Kingsview Village is a 713-home community inGermantown, Maryland, made up of 441 single-family homes and 272 townhomes, split across two sections on either side of Route 118. It’s a fit for buyers who want a settled, amenity-rich neighborhood with a pool, tennis courts, tot lots, and a top-tier school feed, without giving up quick access to I-270 and the MARC train into DC. I have a personal stake in this one: I lived in Kingsview Village for 12 years and raised my four kids there, so consider this your inside track from someone who actually did the school runs and used the pool passes.
Where is Kingsview Village located?
Kingsview Village sits in Germantown, bordered by Route 118, Richter Farm Road, and Shaffer Road. The community splits into two distinct sections. The original, smaller section is on the east side of Route 118, reached off Crownsgate Road, with roughly 130 homes. The townhomes there sit on Dunbar Terrace, and the single-family homes line Crownsgate Road, Crownsgate Circle, and Crownsgate Court. The larger, newer section is on the west side of Route 118, running along Richter Farm Road with several streets branching off toward Shaffer Road. The clubhouse, pool, and tennis courts are also on this west side.
What kind of homes will you find in Kingsview Village?
You’ll find a genuine mix of builders and floor plans, because Kingsview Village wasn’t built by a single developer in one phase. Construction ran from 1997 to 2002, and builders included Patriot Homes, Mid-Atlantic Builders, Advantage Homes, NV Homes, Winchester Homes, and Caruso. Single-family homes range from about 2,000 to as much as 5,000 square feet, while townhomes run roughly 1,500 to 2,500 square feet. Most townhomes have a one-car garage, though some of the smaller units skip a garage entirely. If a two-car garage matters to you, look at the end units built by Advantage Homes — those are the ones that come with it.
What amenities come with living in Kingsview Village?
Residents get a community pool (open Memorial Day through Labor Day), tennis courts, nine tot lots, walking paths, and a community center you can rent out for parties, meetings, and other events. It’s the kind of setup that gives young families a built-in summer routine without ever leaving the neighborhood.
Which schools does Kingsview Village feed into?
It depends on which side of Route 118 you’re on. Most of the east side feeds into Great Seneca Creek Elementary School, and most of the west side feeds into Spark M. Matsunaga Elementary School. From there, every home in Kingsview Village feeds into Kingsview Middle School and Northwest High School. School boundaries can shift block by block, so if a specific elementary school is a dealbreaker for your family, confirm the address against current boundary maps before you fall in love with a house.
What’s nearby Kingsview Village worth knowing about?
The biggest neighbor is South Germantown Park, 695 acres of rolling hills that’s home to the Maryland SoccerPlex and the Adventist HealthCare Field House, a 66,000-square-foot indoor facility for soccer, basketball, volleyball, lacrosse, and field hockey. The park also has hiking and biking trails, archery, mini golf, a golf driving range, the Germantown Indoor Swim Center, an outdoor splash park, cricket fields, and picnic shelters. It’s also home to the Washington Nationals Miracle Field, a specially designed field with cushioned synthetic turf that lets kids with mental or physical challenges — including those using wheelchairs or walkers — play competitive baseball safely. Add a Top Golf location just two to three miles away, and you’ve got a legitimate date-night and weekend-with-the-kids rotation without leaving the area. Germantown is also home to the only Wegmans and the only Walmart Super Center in Montgomery County, so grocery runs are never a hassle.

How’s the commute from Kingsview Village?
Better than most people expect for a neighborhood this size. Kingsview Village sits close to three entrances onto I-270, plus Great Seneca Highway, Route 118, and Route 28 for local driving. If you commute into DC, the Germantown MARC station is a five-minute drive and runs all the way into Union Station with stops along the way. Major employers within 10 to 15 minutes include AstraZeneca, Hughes Communications, the Department of Energy, and the Germantown campus of Montgomery College — so a lot of Kingsview Village residents work close to home.
