Potomac Falls, VA Homes For Sale
As the name implies, the affluent community of Potomac Falls, Virginia, is named for the rushing rapids of the mighty Potomac River, as they gather force, plunging over a series of steep, jagged rock formations. Here you’ll also find some very high end homes for sale, often on large wooded lots. Located in Loudoun County, the village abuts the river and is often associated with neighboring Great Falls. Both communities are part of the larger city of Sterling.
Potomac Falls is a border community in many respects. To the southeast is Fairfax County and on the other side of the river is Maryland. There is a lot of history in this area, including George Washington’s 17-year effort to tame the river through a series of canals and locks. But despite the presence of a few grand old homes, residential development didn’t begin until the 1960s.

It is the detached single-family homes for sale that attract the most attention, however, starting in the solid mid-six figure range and escalating well into the millions.
This wealthy community is known for lots of green space, including the large Algonkian Regional Park with its accompanying golf course. Other golf courses within Potomac Falls include the Potomac Lakes Sportsplex and the prestigious Trump National Golf Club.
Potomac Falls enjoys a reputation as one of the “better” places to live in Washington Metro. Maybe it’s the highly rated Potomac Falls High School along with its powerhouse Panthers athletic program. Or maybe it’s all the natural splendor or even the local amenities and restaurants. Or perhaps it’s the range of homes and condos for sale, including those massive custom mansions. At any rate, it’s a place worth checking out.
