Peaceful suburbs near DC and Northern VA. I would definitely recommend this area to a single person or couples with no children. If you do have children, you can put them in private schools if you don’t want them in the public schools. It’s a great place to live and get away ...Read More

nd. The best areas are those closer to the Potomac River.
The National Harbour, a waterfront development, is about 15 minutes south of Fort Washington. The development consists of shops, restaurants, a convention center, a casino, condominiums, and several hotels. The Harbour has brought a lot of excitement and opportunities to the area. There have been complaints from longtime residents though, about additional traffic and noise disrupting the community.
One of the downsides of living in Fort Washington is the community itself looking rundown, with many areas becoming eyesores. The school system is not very good and their buildings and facilities need an upgrade. There isn't much to do in the community for children or adults. You have to travel to neighboring towns for dining, shopping, and entertainment.
