The Reserve at Fair Hill

About the Area

Originally known as Mechanicsville, the village that became Olney was established in 1800. The area was mostly farmland, but it soon began attracting artisans. Just 20 miles north of Washington, DC, Olney puts you a short drive away from the culture and history of our nation’s capital, four-star restaurants, and an exciting array of entertainment options. If you’re up to it, you could even hike or bike to Washington, DC on the footpath that extends from Olney all the way along the Potomac waterfront.

Culture / Entertainment

The Reserve at Fair Hill is close to the quaint historic downtown area of Olney, as well as the Olney Theatre Center for the Arts which features a diverse collection of shows appealing to a wide variety of audiences. A visit to the Sandy Spring Museum will offer homeowners a chance to learn about the rich history of Olney and other surround "Crossroads Communities".
