Potomac Park, MD

Tucked along the North Branch Potomac River, Potomac Park is a small community situated just south of Cumberland along Route 220. Steep mountain ridges frame the valley, giving the area a scenic backdrop while keeping everyday travel straightforward. Living here puts you just minutes from downtown Cumberland for work, dining, and shopping, with quick connections across the river into West Virginia.

The community is best known for the Allegany County Fairgrounds, which hosts the annual county fair, car shows, and seasonal festivals right along the water. Beyond the grounds, you will find quiet residential streets with modest single-family homes, river views, and easy access to outdoor recreation in the surrounding hills. It offers an easygoing, affordable option for anyone looking for peaceful valley living close to the city.
