When I first moved to Germantown - 10/2/2013
When I first moved to Germantown, this city was up and coming. It still felt like the country and the air was breathable and not as much traffic. That was in 2010. In 3 years, I can tell you so much has changed. The population growth, the cost of living, traffic build-up and condos are being thrown up everywhere. Do not drink the water from tap. It definitely taste like the smell of toilet water. Their are more foreigners here then the whole DMV area. The percentage of whites and blacks are getting fewer by the month. Don't believe the census bureau. The economy is definitely growing in this little suburban neighborhood but the cost of living is as expensive as NW DC. And if you are coming with a family there is nothing to do here for kids. You have to travel for entertainment. Because all they have is a bunch of restaurants and a movie theatre. No skating ranks, no bowling, etc. High schoolers have nothing but each other to get in trouble. I seen a mass increase in teen smokers in Read More

Pet Ownership - 5/24/2013
Montgomery County is not a dog friendly place if you own pets. The dog regulations do not favor the dog or dog owner and one should consider Frederick, Howard or Carroll counties over Montgomery. Read More

Monthly Costs - 7/17/2012

Best Area - 6/5/2009
The DC metro area is in my opinion is one of the finest places to live. The options for entertainment, education, dining, and outdoor recreation are second to none.

I grew up in Anne Arundel county, specifically Crofton, which is about an hour away from where i currently reside (Germantown). Altough crofton did have alot to do being approximately 1/2 hour away from both baltimore and DC, it didnt really have a strong community feel or much ethnic diviersity whatsoever. Moving to Germantown gave me a taste of what the real DC metro area is like, with a diverse population and ample opportunities for experiencing different cultures that I was not given residing in Read More

I miss Germantown! - 11/1/2008
I recently relocated to the midwest after living in Germantown for five years and I miss it. While it is not an especially lively place to live, it is certainly liveable and convenient to commuting into D.C. The neighborhoods are nicely laid out, the parks are beautiful and there are enough stores and restaurants in the area to make it an enjoyable place to live. I would move back in a Read More
