At EYA, building neighborhoods means more than creating thoughtfully designed homes — it’s about fostering connections that turn neighbors into friends. That spirit came to life at our recent homebuyer event in the Nottingham model home at Northside in Potomac, MD, where future neighbors gathered for an afternoon of food, conversation and community.
The event featured Steven and Ryan from ABW Appliances, who showcased the appliances at Northside, including the optional induction cooktops. Homebuyers had the chance to experience the speed, safety, and efficiency of induction cooking, while also enjoying demonstrations of additional modern kitchen features.
One homeowner noted, “Seeing the demo really helped me picture how easy these appliances will make everyday cooking. It’s a whole new way of thinking about the kitchen.”
In addition to the live cooking demonstrations, Ryan from ABW shared simple, everyday tips for getting the most out of new appliances — from dishwasher care to maximizing convection oven performance.
As guests mingled and shared their homebuying journeys to Northside, a common thread emerged: this wasn’t a decision made overnight. Many spoke of the careful thought and research that went into choosing a new brownstone — and the features that made Northside the clear choice.
- “The private elevator option was huge for us,” one homebuyer shared. “It makes the home flexible for the future.”
- Others pointed to the spacious open layouts and private rear yards, ideal for entertaining or quiet evenings at home.
- The lock-and-go lifestyle was also a draw. As one resident put it, “We wanted a home where we didn’t have to worry about mowing the lawn or shoveling snow. Northside gives us that freedom.”
- And with Park Potomac adjacent to the brownstones, buyers appreciated the convenience of shops, dining, and everyday essentials just steps away.
- For many, EYA’s long-standing reputation for quality and community sealed the decision.
The event wrapped up with plenty of laughter, shared food, and new friendships, and showcased the community that is already taking shape. And for future Northside residents, it was not just a cooking class, but a glimpse into the vibrant, connected community they’ll soon call home.
