Rockville's newest neighborhood under construction (Photos)


Rockville's newest neighborhood, the Farmstead District, is now well under construction on the former site of King Buick GMC at 16200 Frederick Road and adjoining lots. A sales center is open, and offering tours of completed model homes. Two developers have partnered at the Farmstead District: EYA, which is constructing luxury townhomes with available elevators, and Pulte, which is offering 2-level condominiums and 4-level townhomes. "The Barn," a community center inspired by the barn at the historic adjacent farmstead, is also visible and taking shape now at the site. Among its amenities for residents to enjoy will be a fitness center, seasonal pool, fire pit, and multiple seating areas.

  1. Tinderboxes. Not a good look after the LA fires.

    1. Totally different environment. I challenge you to find development anywhere in this entire region, different from what's pictured.

    2. Most of the houses in the east coast are Sears kit homes, also tinderboxes. Not as much brick as you’d expect (plus, outdated). And the east coast doesn’t catch on fire like California does, thankfully

    3. Every room of every unit has sprinklers. Can you say the same?

  2. Maryland has gone from 'nickel and dimeing' to 'Quarter and dollaring'

  3. EYA used to put out a premium product but their more recent work is complete junk. Look at that cheap construction. Poor architecture. Pack and stack design. And right next to the dump!

    EYA is also a sponsor of Greater Greater Washington which is also a lobbyist group for developers.

  4. They should've mirrored the King Farms neighborhood next to it by having the townhome complexes face side ways with plenty of planted bushes to conceal it and not have them face directly onto the street. Gross and tacky.
