Your Guide to
Kentlands
Real Estate

Kentlands was one of the first large-scale New Urbanist communities in the U.S., designed starting in 1988. It mixes housing types, puts garages in rear alleys, and centers everything around walkable streets and a real town square rather than a car-first layout.

The Kentlands median runs around $725K, with townhomes averaging near $740K and single-family homes around $716K — above Gaithersburg's citywide median.

The Kentlands core carries a Walk Score of 93 ('Walker's Paradise'), meaning most daily errands don't require a car — far above Gaithersburg's citywide average.

Kentlands is served by Montgomery County Public Schools, including Rachel Carson Elementary (a National Blue Ribbon School) with Northwest High School as a feeder, ranked in the state's top tier.

Yes. Kentlands intentionally mixes housing types within the same blocks — condos and townhomes concentrated in areas like Kentlands Bluff and Midtown, with larger single-family homes in Old Farm and the Hill Districts.

Kentlands' median price runs close to North Potomac and above Rockville, but offers a denser, more walkable lifestyle with a built-in town center that neither of those areas replicates.

Expect roughly 35-45 minutes by car via I-270 South depending on traffic, or a bit longer via the Shady Grove Metro Red Line, which is about a 10-15 minute drive or park-and-ride from Kentlands.
