Located north of Washington DC in Montgomery County, Boyds, Maryland consists of an area measuring 27.54 miles, which is home to a population of over 2,000 people. Boyds real estate is growing rapidly, in tandem with the significant population growth that has occurred since the year 2000. Located just 25 miles north of the capital city, Boyds is facing a decision that involves either holding on to its rural character and farming roots, or continuing to develop into a more modern community. The adjacent community of Germantown has grown by approximately 2,000 households per year.
The city is home to great outdoor escapes that include the Black Hill Regional Park and Little Seneca Lake, and Boyds is also undergoing multi-thousand home developments such as "The Vistas," near the intersection of Route 118 and Richter Farm Road. This development has helped drive Boyds real estate for homebuyers who are looking for a house in a rural and small town with close proximity to Washington DC.
The Black Hill Nature Center was added to Boyds' Black Hill Regional Park, which spans 1,843 acres, built to provide insight to the public about the wildlife and natural resources that are found in Boyds. Several adult education programs are held at the nature center, and many programs focus on aquatic life that is found on Little Seneca Lake. Other activities are available and include hiking, bike riding, picnicking, volleyball courts, and exercising. At Boyds' Black Hill Lake, naturalist guides are available to take small groups on pontoon boat tours to examine aquatic life and enjoy beautiful sunsets. The Soccerplex and Discovery Sports Center also accentuate the community of Boyds, attracting a high level of participation from residents.
Boyds embodies old time values and true American patriotism, and has long been a center of mining activity. There is an abundance of newly protected land that holds significant potential for mineral extraction. The community of Boyds has worked hard to protect this land for more than 30 years.
Boyds real estate appeals to nature enthusiasts, as well as those who seek to get away from it all. The community offers one the best of both worlds - a rural retreat that is close enough so one can commute to the nation's capital.
