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.
