About Winterset

Winterset is a well-regarded residential neighborhood in Potomac, Maryland, located off Falls Road near its intersection with Glen Road. The community comprises about 100 single-family homes built in 1972 and 1973, set on generous treed lots ranging from roughly a quarter acre to over 1.5 acres. With larger-footprint homes and a quiet, leafy setting, Winterset reflects the premium character of the Potomac housing market.

The neighborhood has a voluntary homeowners association that organizes neighborhood activities and helps keep the community connected. With no mandatory HOA fees, residents enjoy flexibility while still benefiting from an engaged, friendly community. The walkable, tree-canopied streets create a stable, established atmosphere where neighbors are often out walking, biking, and enjoying outdoor space.
