There are many opportunities in Colesville. There are many unique stores, restaurants, pools, and easy access to a variety of main roads to make commuting easier. As part of a high school consortium, there are many options for high school students, no matter what they are interested in.

Great place to live. Family friendly with plenty of parks and great schools. Convenient to other areas with easy commutes to Rockville, Laurel, downtown Silver Spring and more. I love living here and never want to move.
