Garrett Park is a small incorporated town of approximately 1,000 residents spanning about a quarter square mile in Montgomery County, Maryland. Founded in the 1880s by Henry W. Copp as a railroad suburb along the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, the town was designed after an English village model with winding streets named after characters from Scottish literature. Garrett Park was officially incorporated in 1898 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, reflecting its well-preserved character and historical significance.
The housing stock is predominantly pre-1960s, with a mix of original early-20th-century homes and later additions on quiet, shaded streets. The Garrett Park MARC station on the Brunswick Line provides direct commuter rail service to Washington, D.C. The town has its own post office, town hall, and a popular seasonal farmers market. An active town government with an elected mayor and council, along with engaged civic associations, creates a close-knit atmosphere that residents value. Whether you're drawn to the walkability, the commuter rail access, or the historic small-town feel, working with a Realtor who understands Garrett Park's unique market is essential.
