Silver Spring is the mixing bowl of so many cultures in an urban city. As for Rockville is a little bit more upper class suburban and not so cultural diverse.

[@andrey9665]

I lived in Rockville for a year and i lived in Silver Spring for 10 years. I do agree with you on that bother areas downtown and business districts feels different. It all depends on what you like. Both areas are great to live in. I personality love Silver Spring and Wheaton area more. Titus a little more diversity in Sliver Spring.

Thank you so much for this video! I'm moving to Washington DC from Australia and I have no idea what I'm doing, I've never been to the US and I couldn't believe the DC rents when I saw them. (I know the rents there are not emblematic of the US in general). It's hard to get a feel for areas based on articles alone, so this was really helpful. On first impression, I think Silver Spring looks nicer

Rockville, definitely has more of a small-town feel - which I enjoy (although I lived in Manhattan)....with access to pretty much everything you'll need.

[@CarynGardiner]

Agree! I used to live in nyc too! ☺️

[@R.Williamss]

Yeah it does but as long as you're not on the pike, lol-- folks drive crazy on the Pike.

[@dme1016]

@ZA V IA Go for it. Rockville is diverse, but SS's diversity is more noticeable bcuz it's larger, and has areas that are much more "hood" like....and I say that with all due respect.

[@rickcross5377]

Love your videos!!! I’m from Montgomery County and I love your breakdown of each area

[@CarynGardiner]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate you!

[@xkcash_238]

Silver spring tops imo. Downtown looks and feels like your in a major city. The mall is rly cool and I like the restaurants and how close it is to DC as well.

[@CarynGardiner]

Nice!

[@deanevangelista6359]

Silver Spring is more “organic,” and developed over time. Rockville’s downtown was completely razed for “urban renewal” in the 1960s, and replaced with a mall. That mall was later razed, and a new town center was built where a strip shopping center was. That strip center was built where there was once a thriving black community. Maybe in 50 years, Rockville will have more of an organic feel. Rockville is also an incorporated city, with its own government. Silver Spring is not incorporated, with its borders defined only by zip codes.

Rockville feels more diverse overall. Silver spring feels more like a city. Personally I pick Rockville because it have more trendy areas near Gaithersburg and Bethesda.

[@officialalonzo263]

Silver Spring is more similar to Uptown DC (Columbia Heights & Petworth Area) and Rockville is more similar to the Upper Northwest area (West of Rock Creek Park). That’s how I look at it, one is more Urban and the other is more Upper class suburban.

[@CarynGardiner]

Good insight. Where do you live?

I like Rockville I’ve been living in gibs street for years now nd I love it...silver spring ain’t bad tho just too many ppl

[@mbwell]

SS is really nice, but there is lots of traffic in the area. For example, Chevy Chase is approximately 7 miles away, but could easily take 1 to 1 1/2 hours returning home. Post COVID, it may have gotten better since a lot of folks work from home.

[@R.Williamss]

Yeah I like the Rockville feel better because it's more slow
