Potomac
Welcome to Potomac
Once populated by horse farms and large agricultural estates, Potomac saw significant suburban development beginning in the 1960's. Today Potomac is a vibrant town with a wide range of home styles and sizes, all centered around Potomac Village. Residents of Potomac have easy access to the hiking and biking trails of the C&O Canal and Potomac River. Many neighborhoods are zoned for one and two acres parcels, creating a more open and slightly more "rural" vibe. But the neighborhoods of Potomac are distinct and varied - some more densely populated with central swim and tennis facilities, others more sprawling and private. While many Potomac residents commute daily to Downtown DC, Bethesda or Northern Virginia, its central Village offers all the conveniences, amenities, dining and food shopping options one could ask for.

Manor-like homes
Many of Potomac's most popular communities are zoned for one and two-acre parcels, creating a more open and slightly rural vibe. But the neighborhoods of Potomac are truly distinct and varied—some more densely populated with central swim and tennis facilities, others more sprawling and private. Here, the average home sells for around $1.2 million, and buyers can choose between both historic and new construction properties.
Unparalleled shopping & dining
Don't be fooled by Potomac's ideal location just minutes from Washington DC—this community has plenty of retail and culinary destinations of its own. Westfield Montgomery, the area's largest shopping mall, showcases more than 1 million square feet of space and three anchor tenants. Locals also love spending time at Pike & Rose, an outdoor shopping complex with trendy shops, restaurants, bowling, an upscale cinema, and a farmers market. And when you're feeling hungry, be sure to dine in style at MoCo's Founding Farmers or Old Anglers Inn.
A+ schools
Even if you don't have children, you'll still benefit from Potomac's vast collection of top public and private schools. These highly rated institutions provide more than just an amazing education—they also help boost property values over time. Most younger residents of Potomac are zoned for Montgomery County Public Schools, an award-winning district that operates 206 total institutions. Many children also attend private schools in Potomac or Washington DC. The Bullis School, the German School of DC, and the Norwood School are just a few popular options.
Unique career opportunities
Potomac has always been a popular spot for anyone looking to shorten their commute into DC, Northern Virginia, or Bethesda. However, Potomac also features quite a few career opportunities of its own along River Road. Many Potomac residents work for the federal government, as well as a number of Fortune 500 companies. The Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Defense, and Montgomery County Schools are just a few of the area's largest employers.
