50-65 min by car via I-270. The Germantown MARC station has direct service to Union Station in ~55 minutes. ICC connects east to BWI in ~55 min.

Northwest HS and Seneca Valley HS clusters serve most of Germantown, rated B+ to A. Newer elementaries like Lake Seneca and Cedar Grove perform very well. Specific street matters — Kevin verifies.

Both are master-planned. Milestone is the more established town center with full retail and a movie theater. Cabin Branch is newer (post-2018), more residential, with the Wegmans-anchored shopping center and continued construction.
