Downsizing and senior relocation in Fort Washington.
Fort Washington strings along the Potomac River bluffs south of the Beltway, holding some of the most beautiful waterfront neighborhoods in the region, including Tantallon and Fort Foote. The housing is largely mid-century ramblers and colonials on large, wooded, often water-adjacent lots. Vashon Hargrove helps Fort Washington families sell those homes well and right-size into single-level and senior options that keep the river views close.
Potomac River living, taken seriously
Communities like Tantallon sit right on the Potomac, so the view, the breeze, and the water are part of daily life. That makes leaving the big house a genuine lifestyle decision, and Vashon treats it that way, helping families see what they would gain as well as what they would leave.
Mid-century homes on large lots
Ramblers, brick colonials, and split-levels from the mid-1900s dominate, often on large wooded lots with decks, gardens, and years of accumulated maintenance. Families benefit from an honest read on what to fix before selling, what price tells the truth about the property, and how to time the sale around the move.
Senior and single-level options nearby
Fort Washington holds 55+ and 62+ apartment communities, and the National Harbor and Oxon Hill corridor adds dining, waterfront walks, and services a short drive away. Prince George's County's older-adult programs provide the county-level support for staying close.
