A 2022 rankings study of Southern towns under 5K residents placed 7 Maryland communities on its list, while noting some housing figures lag market conditions.
Maryland's highest placements:
Brookmont #5
Kensington #8
Chevy Chase View #9
Derwood #11
Chevy Chase Village #13
Martin's Additions #17
Chevy Chase Town #25
Housing values spanned widely in Maryland, from Derwood at $546.3K to Chevy Chase Village at $1.9M, with Brookmont above $1M and Kensington near $800K.
Several Maryland entries near DC blended village character with Metro access, parks, or strong schools; Chevy Chase Village also averaged zero violent crimes yearly.
The study also cautioned that housing values and costs used in the ranking did not fully reflect Maryland's current market, making fresh local guidance useful.
