Where Rockville ends
About 18 miles north of Washington, D.C. and surrounded by green space sits Croydon Park, a neighborhood in a convenient location with easy access to public transportation. Realtor Neil Bacchus with EXP Realty, who has over 35 years of experience selling homes in the area, says, “This is sort of the end of Rockville. It’s the very last stop on the Red Line, but the home prices are lower than in downtown Rockville or Bethesda, but with similar amenities.” This well-established neighborhood borders downtown Rockville Town Square, a mixed-use community with dinner options, a summer concert series and outdoor space to hang out. Closer to home, there are numerous shopping and dining centers as well as an array of parks, providing locals with access to green space.
You'll find many shops, restaurants, and other retail along Croydon Park's stretch of MD-355.

Established area without HOAs
Streets in Croydon Park are wide and walkable, lined with scattered trees. Some embody a single home style; others mix established residences and new construction. Because most Rockville neighborhoods don’t have HOAs, many residents modify their homes as their housing needs change. “You’ll see quite a few additions, expansions and altered roof lines,” says Realtor Ellie Hitt with RE/MAX, who serves clients throughout Maryland and Virginia. She notes that there are various architectural styles, including Cape Cods, split-levels and ranch-style homes in the neighborhood. Potential homebuyers can find a two-bedroom condominium unit for about $375,000 at the lower end of the neighborhood's price range. Some ranch-styles from the 1950s and 1960s cost between $450,000 and $650,000 and can feature between four and six bedrooms. There are also newly constructed Colonial Revivals priced around $685,000 and remodeled bungalows going for a little over $1 million. “The neighborhood’s housing mirrors a lot of what’s in Montgomery County but is larger in square footage,” Bacchus says. “And the price is better for the consumer.”
From ranch-style to cape cods, the architectural styles found in Croydon Park are endless.
You'll find a few cape cod and colonial style homes scatter throughout Croydon Park.

RedGate Park and other smaller outdoor experiences
RedGate Park spans 131 acres and operated as a golf course from 1974 to 2018. Visitors can still see remnants of the former course in man-made lakes and paved paths where golf carts once drove. But nature has reclaimed these features, and what was once well-maintained greens has turned to long grass dotted with mature trees. The park is also a sanctuary for birds and butterflies. Bird watchers often see night herons and chipping sparrows flying overhead, while a local Girl Scout troop installed a Monarch waystation to support the pollinators. The waystation is the first step in the park’s planned arboretum. While RedGate Park sits adjacent to 1,800-acre Rock Creek Park, no bike or pedestrian paths connect them.
There are also a few smaller parks scattered throughout the community. David Scull Park, Wilma Shelton Park and Croydon Park – which shares a name with the neighborhood – offer similar amenities: playgrounds, open green space and sports facilities. Nearby, 7-acre Maryvale Park combines passive and active recreation. Visitors can wander through the forest preserve, cross a bridge over a swampy pond, play pick-up basketball games or watch their kids play in a youth sports league on the baseball diamond.
Red Gate Park used to be a functional golf course, now it has many other uses like picnics.
Maryvale Park comes equipped with a fountain for those hot summer days and a large playground.

What’s happening on and around Hungerford Drive and at Rockville Town Square
The neighborhood’s restaurant scene includes several bakeries and grills, as well as Thai and Chinese restaurants that line Hungerford Drive. Locals can start their day with bagels and coffee from The Bean Bag Deli & Catering. This spot is also popular during lunch hour, with various sandwiches and soups on the menu. After work, folks head to Clear Sies Meadery, where mead is brewed and packaged onsite and available for purchase in the taproom. There are also a variety of options for cooking at home. Residents can pick up a few essential items at Maryvale Market, a well-stocked corner store, or head to Giant Food to restock the pantry. “Dawson’s Market is also a great place to shop,” Hitt says. “They have a lot of natural and local products.” Croydon Park is also just half a mile from Rockville Town Square, the 12.5-acre mixed-use centerpiece of Downtown Rockville. In the summer, locals listen to live music at the Summer Concert Series or take their kids to the splash pad, while during the holiday season, they gather for the tree lighting ceremony or circle the ice-skating rink. But any other time of year, Rockville residents can hang out in this walkable pedestrian space, with scattered green areas, tables and numerous shopping and dining options. “There’s a movie theatre, a nice library and the Metro is right there,” Bacchus says. “If you like to walk, it’s walkable from some points in the community.”
Be sure to stop by Salsa in the Square, just a short drive from Croydon Park.
