Enjoy more space, peace and quiet, surrounded by nature and mature trees, and easy access to the NIH/Rockville/Bethesda research corridor in this unusually spacious ~1,300 sq. ft. 2-bedroom, 2-full-bath garden-style condo in Gaithersburg.
This is an especially attractive home for NIH researchers, postdocs, fellows, graduate students and trainees who want a peaceful place to work and recharge without paying Bethesda prices for considerably less space.
The location offers convenient access to several major research and employment centers. NIAID laboratories are approximately 4.5 miles away, Rockville and its many NIH facilities are an easy commute, and the main NIH Bethesda campus is approximately a 25+ minute drive depending on traffic. Shady Grove Red Line is a 10 minute drive. Only 4 stops to get to the Main NIH Campus.
Even better, the surrounding area is becoming increasingly convenient in addition to the already abundant existing shopping and retail: a major new shopping and retail development is planned within walking distance, bringing future shopping, dining and everyday conveniences even closer to home—while the condo itself remains tucked into a secluded, small, quiet, wooded, established residential community. It truly is an oasis in Gaithersburg!
THE CONDO The condo features wood flooring, a large private balcony, full-size in-unit washer and dryer, central A/C, gas heat, a gas stove, full kitchen, and a new water heater. The unit is elevated above ground level and located in a peaceful garden-style condominium community. Highlights:

A GREAT HOME BASE FOR THE NIH / RESEARCH COMMUNITY If your work takes you between Gaithersburg, Rockville and Bethesda, this can be a particularly nice alternative to living directly in Bethesda: more room to spread out, easy parking, a quieter residential setting, and convenient access to multiple NIH and research locations.
A current NIH PhD graduate lives in the condo with a cat. Cats, small pets, small dogs may be considered on a case-by-case basis with a small additional pet fee.
The photos only tell part of the story. The beautifully maintained grounds and peaceful setting are best experienced in person, with mature and flowering trees, surrounding woods, a nearby creek, local wildlife, and a charming park just across the street.
