Old Farm is a neighborhood of approximately 560 single-family homes in North Bethesda, built between 1963 and 1966 by Kettler Brothers, Inc. The community sits between Montrose Road to the north, Tuckerman Lane to the south, I-270 to the west, and the Tilden Woods Stream Valley Park to the east. Kettler Brothers offered over a dozen distinct Colonial-style floor plans — named after Maryland counties and historic references — creating variety within a cohesive brick Colonial vocabulary on tree-lined streets and cul-de-sacs.
Old Farm is one of four subdivisions that form the Greater Farmland area (along with Tilden Woods, Walnut Woods, and Hickory Woods), which together comprise roughly 1,000 homes. Despite its proximity to I-270 and Rockville Pike, Old Farm feels secluded thanks to winding interior roads and the 65-acre Tilden Woods Stream Valley Park along its eastern edge. A Realtor familiar with the Greater Farmland area can help you understand the nuances between original-condition homes and those that have been renovated or expanded.
The Greater Farmland Civic Association (GFCA) is a voluntary organization ($35/year) that sponsors community events including a Fourth of July parade, publishes a neighborhood newsletter, and advocates on local issues including traffic safety and school redistricting.
Old Farm is part of the Montgomery County Public Schools system. School boundaries are subject to change. For current school assignments, visit the MCPS School Assignment Tool.
