Comprising just 26 brick Colonial homes built by Mitchell & Best in the mid-1980s, Fallsgate is one of Potomac's smallest and lowest-turnover communities, with zero sales recorded in 2025. Fallsgate is an intimate community of 26 homes on Split Tree Circle, a quiet cul-de-sac off Glen Road in Potomac, Maryland. The homes were built in the mid-1980s by Mitchell & Best Homes, one of Maryland's most respected custom builders, known for over 60 Monument Awards including Builder of the Year.
The neighborhood features brick Colonial-style homes ranging from approximately 3,300 to over 5,000 square feet, with four to five bedrooms on lots of roughly a third of an acre. Many homes back to HOA-maintained wooded common areas, offering a sense of privacy and natural setting.
Fallsgate's location on Glen Road puts Potomac Village just minutes away, with easy access to Falls Road, River Road, and the I-495/I-270 corridor. The community is managed by the Fallsgate Homeowners Association with modest annual dues. With only 26 homes, listings here are rare — having a real estate agent who tracks the community closely is key.
Founded in 1975 and based in Rockville, Mitchell & Best has been building custom homes across the Washington, D.C. region for nearly five decades. Their Fallsgate homes reflect the quality construction and thoughtful design that earned them recognition as one of Maryland's premier builders.
