Potomac Chase is one of the largest residential communities in North Potomac, Maryland, with hundreds of single-family homes built primarily by Pulte between 1979 and 1998. The neighborhood features predominantly colonial-style homes ranging from roughly 2,000 to nearly 6,000 finished square feet, situated on lots of a quarter-acre to over half an acre. Floor plans include the Westbridge, Madison, and other Pulte models, and many homeowners have added expansions, finished basements, and modern kitchens over the years. A Realtor who knows Potomac Chase can help buyers distinguish between the various models and lot positions throughout the community.
The neighborhood is anchored by Aberdeen Local Park, located within the community and offering a playground, tennis courts, and open fields for recreation. Streets like Triple Crown Road, War Admiral Way, Native Dancer Road, and Carry Back Drive reflect the community’s thoroughbred racing theme. Mature trees line most streets, and many homes back to wooded common areas or open green space, giving the neighborhood a settled and private feel.
Potomac Chase is located off Darnestown Road (MD-28) in the heart of North Potomac, with easy access to I-270 and the Intercounty Connector (ICC/MD-200). The Kentlands, Downtown Crown, and Washingtonian Rio shopping and dining centers are all within a few minutes’ drive. The Muddy Branch Greenway trail system passes nearby, offering miles of paved paths for walking, running, and biking. Residents enjoy a strong sense of community and convenient access to everything North Potomac has to offer.
Potomac Chase is zoned for Jones Lane Elementary School, Ridgeview Middle School, and Quince Orchard High School. This is a different school cluster than neighboring communities like Dufief and Stonebridge, which feed into Wootton High School.

The majority of homes in Potomac Chase were built by Pulte Homes during the 1980s, with additional homes constructed into the late 1990s. The community features several distinct floor plans, including the Westbridge and Madison models, ranging from compact four-bedroom colonials to expansive five-bedroom homes with walk-out basements. Brick-front facades, two-car garages, and formal living and dining rooms are standard features throughout the neighborhood.
Over the decades, many homeowners have invested in significant renovations. Updated gourmet kitchens with granite or quartz countertops, finished walk-out basements with recreation rooms and guest suites, and expanded outdoor living spaces with composite decking are common throughout the community. Some of the larger homes on premium lots — particularly along High Meadow Way and Young Lane — exceed 5,000 square feet of finished living space and include features like three-car garages, screened porches, and in-ground pools.
Potomac Chase has a homeowners association that manages common areas, enforces architectural guidelines, and organizes community events. HOA dues vary by section and may change from year to year — confirm current dues with the HOA before relying on them. Aberdeen Local Park is maintained by Montgomery Parks (M-NCPPC), not by the HOA. Some sections of the neighborhood have additional or separate HOA arrangements, so buyers should verify the specific dues and rules for any home they are considering.
