From 4-star restaurants to a myriad of retail shopping options, this gem of Maryland is a fantastic place to call home.

What is the history of Potomac?

Taking its name in 1881, the Potomac region grew quickly and steadily. By 1902 a general store was established, and throughout the 1920s and 1930s a quick succession of homes were constructed. By the 1940s the former farming community was largely a homestead comprised of working-class families, and retail shops rose in number throughout the 1980s to accommodate. Today, Potomac apartments cater to affluent residents, making it a very in-demand locale.

How is the weather in Potomac?

Spring tends to bring with it the rainfall, although fall is often conversely crisp and dry. Summers can be hot and often humid, while winters are chilly, with snowfall typical but rarely fierce.

What is the Potomac commute like?

Traffic in the city tends to move at a general brisk pace, and Maryland State Highway 189 acts as the primary thoroughfare across town. Maryland State Highway 190 is the most-used roadway for those commuting to the Washington, DC job market, and while it can see standard gridlock on most work days, it still moves faster typically than most other major highways of its type.

What are the local media outlets?

The 'Washington Post' is the most widely-read newspaper in the city, and radio leans towards formats such as jazz, classical and political talk for the most part. Broadcast television is also easy to come by, including regional affiliates of major networks such as FOX and NBC.

What Potomac landmarks should I see?

The Ohio Canal Historical Park offers boat rides along the famed waterway, and the Falls Road Golf Course is consistently ranked as a popular 9-holes. The Moore Colonial Farm is popular with both history buffs and children alike (gotta love those goats!), and Cabin John Village is an excellent spot to hunt for craft bargains. Don't forget about the steaks at the Old Angler's Inn!

Any annual festivals or Potomac events to know?

The Swedish Festival is a popular annual event in the city, complete with cuisine and music, while the nearby DC Bluegrass Fest brings its toe-tapping tunes to the area every March. A number of ongoing art gallery mini-fest happen in the city almost monthly, and farmer's markets are also in steady supply throughout the year, highlighted in the autumn months with fresh cider and pumpkins just in time for Halloween.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Slightly more economic rentals can also be found for those eager to enjoy Potomac on a smaller scale, and the city's close proximity to Highway 190 make it an in-demand option for numerous commuters. Wherever you end up, one thing is for certain - Potomac apartments are the cream of the crop when it comes to Maryland living!
