Kentlands is an upper class suburb of Washington, D.C. located in the Gaithersburg city limits. Like its sister development Lakelands, Kentlands is one of the most successful New Urbanism developments in the country. Begun in 1988 on more than 350 acres of farmland previously owned by Otis Beall Kent, the Lakelands and Kentlands communities have grown into a veritable city all their own. By planning the community around an idea of open spaces, symmetry and beauty, the designers of Kentlands have created more of a sculpture than a housing plan.
Located 20 minutes northeast of the Washington, D.C. beltway along Highway 270, Kentlands is in the perfect position for you to have an easy commute to the capital. Many residents living in the area work for the federal government or one of Washington’s many large companies. The city of Gaithersburg, Maryland surrounds Kentlands and Lakelands and offers all the conveniences of a metropolis without the hassles. Gaithersburg has a population of approximately 60,000 people, and many large employers are located here including IBM, Lockheed Martin, Sodexo and ACE*COMM.
In the developments of Lakelands and Kentlands, there are three central shopping and business districts – Market Square, Kentlands Square and the Boulevard Shops. Here you will find grocery stores, banks, offices, stores, boutiques, restaurants and a 10-screen cinema. These gathering places are reminiscent of the charming village square-style architecture found on small town main streets around the country. Many residents enjoy walking past the quaint storefronts, grabbing a cup of coffee or tea at a nearby café or taking in all the sights on a warm fall night. By blending commercial and office spaces with residential properties, the planners of Kentlands have created a self-contained community that provides a variety of resources and services right at every resident’s fingertips. Everything you need is right next door.
What really makes the Kentlands a success is the people that reside here. The community brings people together who have a shared passion for community and family. Every resident takes an active interest to ensure the needs and wants of every person are met for the better of the community. The growth of this community is expected to continue for the near future, and everyone is committed to making the community the best that it can be. The population is diverse and even during this time of economic turmoil, demand remains high for Kentlands and Lakelands real estate. The Kentlands and Lakelands encompass more than 1,800 homes including single family, townhomes, condos and apartments. Without a doubt these neo-traditional communities are two of the most successful urban communities in the country.
