D.C. area’s first master-planned community
Suburban growth was typical in post-World War II America, but master-planned communities were less common. Montgomery Village, built in the 1960s and 70s, has become a model for suburban developments in the D.C. area. The community has about 40,000 locals living in 12,000 residences and 69 subdivisions. The Montgomery Village Foundation – whose members meet to play tennis, swim and watch concerts in the summertime – oversees the community just outside Gaithersburg, Maryland. Housing options range from condos to townhouses to single-family homes built in the late 20th century. “There are so many different types of communities here, depending on what you want,” says Alecia Scott, long-time Gaithersburg resident and Realtor with Long & Foster. Plus, Montgomery Village is located about 25 miles from Washington, D.C., and Frederick, Maryland, and nearby highways make commutes for those working in either area manageable. “I always tell my buyers that living takes a village,” says Realtor Joie Ashworth with Weichert Realtors, who has over two decades of experience selling in the area. “And I think Montgomery Village is what they had in mind.”

HOAs oversee communities of single-family homes, townhouses and condos
Residential streets are wide, winding and enclosed, making it easy for locals to visit neighbors next door or walk to a pool or community park. “It’s a really well-done planned community,” Ashworth says. “They took time to have a community-oriented approach, maximize space and not have people on top of each other.” Because Montgomery Village consists of 69 smaller neighborhoods – called “communities” – the area offers many different housing options. Buyers can choose from single-family homes, townhouses, condos or apartments. The same kinds of residences are typically clustered around each other, and each individual community has an HOA overseeing it, separate from the larger Montgomery Village Foundation. “The foundation governs the overall area, doing planning and things like that,” Ashworth says. “They look to individual communities to regulate the residents and make sure everyone is happy, healthy and safe.” Montgomery Village continues to grow, with a mix of older homes and new construction. The area’s median single-family home price is $650,000, higher than the national average of $406,100.

Everyone can walk to parks and pools
Residents can expect all four seasons in Montgomery Village, with hot, humid summers and occasional winter snowfall. Classic mid-Atlantic cherry blossom trees grow here, as do shady American sycamores and red maples. “As the community grows, they do a great job at trying to hang onto as much green space as possible,” Ashworth says. “Everyone is within walking distance to a park, playground or pool.” Montgomery Village has 335 acres of green space, including 18 park areas and a natural amphitheater. “The rec department does an amazing job with their services,” Scott says. “They have summer camps for kids, activities and classes, all at a good value. And your association fee covers it all. I always loved to rent those spaces for large parties or graduations.” On leisurely mornings, neighbors play tennis and pickleball together or take their kids to one of the many playgrounds. The community also hosts an annual Great Pumpkin Race and Fall Festival, where people race decorated pumpkin cars and enjoy food and live music. A farmers market takes place on Saturdays from June to October, featuring local produce, wine and baked goods. Locals can also join organizations to get to know each other. The Montgomery Village Garden Club teaches landscaping and sustainable planting, while musicians in the Montgomery Village Community Band play for their neighbors throughout the year.
