I love living in Rockville. Our costs of living and housing are lower than they were in D.C., and we have great walkability and access to outdoor amenities. Our neighbors wave hello, there are incredible dining options, and we can still get into the city super easily by car or public transportation whenever we want to. We’ve lived all over the country, and Rockville has been a fantastic place to call home.
I appreciate the teamwork of our talented and customer-motivated City staff. We also are grateful for our partnership with REDI and the Chamber of Commerce, who play important roles too.
Thank you for all of the hard work you and your staff have put into getting the Twinbrook Quarter Phase I Site Plan across the finish line. Our experience has been positive and collaborative. I think your folks have done a fantastic job representing the City and its interests, as well as the interests of the residents, while at the same time working with us to find reasonable ways to get things done and creative solutions that are mutually acceptable to the City and the Developer. We work in many different local jurisdictions and a few in other areas around the country. Your customer service focused approach makes all of the difference between a development that cannot move forward, and one that does and is successful.
We moved to Rockville from DC four years ago, and we love it! It is very family friendly — there are plenty of parks, and we love the town center. Everything is convenient, and the area is very walkable. We also love the community here. We live in a diverse neighborhood, and everyone is very friendly!
