Wonderful Place - stop using Laurel’s Crime Stats! - 9/21/2021
Been here since 2015. Peaceful and lots of green space for natural beauty. Convenient to given the shopping village with all that is needed.
I must express disappointment in how this site uses Laurel’s crime stats to guess Olney’s as they state that the FBI does not have crime stats for Olney. Olney is a far safer place and I find it absurd to project Laurels crime stats to Olney. Completely different place a 30 minute drive apart!

Olney, Maryland from farms to being a great little - 1/21/2016

It is run by the Olney Chamber of Commerce, which works hard to promote the communities and it's business members. We have a live theatre, which has excellent performances and many churches and private schools. We have the Olney Swim Center, run by the Montgomery County Recreation Dept. where we take Water Aerobics twice weekly for a very reasonable price and well planned shopping centers. Olney is located North on Georgia Avenue, just past the intersection with the Inter County Connector, I-200 and is approximately 12 miles north of
