $1.4 million. “There’s no inventory and a ton of buyer demand, like most of the country,” says Fogle. “Things don’t stay on the market for more than a few days unless they’re priced incorrectly.”Lively community
People move to the Kentlands for the lifestyle, Fogle says. The neighborhood hosts events like bridge club, wine club, concerts and theatrical performances through the Kentlands Community Players. In the summertime, Fogle says, the neighborhood has a resort-like feel. People are out at the pool all day, having picnics on the green and enjoying live music outside.Walking and running around the lake
The Kentlands has two waterways – Lake Helene and Inspiration Lake. Paved pathways for running and dog walking surround both lakes, and Inspiration Lake has a hiking trail through a small, wooded area. Little Quarry Park, located next to the Kentlands clubhouse, has a pond and a picnic area. Locals play tennis, pickleball and basketball on community courts and workout in the Kentlands gym. Every year, the community and the nearby Lakelands host a 5K race and fun run for the Kentlands Community Foundation."Everything is here."
All the amenities of modern life are available to residents of the Kentlands. Retailers like Whole Foods Market, At Home, Giant Food and Mattress Warehouse exist in the community’s commercial area. Locals can get healthy Mediterranean bowls from Cava or fried chicken sandwiches from Chick-fil-A, or kick back at sit-down eateries like Dog Haus Biergarten, where hot dogs come topped with things like jalapenos and bacon. Brews & Barrels serves ribs, bourbon and beer in a wooden brewery environment and Sin & Grin serves Mexican fare like fajitas and margaritas. “I often say we’re ‘inside the bubble,’ as in we’re either going inside the bubble or outside the bubble for dinner tonight,” says Fogle. “There’s no reason to go outside the bubble. Everything is here.”Well-regarded schools
Kids in the Kentlands can attend Montgomery County Public Schools, considered one of the top public school districts in Maryland. Rachel Carson Elementary School has an A rating from Niche, and in 2012 it was named a National Blue Ribbon School. Kids can also attend the A-rated Lakelands Park Middle School and Quince Orchard High School.Commuting and public transit
The Kentlands sits about 25 miles north of Washington, D.C. Driving there takes about 45 minutes. Public transportation is also available via Metro bus and subway routes. Locals can take the bus to the Shady Grove Metro station and board the Red Line into the city. Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport is 45 minutes away by car.
