Rockville, Maryland
Rockville is in the greater Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, about 23 miles
northwest of the capital. Everyone is not a D.C. commuter, however, as Rockville
offers its own employment opportunities at such employers as Westat, Inc., Aspen
Systems Corporation, Mid Atlantic Medical Services, and BAE Systems. Some people
who work in Gaithersburg to the north also opt to live in Rockville and commute
against the D.C. traffic. If you do need to commute into D.C., it can take about
45 minutes in off peak times up to two hours during the rush. For most people,
taking the commuter rail into D.C. makes much more sense, so you may want to
inquire if a rental is near a stop.
The population of Rockville is about 60,000. Most of Montgomery County, where
Rockville is located, is fairly diverse and affluent by national standards,
although the whole D.C. area is an expensive place to live, on par with other
metro regions such as Boston, Massachusetts. About 70% of residents are white,
14% Hispanic, 13% Asian, 10% Black, with small percentages of other races and
those of mixed race. Rockville has large and proud Taiwanese, Korean, Indian,
and Jewish communities. The average income per household is about $74,000; for a
family, it's about $83,000.

Things to Do in Rockville
There is a historical side to Rockville, and you can take walking tours of
historical areas. African-Americans played prominently in Rockville's history,
and you can learn more about it by taking a look at some historical sites
including the 1931 Courthouse, the Dr. James Anderson House, Galilean Fisheman's
Temple, and the Second Rockville Colored School. Most of these historical places
are between North Van Buren Street and Hungerford Drive, near Beall Avenue.
The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra plays often at The Music Center at Strathmore.
