Right on the sparkling water of the Potomac sits the neighborhood of Carderock. This residential area is located just south of TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm, and though it is close to 495, it attracts none of the traffic of the nearby cities. Within Carderock is the Naval Surface Warfare Center, which creates an environment that fosters a community that values a strong education, science and technology. Residents are also able to retreat on a hike, picnic or fishing expedition at Carderock Recreation Area Pavilion.
