About Falls Orchard

Falls Orchard is a neighborhood of approximately 90 to 100 single-family homes along Orchard Way in Rockville, Maryland, with a Potomac mailing address (20854). Developed by Apple Valley, Inc. and platted in five sections between 1963 and 1966, homes here are primarily brick colonials and split-levels built in the mid-to-late 1960s on lots averaging around a third of an acre.

Falls Orchard is adjacent to Potomac Woods, and the two subdivisions are represented by the Potomac Woods Citizens Association (PWCA), founded in 1964. While each is a separate subdivision in MLS records, they share the same school assignments, access to nearby amenities, and a voluntary citizens association. A Realtor who understands the distinctions between these adjoining neighborhoods can help you find the right fit.

Located just off Falls Road near Democracy Boulevard, Falls Orchard offers convenient access to I-270 and I-495 for commuters. Potomac Woods Park (42 acres), Falls Road Local Park with Hadley's Playground, and the nearby Potomac Woods Swim Club provide recreation within walking distance. As your local real estate agent, we can help you explore what Falls Orchard has to offer.
