Potomac Living, Rockville Services — The Best of Both Worlds
Horizon Hill is a peaceful, family-friendly neighborhood tucked along Wootton Parkway in the 20854 zip code. While technically within the City of Rockville, the neighborhood shares its zip code with Potomac and sits right on the border—giving residents the feel of Potomac living with the added benefits of City of Rockville municipal services.
The neighborhood features tree-lined streets, generous lots, and a mix of single-family homes. Many original homes have been thoughtfully updated, expanded, or completely rebuilt over the years. Horizon Hill is bordered by Fallsmead to the north, Fox Hills West to the south, and the scenic Watts Branch Stream Valley running through the area.
An active Horizon Hill Homeowners Association helps maintain the neighborhood's character, and the community's central location provides easy access to I-270, Falls Road, Wootton Parkway, and Potomac Village—all within minutes.
Most buyers think of this area as Potomac—and for good reason. The 20854 zip code, the tree-lined streets, and the proximity to Potomac Village all feel distinctly Potomac. But Horizon Hill's location within the City of Rockville means residents get an additional layer of municipal services that unincorporated Potomac neighborhoods don't receive, including city-provided trash and recycling collection, dedicated city police, leaf vacuum collection, recreation programs, and more—all funded by a property tax rate that hasn't increased since 1995.
