Clarksburg Real Estate & Homes for Sale in Maryland

Located in northern Montgomery County, Maryland, the community of Clarksburg is no longer the sleepy, small town it once was a decade ago. Even though it still retains its charming, calm, rural atmosphere, Clarksburg has in fact become a growing residential development through the establishment of a large planned community. The Clarksburg Master Plan features policies that “carefully guide the growth of Clarksburg from a rural settlement into a transit and pedestrian-oriented town surrounded by open space.” Plans include a transportation system that will reduce residents’ dependency on personal vehicles to get in and around Clarksburg; further urban development without compromising farmland and the natural environment, especially that of the Ten Mile Creek and Little Seneca Creek; and the building of the multi-use Town Center, which would include a number of civic, park, and retail uses.

Approximately 12,000 residents currently call Clarksburg home and are proud to raise their children and families in this community. Children in Clarksburg attend the nationally-recognized Montgomery County Public Schools district. A new elementary school and high school have been built in Clarksburg to accommodate residents: Clarksburg Elementary School and Clarksburg High School. High school graduates and adult learners who are ready to make the jump into a collegiate learning environment have a number of area colleges and universities to choose from, including American University, University of Maryland, Marymount University, Montgomery College, Frederick Community College, and Howard Community College.
