Rockville, Maryland, Jan. 26 – Rockville is the best place to live in Maryland, as recently rated by “Money” magazine. “Money” cited Rockville’s “low unemployment and an ultralow crime rate” as attractive to newcomers, as well as its high-ranking schools, shopping and amenities, which “help preserve its hometown appeal.” “The City of Rockville offers the best of both worlds. We have the benefits of a small town while having the opportunities of a big city,” Mayor Bridget Donnell Newton said. “Rockville is a city of neighborhoods. We value the diversity that our residents and businesses bring and are thrilled to see others recognize that we are a special community.” Rockville is the ninth most diverse city in America, according to WalletHub, with more than one-third of the city’s residents born outside the United States, and offers a wide range of cultural opportunities and special events, including the annual Hometown Holidays Music Fest in Rockville Town Center and an annual Lunar New Year celebration.
