A riverside suburb on the outskirts of the nation’s capital

River • Great Location • Great Schools • Suburban • Hiking •

The community of North Potomac is perfectly nestled between Gaithersburg, Rockville, and the scenic banks of the Potomac River. This Washington D.C. suburb is a quick 20 miles northwest of the nation’s capital, offering a surplus of fantastic museums, monuments, and restaurants nearby. The quieter community of North Potomac is mainly residential with its wooded parks and dense subdivisions. With the winding Potomac River only five miles away, residents of North Potomac can enjoy abundant nature trails, kayaking, and picnic spots. Outdoor enthusiasts are delighted with the 200+ miles of hiking trails threading through the parks of Montgomery County.

Families of North Potomac have access to terrific public schools. Those looking to continue their education are moments away from the Universities at Shady Grove, where students can dive into interesting courses from nine public Maryland universities. Renters settling down in this friendly suburb can choose from affordable to upscale apartment complexes and quaint single-family townhouses.
