Fort Washington Overview

Located just south of the Washington, DC metro area and boasting an ever-growing population of around 24,000 proud residents, the fittingly named Fort Washington is an ideal homestead for anyone considering a move to Maryland. Brimming with area schools and plenty of career opportunities, this ever-growing census-designated place has remained a popular draw for good reason.

What is the history of Fort Washington?

Taking its name from the defensive structure completed in 1809, Fort Washington was the site of many historic battles and events throughout the Civil War. Largely a rural area until the 1960s, the city has since seen a steady influx of new development and suburbs, acting as a bedroom community for much of the Washington, DC job market. 

How is the weather in Fort Washington?

Summers are hot and humid, with steady rainfall typical throughout much of the year. Spring can see an exceptional amount of precipitation, and Autumn is highlighted by cool, crisp evenings and plenty of leaf colors. Winter can see snow, although heavy accumulation is uncommon.

How do I get around town?

Most residents of Fort Washington apartments own at least one car or truck, although taxis and ride sharing partners are also popular. Public transportation is handled largely by the DC market, including the largest airport in the region. Bicycling is another increasingly-hip mode of getting around town, with several bike lanes added in recent years.

What is the Fort Washington commute like?

Maryland Route 210 acts as a primary highway in the area, and the infamous Beltway also provides a way in and out of DC proper. Those commuting to the nation's capital can expect daily sluggish conditions, thanks to roadwork, fender benders and typical 9-to-5 traffic flow. 

What are the local media outlets?

Radio is a diverse affair, ranging from jazz and sporting news to classic rock and, of course, political talk formats. Broadcast television is similarly extensive, thanks to the affiliates located in the DC scene. The 'Washington Post' acts as the major print news source in the city. 

Why live in Fort Washington, MD?

Offering plenty in the way of both scenic public parks, historic landmarks and easy access to one of the nation's most famous cities, apartments in Fort Washington are an excellent option for anyone in the market for a new Maryland locale to call home. Local schools are consistently given high marks, and the convenient onramp of the Beltway make commuting a breeze. With east coast charm to spare, Fort Washington rentals are an ideal way to get to know Maryland.

What Fort Washington landmarks should I see?

The John Addison Concert Hall is an excellent spot for taking in some high drama, while the Maryland-National Capital Park is a popular spot for relaxing and bird watching. Fort Washington Hospital has been serving area residents for decades, and the Harmony Hall Regional Center is noted for its impressive architectural flair.

What is there to do around Fort Washington?

Fort Washington offers a public park complete with historic landmarks and spectacular views of the Potomac River, and the Livington Square Shopping Center is a great spot to hunt for bargains. Proud Mary's offers Cajun-inspired cuisine as well as excellent water views, and the Capital Ferris Wheel is an excellent date night option for couples living in Fort Washington apartments.

Any annual festivals or Fort Washington events to know?

The Sunshine Coast Asian Food Festival is a popular event, complete with plenty of tasty treats, and the Supernova Ska Festival assembles a horde of bands paying tribute to the classic Jamaican music every spring. The annual SummerFest and Crab Feast is a welcome party for both the ears and taste buds, combining soulful jazz and plenty of seafood delights.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Washington DC is, of course, an easy and excellent nearby vacation possibility, from the Smithson Museum exhibits to the live music mecca of the 9:30 Club. Baltimore offers much in the way of museums and water scenery, not to mention world famous seafood, and the fishing and camping options of rural Maryland make excellent vacation options for the outdoor fans.

Where is the best place to move in Fort Washington?

"Whether you are looking for an economic and functional commuter apartment, close to the offramp of Route 210, or are on the hunt for a luxurious four-bedroom Fort Washington apartment complete with pet-friendly policies and plenty of reserved, onsite parking, we are confident that the ultimate Maryland rental is out there waiting for you. So why let another day go by without a Fort Washington apartment of your very own? Start your search today, and start each morning by saying 'Good day, Maryland!"". "
