When we decided to plant the RPM Regions flag right here in Colonial Beach, it wasn’t just about convenience, it was about community. This town isn’t just where our office is located; it’s where our family works, lives, and builds something that lasts.
From the view outside the CoBe building to the sound of waves down by the pier, this place moves at a different pace, a pace that says, “Stay awhile.”
Where Past Meets Present (and the Future Looks Bright)
Colonial Beach may be small in size, but it’s huge in history.
Once nicknamed the “Playground on the Potomac,” this charming town was a favorite weekend escape for D.C. residents in the early 1900s. Steamboats would roll in with tourists ready to enjoy one of Virginia’s largest public beaches, and those who came often came back for life.
And let’s talk bragging rights:
– James Monroe, the fifth U.S. President, was born just up the road. His birthplace is preserved today and still draws visitors.
– Alexander Graham Bell had a summer home right here in town. That’s right, the guy who literally invented the phone used to kick back in Colonial Beach.
– Torrey Smith, two-time Super Bowl champ and NFL wide receiver, grew up right here. Safe to say Colonial Beach has talent in its water.
And Then There’s Dahlgren…
Just a short drive from town is Naval Support Facility Dahlgren, a cornerstone of defense innovation since 1918. It’s more than just a military base, it’s a hub of science, technology, and opportunity.
Many of the service members, contractors, and civilian professionals stationed at Dahlgren choose to live right here in Colonial Beach. Why? Because they know what we know: this place offers a quality of life you just can’t find in most military-adjacent towns.
Whether you’re PCSing to the area or looking to make a smart move, this connection brings stability and long-term value to the local housing market.

Why It Matters That We’re Local
We didn’t just drop into Colonial Beach, we dug in.
We work here. We shop here. We raise our daughter here. We wave at the same golf carts passing our window each morning from the historic CoBe building, a space that, much like our company, is full of legacy and new energy.
At Real Property Management Regions, we don’t manage properties from afar.
We manage them like neighbors. Because we are.
