Nestled along the Potomac River, Lansdowne offers an unparalleled quality of life with an array of community amenities, excellent dining options, and convenient access to shopping. Residents can take a dip in one of the multiple community pools, including an indoor pool, or stay active on the tennis courts or with a workout at the fitness center. For those who prefer outdoor activities, there are miles of walking and biking trails, tennis courts, and playgrounds for children.

The community is also home to the Potomac Heritage Trail which runs through it. The trail is part of a network of over 710 miles of paths spanning the mid-Atlantic through Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and Washington DC .
