Spacious living on landscaped lots in Seven Locks
Seven Locks is a spacious, grassy suburb in southwest Potomac. "Residents are attracted to the many schools in the area and nearby amenities, such as Cabin John Village and proximity to the Beltway," says Caroline Heinen, real estate agent and consultant for the Graciela Haim & Heinen Group. The main residential subdivision in Seven Locks is Burning Tree Estates, made up of sizable homes on well-landscaped lots. Cabin John Trail is within walking distance of most homes in Seven Locks, while several golf or country clubs surround the neighborhood, and residents can pick up memberships. Seven Locks also holds a 1 out of 10 score on the CAP Crime Index, the lowest possible score, while the U.S. national average stands at a 4 out of 10 for comparison.

Custom homes on wide lawns in a suburban layout
In the well-established subdivision of Burning Tree Estates, there are smaller, midcentury modern homes that start at around $1 million. In comparison, larger New Traditional styles cost $2 million or more and offer more square footage, larger lots, and upgraded finishings. While there are many single-family homes, some subdivisions include condos and townhouses, like the small, gated community of Quarry Springs. Prices vary in the area, but Heinen says prices rise the closer the home is to downtown Bethesda and DC. Townhouse options are still coming soon in the gated community of Quarry Springs in the neighborhood's south end. Most homes sit on wide, residential streets that branch off Seven Locks Road and end in cul-de-sacs or small roundabouts. Brad Rozansky, a broker with Compass, says, "Burning Tree Estates has had a fair amount of teardowns because people like the lots there." The average household income in Seven Locks is above $220,000, which is triple the national average of $71,000. Seven Locks hosts one of two homes in the state designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The famed architect designed the Robert Llewelyn Wright house for his son, who worked at the Justice Department and resided in Potomac. The home is still a private residence and doesn't take tours.

Residents can stroll along the Cabin John Valley Trail from home
The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal runs along the Potomac River and is about a ten-minute drive from most homes. The Canal offers several hiking trails for varying skill levels. For a more leisurely experience, there's the C&O Canal Towpath, while a more arduous route is along the Billy Goat Trail, which features more rugged terrain. Cabin John Stream Valley Trail is within walking distance for residents as it cuts through the middle of Seven Locks. Cabin John Local Park offers a playground, softball field, and basketball and tennis courts. Seven Locks has several golf courses and country clubs on all sides. The Bethesda Country Club is a members-only center just north of Bradley Boulevard and features a massive clubhouse, an 18-hole golf course and several tennis courts. There's also the storied Congressional Country Club to the west, where members of Congress routinely tee off on one of the club's 36 holes since it opened more than a century ago. Notable visitors include former presidents like Barack Obama, George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton. This club has hosted the 1997 U.S. Open and several PGA Tour events since then. Just east of the Capitol Beltway is Burning Tree Club, an all men's golf club formed in 1922.
Many runners and cyclists frequent the Cabin John Trail for its stunning views of nature.

Next to the Capitol Beltway for D.C area commutes
Seven Locks is bordered to the east by Interstate 495, also called the Capitol Beltway. This highway loops around the greater D.C. area and allows access to Tyson's Corner Center, the largest mall in the D.C.-Baltimore area, in under 8 miles or Downtown D.C. in 15 miles. However, beltway traffic is notoriously dense during rush hour. The Medical Center metro station is the closest rail access, and the Red Line bound train is 5 miles east of the neighborhood. It is near the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. Ride On, the Montgomery County bus line, has stops along Seven Locks Road, River Road to the south and Bradley Boulevard to the north.
