City’s MPDU Program Opens Door to Affordable Homeownership
May 1, 2026

Looking to buy a home but worried about affordability? Eligible households can apply to buy homes at reduced prices.
The city’s Moderately Priced Dwelling Unit Homeownership program requires for-sale properties to be available to Rockville residents at more affordable prices than market-rate homes. Under the program, homebuilders are required to set aside a certain percentage of affordable for-sale homes. Prospective homebuyers must meet specific requirements to maintain ownership and eligibility.
Get added to the list in three easy steps to receive a call when MPDU homes are available:
- Attend a first-time homebuyer class.
- Obtain a mortgage pre-approval letter from your bank.
- Complete the city’s MPDU homeownership application online.
