Overall Personality

There is not simply one Potomac. The area provides housing from high density condominiums and townhomes (generally on the eastern side) to large estates and farms in the west. These latter parts tend to take on the appearance of countryside, with a number of estates sporting long white fences common on horse farms. Potomac Village, in the heart of Potomac, is a charming, though fairly significant, shopping center straddling the four corners of the intersection of River Road and Great Falls Rd. This shopping area comprises two grocery stores, restaurants, banks, a large hardware store and a variety of additional, local stores for convenience shopping. In the more densely populated part of Potomac is Westfield Montgomery Mall with over 180 stores situated in approximately 1.5 million square feet. Also nearby is the smaller Cabin John Shopping Center..
