Kingsview Village
Kingsview is located in the central-northern part of Germantown, accessible from Middlebrook Road and Crystal Rock Drive. The community is primarily townhomes and some single-family detached homes built in the 1990s and 2000s. It’s close to Fox Chapel Elementary, Neelsville Middle School, and Germantown Community Recreation Center.
Housing: Townhomes $350K–$480K. Detached homes $500K–$680K.
HOA: $70–$130/month.
Character: Family-centered, well-maintained, close to schools and parks. Wider internal streets than Churchill Village. Newer construction with front-entry garages on most townhomes.
Commute: I-270 access via Middlebrook Road. Germantown MARC station ~10 minutes. Shady Grove Metro ~15 minutes.
Gunners Lake
Gunners Lake is in the northern section of Germantown, near Black Hill Regional Park. The community has a stronger mix of detached single-family homes alongside townhomes. It’s one of Germantown’s more spacious neighborhoods with proximity to nature — Black Hill’s lake, trails, and recreation areas are within walking or short driving distance.
Housing: Townhomes $340K–$460K. Detached homes $480K–$700K.
HOA: $60–$110/month.
Character: Nature-adjacent, quieter, slightly more spread out. Popular with families who want outdoor access without leaving the neighborhood.
Commute: Slightly farther from I-270 than Kingsview. Best for commuters who use Germantown MARC or work locally along the I-270 corridor.

Moving Into Kingsview or Gunners Lake
Both communities have standard Germantown townhome layouts — 3 levels, narrow staircases, furniture disassembly required for large items. Key differences:
Kingsview has wider streets and better truck access than older villages. Front-entry garages allow direct loading. HOA rules are moderate — notification required, standard moving hours apply.
Gunners Lake has some homes with rear-entry access and longer carry distances from truck to front door. Nature-adjacent means tree-lined streets that can limit truck maneuverability on some blocks.
Our crew knows both communities — we live here. Residential moves in Germantown are our daily work.
