What’s Best About Living in Potomac?

Brigitte Oertel: “Potomac is ideally located for driving downtown as well as out into the country. It has maintained its rural character which is what distinguishes it from other nearby communities. For recreation, there are many parks with tennis courts, soccer and baseball fields and playgrounds, and for hikers and bikers Great Falls Park and the C&O Canal are only a few miles away. Stores are just minutes away in Bethesda and Rockville and the Strathmore Music Center and Glen Echo Park offer a variety of programs in music and art.”

Deepa and Grace Lazarous: “We love the River Falls community and the people who live in it! Our neighbors are always watching out for the safety of your family. I feel very secure letting my kids go by themselves anywhere within our community.”

H. David Meyers: “Potomac is all about the wonderful people who live here. I’ve lived here more than 30 years and I love the diversity, the opportunities for interesting and intellectual conversations and the wealth of activities in our region from classical music to sports to politics. We are fortunate to have the Potomac Village gathering place near Starbucks!”

Dr. Som Grigorian: “Potomac is so international and a beautiful place to live. I love coming to Starbucks in the Village to meet old friends for interesting discussions – and to make new friends.”

William Maghrablian: “I’ve lived here in Potomac for 40 years and I love the people who live here. I enjoy coming to the Village because I always connect with my friends. It is just a wonderful place to live.”

David Zenian: “It’s cosmopolitan, civilized and quiet. The people who live here are good neighbors. I have lived and traveled the world reporting for the United Press International, very often in war-torn countries. We came back here because it is a beautiful and peaceful place to live. We are very happy here.”

Grigsby Family (Mom Stacey with children Sherlock, Jamie, Thalia and Andrew, and Stacey’s parents Barbara and Joel Kamya): Stacey said “We love the green spaces in Potomac.” Thalia said, “We have a lot of room to play because our backyard is bigger than our old one.” Sherlock says, “I love our pool and back yard.” Stacey’s dad Joel and Barbara are from North Carolina. “We think Potomac is really pretty and a nice place to live and visit.”

Violetta, Adam and Alexander Bazyluk: “We moved to Potomac 5 years ago and found that is it a perfect place in the woods close to the city,” says Violetta. “We even back up to a stream. We like everything about living here in Potomac. The schools are also great and we have a wonderful community.” Adam says, “I like fishing for catfish in the Potomac River near the Canal. It’s really fun!” Alex says, “I went to Calleva Camp this summer and they took us swimming in the rapids! It was the best!”

Jill Lavin: “I love the bike paths, the Canal, the outdoor seating in Potomac Village by Starbucks where I always see someone I know, the proximity to DC and three international airports. I love playing tennis and golf with my friends. We love living here!”

Julie Chapman: “We really value all the local businesses such as Sprinkles, Potomac Grocer and others that add a personal touch of character and service to our town.”

Eric Maurer: “I live in Cabin John, and I love it because it is close to the Potomac River and the C&O Canal. I also enjoy coming into the Village to Strosnider’s Hardware and the other stores.”
