Neighborhood Description Kentlands is a planned community located in Gaithersburg, MD, not far from I-270. It consists of nearly two thousand homes, many of which were specially designed for the neighborhood by both local and national builders. Kentlands’ modest commercial district is home to an art deco cinema, diner, and skating rink as well as a Fresh Fields Whole Foods Market and its own post office, Kentlands Station. The neighborhood also boasts a wildlife sanctuary, in addition to several man-made lakes. Kentlands was originally the site of a privately owned wheat farm known as Wheatlands. However, by the 1980s it had caught the attention of developers as one of the few remaining undeveloped pieces of land in the Rockville area. The property was purchased in 1988 by Joseph Alfandre, a local developer, who then hired DPZ, the urban planning firm behind one of the nation’s first New Urban communities, Seaside, FL. Together with Gaithersburg’s city officials, DPZ planned and developed the mixed-use neighborhood that would become Kentlands. Today, Kentlands is made up of a number of residential sub-neighborhoods, over one million square feet of commercial space, a burgeoning civic arts center, and a central clubhouse complete with full-time recreation director. The monthly Kentlands Town Crier keeps residents informed of community events like the Kentlands Oktoberfest, Labor Day Bash, and Memorial Day picnic, while an active civic association protects residents’ interests and coordinates community improvements.
