Maryland Montgomery Homes for Sale

KING FARM, LUXURY HOMES, WALKING TO SHOPPING, WALK TO THE PARK, WALK TO METRO.

YES, walk to METRO from King Farm.  There are not many communities within walking distance of the Shady
Grove Metro.  But, for owners of homes in King Farm, the 1/2 mile walk to Metro adds value to their home.

KING FARM, a residential community in Rockville, Maryland.  Remember the “King Farm” barn?  For many years, as we drove along Rockville Pike we would see the big white barn with “KING FARM” painted on the roof visible from the road.  Year after year as residential developments came to the area, we knew it had been permitted for a PUD, Planned Unit Development and just waited and watched.  Then in about 10 years ago, the first signs of
construction went up with a couple of construction roads, a few sales trailers and some pathways and
landscaping and King Farm was selling.  The homes were “different”.  They were deceptively large on small
lots with the 2 car garage in the back of the house and the entire lot with the exception of the driveway was
fenced.  YES, white picket fences.  King Farm has the “feel” of a small town. 

KING FARM OFFERED QUALITY FROM THE BEGINNING.   Builders recognized for quality, well designed homes with style and variety of floor plans made showing homes in King Farm a pleasure. The original builders,  Stanley Martin, K.Hovanian, Churchill Group and M/I Homes offered model homes as quickly as possible and there was the popular “Model Home Park” with a model home for each builder. 

The first homes in King Farm were detached single family home models with spectacular interiors and since King Farm is a high density community with small lots, the first homes were clustered on a block where buyers and agents could easily walk to the models and spec homes under construction by the builders.  Prices were about $400,000 for the first detached single family homes.  The first town homes were priced at about $225,000 and the original condominium homes were in the $175,000 range. 

Today, Condominium homes sell for $350,000-$500,000.  The Town Homes sell for $550,000-$700,000 and detached single family homes sell for $750,000 to the high $900K ranges.  Prices have more than doubled
since construction began.
