Rockville Town Square: Downtown for a new generation
The community of Rockville traces its history to 1776, but its downtown is less than 20 years old. Rockville Town Square anchors the Central Rockville neighborhood, acting as the city center for the town of 66,000 people. Most of Rockville’s original downtown was bulldozed more than 60 years ago, replaced by a shopping mall that shuttered within a decade of opening. However, Rockville Town Square filled that gap when it opened in 2007. The mixed-use development turned a city block into dense shopfronts, apartments and outdoor seating. The pedestrian-friendly plaza was fashioned after public squares seen in Italy. “That’s created a newer generation of downtown within walking distance of a Metro stop,” says Dick Stoner, a Rockville resident who is the broker and owner of Reist Corp. There are hundreds of years of history is this suburban Maryland neighborhood less than 20 miles from Washington, D.C. However, the community has blended the old and the new since its population began to boom after World War II.
Shop local produce at Dawson’s Market
The ground floor of the mixed-use development is filled with a mix of national restaurant chains and local spots serving cuisine that varies from Japanese to Peruvian to Lebanese. Rockville Town Center shoppers can pick up local produce, fresh-baked bread or hot coffee at Dawson’s Market. The shop was opened by the Dawson family, whose ancestors have lived in Montgomery County since the 1740s, before the store changed hands to its current owner in 2018. Central Rockville has more to offer besides the town center, including The Spot Asian Food Hall and Regal Rockville Center, which has screened films for more than 25 years. Locals can also shop at the retail centers along Rockville Pike.
Memorial Day tradition lives on
The Memorial Day Ceremony started in Rockville in the 1940s, and today the parade of military members, veterans and civilians marches through Rockville Town Square. “It’s a down-home, small-town measure that was more the town in the ‘60s that it is now, but it’s a neat tradition that continues,” Stoner explains. A couple of blocks from Rockville Town Square, growers, bakers and shoppers gather on Saturdays for the Rockville Farmers Market.
Woodmont Country Club ranked one of Maryland’s best
What was once a 19th-century farm is now Dawson Farm Park, a green space surrounded by houses. The historical farmhouse still stands, but it’s otherwise a typical city park, with a playground and picnic tables. In Rockville Town Square, an outdoor ice-skating rink opens every October. Members have relaxed at Woodmont Country Club since 1913. Golfers can play two 18-hole courses, and the north course is ranked among the top 10 best courses in Maryland by GolfDigest. A more modern recreation option is Movement Rockville, where visitors can scale climbing walls before a laid-back yoga class. Historical homes and midcentury subdivisions
Historical homes and midcentury subdivisions
The neighborhood’s northwest corner makes up West End, one of the oldest settled areas of the city. The grid of streets is lined with Federal homes from the early 1800s, Cape Cods from the early 20th century and other home styles built in between. Before the Civil War, the West End was home to the city’s three communities of free Black residents. Rockville traces its roots to the 1700s, but homes in the neighborhood generally have been built since the 1960s, when the city’s growth took off. These single-family subdivisions often contain Colonial Revivals and ranch homes. Prices for condos near Rockville Town Square start in the low $100,000s, while three-bedroom detached homes begin in the mid-$400,000s. A six-bedroom house can sell for a s much as $1.4 million.
International Baccalaureate program at Richard Montgomery High
Schools draw many homebuyers to Rockville, Stoner says. Children can attend school in the Montgomery County Public Schools district, graded an A by Niche. Students in Central Rockville are likely to take classes at Beall Elementary School and Julius West Middle School, both of which get an A. Richard Montgomery High School, graded an A-plus, was the first in the county to debut an International Baccalaureate program. All students are eligible to participate in the program in their junior and senior years.
Metro runs from Rockville Town Square to Washington, D.C.
Interstate 270 runs through the west side of the neighborhood, and drivers can take the roadway to Washington, D.C. The Rockville Metro station sits within a 10-minute walk from Rockville Town Square. Commuters and day-trippers can catch a train and reach Washington, D.C., in about 30 minutes.
