Victory Terrace sits quietly at 9440 Newbridge Dr in Potomac, nestled among the trees of Montgomery County, Maryland, where folks aged 62 and older can find an easier way to live without too much fuss or noise, which some people like after a busy life. Residents pick from spacious one- or two-bedroom apartments, each with a full kitchen that has a breakfast bar, plush wall-to-wall carpeting, generous closet space like pantry, walk-in, and foyer closets, individually controlled heat and air, bay windows, and handy touches like dishwashers and disposals, so it feels like home without being too fancy or hard to keep up. The place gets a 4 out of 5 review rating, and the ORA™ research score of 75/100 shows most folks find it to their liking, though nothing's perfect. While the building is no-frills in style, it's all made to help seniors live on their own, with thoughtful accessibility features, ground floor units, and wheelchair access for those who need it, plus pet-friendly rules if a person wants to keep a companion close by.
People here get help with day-to-day things if they need it-staff manage medicines, cook meals, give personal care, and step in with respite care if the main caregiver needs a break, so families can rest a bit easier knowing someone's checking in, but there's always a focus on staying as independent as a person can. Victory Terrace offers both independent and assisted living, and there's a dedicated onsite management team who handle repairs and problems, so folks don't have to worry about fixing things themselves. Residents can join activities and wellness programs in the Linden and Magnolia rooms, go to educational seminars, or take part in social gatherings like seasonal celebrations, and there's a Connects Life Enrichment Program that covers physical, social, and even spiritual needs, which makes days fill up in a good way.
Amenities cover most of what folks hope for-a fitness center, a business center and computer lab, library, laundry room, media room, salon, and a community room with a kitchen. Residents can try the walking trails or sit outside by the koi pond; there's an outdoor patio for quiet or for chatting with neighbors. For people who still drive, there's parking; those who don't can use the community's transportation options. The grounds feel peaceful, thanks to the woods and the sound of the pond, and inside, the bright apartments let in a lot of daylight, making the rooms cheerful. Rents are moderate for the DC Metro area, with the aim that living here is affordable but still feels like a step up from regular apartments. Things stay calm and steady, with a focus on routine, safety, and comfort, which many seniors and their families appreciate.
