These days Gaithersburg is a thriving community, melding classic suburban subdivisions with newer urban corridors that promote innovative mixed-use developments. With over ten square miles of land, the city has been a leading proponent of New Urbanism communities, including Crown Farm, Science City and Watkins Mill Town Center, all of which are currently in the construction phase.

As for the existing real estate market, Gaithersburg is one of the more affordable options in Montgomery County. Luxury condo and town home properties outnumber single-family homes by almost two-to-one, and the median sales price is $314,000. That's a healthy cut above the median list of $300,000 and represents a 10.7% gain during 2012, the first meaningful year of recovery since an extended price decline initiated by 2008's national housing crash.

While median values in Gaithersburg remain competitive, there's still pricy single-family homes reaching into the $800,000 range, particularly in the Quince Orchard neighborhood toward the southern border. Another upscale area is Kentland which was one of Gaithersburg's first New Urban communities, constructed on old farmland in 1988. All in all, Gaithersburg has much to offer with great schools, malls and restaurants, and a city government dedicated to smart sustainable growth.
