Amalyn is a luxury master-planned community of about 304 residences in Bethesda, developed by Toll Brothers and Tri Pointe Homes on a roughly 75-acre site at Greentree Road and the Capital Beltway. The planned mix includes approximately 154 single-family homes, 110 market-rate townhouses, and 40 moderately priced dwelling units (MPDUs). The land was home to the WMAL-AM 630 radio transmitter station from 1941 until 2018 — four nearly 400-foot steel broadcast towers that were a familiar local landmark for decades. The towers were demolished in November 2020, and the community name pays tribute to the station: “Amalyn” from “WMAL AM.” Street names Harden Alley and Weaver Alley honor the hosts of the beloved Harden and Weaver Show.
Amalyn offers modern elevator townhomes and spacious single-family homes. Townhomes start at about 2,600 square feet, while single-family homes range from roughly 4,600 to over 5,900 square feet. A Realtor who understands new-construction pricing, builder options, and resale value in Amalyn can help you evaluate the right fit.
Resort-style amenities include a 4,000-plus-square-foot clubhouse with indoor and outdoor fitness areas, a pool complex with cabanas and splash area, a sun deck, Zen garden, landscaped walking trails, and pocket parks. A red beacon from one of the original WMAL towers is preserved in the clubhouse as a tribute to the site's broadcasting heritage.
