Known as the "Affordable Silicon Valley," Germantown is located in the heart of Montgomery County, approximately 12 miles from the northwest border of Washington, D.C., along the I-270 technology corridor. When I-270 was built, the community also became a planned "Corridor City." The plan aimed to preserve the outside edges of the county as farmland and forests, while restricting development to the corridor surrounding the interstate highway. Montgomery County is the "Gateway to the Nation's Capital" and is rich with history, culture, education, diversity and community.

Montgomery County Public Schools is the largest district in Maryland serving approximately 136,653 students. The community is a growing bedroom community with a burgeoning population of more than 55,000 residents. Because it is situated so close to the Washington, D.C., suburban sprawl, Germantown has prospered from residential and commercial development. All the exciting attractions of the D.C. metro area are just half an hour away. Future residents will be pleased to find that Germantown has a wide selection of real estate from single-family dwellings in gated, planned and retirement communities, townhouses and condominiums near colleges, some waterfront properties, and even investment properties near the city.
