Comments about Rockville

Woodley Gardens (Submitted by EES)

This is a great place to live if you like being close to shops, restaurants, and parks. You'll always see lots of people out walking in this neighborhood and there are great restaurants just a five to ten minute walk away.

Regent Square (Submitted by MH)

Regent Square is a great little neighborhood close to Montgomery College and the downtown Rockville area. It is very family friendly with little parks and play areas around. It's quiet yet so close to everything including shops resturants and major roads!

Woodley Gardens (Submitted by RB)

This is a charming community with lots of trees, lots of kids, and a real community feel. The cute little shopping center at the end of the neighborhood with Hard Times Cafe (great food and drinks) and a couple of stores is great. There's a neighborhood park with tennis, basketball, swingsets, etc. and it's very close to 270 and Rockville Town Square. Very desirable townhomes and single-family homes.
