Poplar Run is one of the last remaining new home communities in lower Montgomery County close to the I-495 DC beltway.  The community will offer 773 new single family homes and townhomes.  One of our goals at Winchester Homes is to reconstruct and enhance the special environmental areas in the community better than they were before we purchased the land.  We have been working hard on environmental planning for seven years.  There is a dedicated team of specialists working with Montgomery County, the State of Maryland and other officials to design and build a community where the environment enhances the quality of living. 

Since the Poplar Run community is being built on the site of the former Indian Springs Country Club golf course, there are lots of stream beds, tree areas and environmental spaces throughout the community.  Many exceptional plans are underway for making Poplar Run the premier environmental community.  

• Of the 308 acre site, virtually all of the 100 acres of stream valley buffer will be protected. 
• There will be 67 acres reforested and 29 acres of existing forest retained in the community.  This will allow us to be well above the afforestation threshold of more than 46 acres. 
• Many stream restoration projects will be underway to help restore the natural stream beds throughout the community.  This will help the environment around the stream beds by allowing the water to naturally flow into the Anacostia waterway and downstream to the Chesapeake Bay. 

These are just some of the ways our environmental planning is making Poplar Run a great place to call home.  View one of our environmental planning and information video’s to learn more about how Poplar Run is one of the best environmentally planned communities in the Washington DC region.

A big part of the environmental design of the Poplar Run community allows for 50% of the community to be in passive and active open space including a 70-acre expansion of the Northwest Branch stream valley park.  By focusing on the environmental elements of the community, it allows us to create amenities like hard surface and natural surface trails connecting to regional trail systems that provide hiking or biking opportunity to Northwest branch, Rock Creek and Beach Drive trails and beyond.  To see more about Poplar Run, please visit us online.

Winchester Homes is in the business of selling houses - true.  However,  at the sales launch this weekend for Poplar Run, one of the key reasons future homeowners were comfortable sitting at the contract table was because of the positive experience they had with the Winchester employees who volunteered their time throughout the weekend to help with the event.  Clients had the opportunity to meet one-on-one with the Your Home.Your Way. team and discuss opportunities to refine and add on to the existing floorplans being offered.  Winchester Home Loans had their team standing buy to help with any mortgage questions.  Winchester employees from all departments - senior managers, warranty, land, purchasing, administration - were standing by to help with questions and basically convey how much the entire team values our home buyers and this amazing new community of Poplar Run.

Two clients in particular shared that because of the assistance of the Your Home. Your Way. team right there on the spot, they felt confident that they had made the right decision and wrote their contract at the event! 

Sometimes the people behind the product are as important as the product itself.  The team behind every Winchester Home is one of the main reasons the company has prospered and clients seek us out each time they are in the market for a new home. 

The grand opening of Winchester's newest community, Poplar Run, has finally happened and it was a huge success! The 2 day event drew close to 200 potential homeowners…many who have been waiting for over two years for the opportunity to learn more about this Montgomery County new home development and to buy home at the site of the old Indian Springs Country Club.

On Saturday morning, the doors were opened to a line of people waiting to get more information about Poplar Run. One family had been doing research on the Winchester Homes' website and came prepared to ask many questions. The homebuyer said that they were trying to decide between two different home styles and after talking to the sales team, they were able to finally make up their mind. Other prospects waited in line to talk to the Your Home. Your Way. design team. They spent hours working one on one with clients discussing the various changes that can be made to the floorplans to make their new home truly something special.

Poplar Run will feature a variety of single family homes and townhomes. Prices start from the mid $500's for the single family homes and from mid $300's for the townhomes. Winchester Homes is currently selling the community from the Garrett model in it's nearby Clarksburg Village community. Meetings can also be held at it's corporate office in Bethesda. Sign up on the website to stay up to date with additional events that will be held in the upcoming months.
