Moving to Germantown, MD: All You Need to Know

Hi I'm Kevin Grolig, a Real Estate Agent with Compass in Montgomery County, Maryland. Thinking about moving to Germantown? Let me tell you about the 8 reasons why it's a GREAT place to live! Germantown, MD is by far one of the most affordable locations in Montgomery County and surrounding DC area. Little known fact... Amazingly Germantown is the 3rd largest city in all of Maryland! Only Baltimore and Columbia are larger by population size. This town has grown a lot over the past 30 years! In this video we discuss everything going on in Germantown from Dining 🍽️, to Shopping 🛍️, to Public Transportation 🚊, to Recreation 🎣, to Businesses 👔 and more! Being a MoCo native all my life, and specifically raising a family in Germantown, there's a lot I have learned over the years about the area and much I can share of why it's such a great place in the DMV area.
Some Notable Mentions in the Video:
-🛍️ Wegmans!
-🍽️ Lancaster County Dutch Market
-👔 Hughes
-🏫 Montgomery County Community College Campus
-⚽ Maryland Soccerplex
Not mentioned but definitely a game changer in Germantown.... the recently opened...
-🏌️‍♂️ TopGolf!

    I see a lot of comments about high crime rates. I have lived in Germantown since 2008 and I never felt like crime was so high I needed to move. I had 2 children here and it has been perfectly safe. Like most cities there's going to be crime, they generally happen in certain pockets of the city. Stay away from them, be mindful and vigilant.when you're out and you should be fine. For those moving to Germantown do your research on the community/neighborhood you chose. @Kevin Grolig Thanks for the great video!

    I moved to Germantown from Melbourne, Florida when I was a kid and it was a culture change. Good O Kemp Mill Records, Lakeforest Mall and Chuck Levins Music Store where my hot spots. One thing about Germantown is you can always get some really good seafood there as in many parts of Maryland. So from age 14 to 21 I grew up there - such great memories. I still miss that lil town even after moving to Ohio 30yrs ago. To walk Clopper Road or Game Preserve Road at night was special LoL! Almost died on Game Preserve Road in a terrible car crash. There used to be a rope swing by the stream there? My wife and our kids are from Ohio but every year we make our trip to OC and make a pit stop in Germantown on our way back because thats the story of my life right now Lol! :)

    The Chuck Levins store is the best my parents bought me a trumpet during elementary school. It's also crazy you mention Ohio because today I learned today on Instagram Maps that there's also a Germantown in Ohio that's ALSO IN Montgomery County 😂😂😂, this one fascinated me, which led me to this video

    My wife and I moved here to Germantown September 2020 and we are loving it here. Everything is so close and the schools are great. I work at Woodmont Country Club in Rockville so the commute is not bad at all, considering I used to commute from essentially BWI airport every single day! Thanks for the info! We still have plenty of places to check out!

    Welcome! I'm a few years late to your comment but I hope you have settled in nicely. I settled here in 2008 from Columbia MD and raised my beautiful family here. It was hard leaving my utopia of Columbia but I have to say going back now I am happy I did. It is so congested there, Germantown is very reminiscent of what Columbia was when I grew up there. Definitely check out Butlers Orchard and Waters Orchard. They Doc Waters cidery is a great outdoor space to enjoy cider and the outdoors.

    @@KevinGrolig Thanks! You too! One thing that does concern me is safety. It's probably tops on my list, along with commute. I've seen some people recently say online that the crime rates and public nuisances in both Germantown and Gaithersburg are getting uncomfortable and there are certain parts you shouldn't be near at night. I know every major town has their own issues and such and I'm sure it's NOTHING like NYC, but part of the reason I'm bailing on NY is the crime rates and high cost of living (you have no idea how high taxes and real estate costs are up here on Long Island! Lol). Just how safe are those two towns?
