The community is very well, out of all the different areas we chose this area because the schools are really good. It is also a safe community, even though it may be expensive that is just the are it is in. There is also lots around to do.

I have lived here my whole life, with the exception of college, so I don't really know anything different. The cost of living here is absurd but for me it is close enough that I can be in the city in 30-40 min but far enough that I don't have to deal with the parking and traffic and noise that comes with the city.

I love living in North Potomac. My neighborhood/community is very diverse. My neighbor is safe and clean and my neighbors are very pleasant.
