About Fox Hills West
With 18 homes sold in 2025 at a $1.18M median, Fox Hills West is one of Potomac's larger and more active communities, offering 12 original Pulte floor plans and community trails along Watts Branch Park. Fox Hills West is a well-established community of 552 homes nestled in Potomac, Maryland. Built by Pulte Development Company between 1968 and 1973, the neighborhood is officially designated as "Potomac Commons" in property deeds and recorded covenants.
The community sits west of Route 270, east of Watts Branch Park, north of Copenhaver, and south of Rockville's Horizon Hill. This central location offers easy access to major commuter routes while maintaining the quiet, tree-lined character that defines Potomac living.
Fox Hills West is known for its mature landscaping, community trail system, and the red foxes that give the neighborhood its name. The Fox Hills West Citizens Association, incorporated in January 1971 as a 501(c)(4) nonprofit, oversees community covenants, organizes events including an annual garage sale, and maintains the neighborhood directory. Annual membership dues are just $40. Whether buying or selling here, a Realtor who understands the 12 original home models and community covenants can make all the difference.
