Montgomery County, Maryland, is one of the best places to live in the country. But don’t just take our word for it. Montgomery was one of the top 100 counties in the nation as ranked by U.S. News — and for good reason. Montgomery County is a unique area that balances its proximity to Washington, D.C., with the splendor of nature and a small-town community feel. It’s so great, we at Craftmark Homes decided to build three unique communities here.
Why consider Montgomery County?
Great Public School System
Montgomery is a terrific place to raise a family. This fact is never more evident than when you look into its public school system. You’ll find excellent school ratings from elementary through high school. The student-to-teacher ratio sits at 15-1, well below the national average. This ensures each child gets the individual attention they need to succeed. You can tell a lot about an area by its school system, and Montgomery County most definitely shines in this sector.
Access to Parks
Outdoor enthusiasts will quickly fall in love with Montgomery County. Here, you’ll have access to many majestic parks that offer a wealth of great activities whenever you need a breath of fresh air. Residents at our Mateny Hill community in Germantown are close to the Great Seneca Stream Valley Park. Here you can enjoy over 1,500 acres of beautiful sights, including a lovely stream that runs alongside the main trail. Of course, that isn’t your only option, as the county offers over 250 miles of trails.
Museums
Since the county is located in a rich historical region of the United States, there are fun, educational museums here as well. Check out the National Museum of Health and Medicine. Set up during the Civil War, it’s home to many historical medical artifacts, including the bullet that shot Abraham Lincoln. If you’re a part of our Crown community in Gaithersburg, don’t forget to round up the kids and check out the Gaithersburg Community Museum. This indoor-outdoor museum celebrates the area’s railroad history.
Good Eats
Foodies rejoice! Montgomery County has a variety of delectable culinary options to fit all situations. Whether you want a quick local burger or a fancy dinner out with a loved one, Montgomery has it all. We recommend visiting the MoCo Eats website to find the perfect local restaurant to fulfill your craving of the moment. Filter results by restaurants with outdoor seating or delivery capabilities, so you can still partake in local cuisine while feeling safe and socially distant.
Shopping
Montgomery has something for you shop-a-holics out there as well. Head to one of the many upscale malls in the county and shop ’til you drop. Residents at our Clarksburg Town Center can enjoy the nearby Clarksburg Premium Outlets. We’re sure you’ll find some great bargains on high-quality merchandise.
