Burtonsville is an unicorporated area of Montgomery County and is identified by the Post Office name and zip-code 20866. It is at the far east point of the county and this puts it somewhat out of the main stream of county life, although the current county executive lives there. But the commute to the county seat, centrally located Rockville, is about a half-hour.
Burtonsville is close to I-95 (and has its own exit), which puts it a short driving distance to Baltimore-Washington Airport, and Baltimore itself and reasonable short to Washington, DC
The far west side of the county is more oppulent, but Burtonsville is solidly middle-class and above. The schools are run by the county and are competetive at the county level, but not outstanding. The town center is not very attractive but is always under study for improvement.
