Welcome to Fort Washington, MD

Fort Washington is a quiet community located along the Potomac River in Prince George’s County. The fort itself – and the town’s namesake – was once the only fort protecting Washington, D.C. Today, it’s overseen by the National Park Service and is open for public tours. Both visitors and Fort Washington real estate owners alike also enjoy the many recreational opportunities offered by the 340-acre park that surrounds the fort.

Outside of the fort, Fort Washington real estate boasts waterfront homes, two marinas, and the Tantallon golf course. The proximity of the town’s neighborhoods to Washington, D.C. and its accessibility via the Capital Beltway makes Fort Washington real estate especially appealing to commuters. Other attractions include the town’s schools, in particular Friendly High School, and its wealth of amenities, from art shows to concerts at the Harmony Hall Regional Center. As a result of all the town has to offer, more than 24,000 residents call Fort Washington real estate home.
