Sheltered by the Ag Reserve
Amid the Agricultural Reserve, Poolesville offers a rural respite from the bustle of nearby Washington, D.C. The Maryland town brushes against the western edge of Montgomery County, six miles from the gentle curve of the Potomac River. “Poolesville has an isolated small-town feel, but it’s connected to the larger world,” says Assistant Town Manager Niles Anderegg. “It’s a nice, proud, well-integrated small town.” With Baltimore’s harbor just 55 miles west and the nation’s capital 30 miles south, it’s also a haven for commuters.
Many homes in Poolesville boast massive yards, some even have pools.
Poolesville offers peaceful rural living, an our from our nation's capital.
