    5 Maryland Suburbs of Washington DC You Should Consider Moving

    Rockville

    I'm a fan of Rockville. It's a large area with a diverse population and plenty of choices for neighborhoods. The eastern side has older homes, while the western side has newer communities. Prices range from $400,000 to over $1 million, depending on the location and amenities.

    Kensington

    Kensington has a small-town feel with easy access to city life and nature reserves. It's a great community for families, with excellent schools and a variety of home styles. Homes start in the $500,000s and go up to over $1 million. The median price is $878,000.

    Bethesda

    Bethesda is known for being pricey, but you can find homes under $1 million if you're flexible on location or willing to renovate. The area has a wide range of home styles, from colonials to McMansions. There are also townhomes and condos in the urban areas. Shopping centers like Bethesda Row offer plenty of restaurants and stores.

    Silver Spring

    Fortune Magazine ranked Silver Spring #1 for families in 2024, citing its excellent education system, affordability, and resources for aging adults. The area has a mix of neighborhoods, from downtown's vibrant atmosphere to family-friendly communities north of the beltway. Homes range from $500,000 to over $1 million.

    Frederick

    Five years ago, I wouldn't have recommended Frederick, but it's undergone significant changes. Today, it feels like down-to-earth Baltimore with a sophisticated vibe. Commutes are shorter than they used to be, and homes start in the $500,000s. The downtown area is charming, with many cool restaurants and shops.
