Why Rockville?
The answer is simple

Rockville, Maryland, is the ideal location for superior living and for superior business.

Situated in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan region, Rockville is the third largest city in Maryland and is home to a diverse community of some 57,000 residents.

It is the "Home of the Genome," where advanced sciences, the biotech industry, and research companies live and thrive.

It is home to budding businesses, where entrepreneurial startups and family-owned establishments are embraced and take root.

It also includes major federal government agencies such as the Federal Drug Administration, the National Institutes of Health, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and the key consulting and technology companies that support them and other federal government agencies.

Rockville is also home to an intellectual, diverse, and productive workforce, with access to nearly 3 million people in the Greater Washington region, and where many respected and highly regarded educational institutions reside within and around the city.

The city offers a fertile and firm foundation for growing new businesses and expanding established ones. Rockville's commercial real estate possibilities are second to none. Class A office space, burgeoning developments, and open space for new projects provide but a glimpse into the opportunities that exist in Rockville.

From subways and highways, to air and rail, taking care of business in Rockville is a smooth ride to success. Three major airports — Baltimore-Washington International, Washington-Dulles International, and Ronald Reagan Washington National — are conveniently located near Rockville. Amtrak, MARC commuter trains, and Metro subway and bus systems also help meet the city's transportation needs while major throughways connect Rockville to the rest of the region.

Rockville is also the seat of Montgomery County, a rapidly growing and changing region where history blends with the contemporary, where urban life melds with country living, and where you'll discover an endless source of entertainment, shopping, and cultural experiences.

Rockville Pike, Montgomery County's busiest retail environment, boasts national and local shopping opportunities for all to keep you close to home.
