Quarry Springs occupies roughly 13 acres of the former Stoneyhurst Quarry in the 8100 block of River Road, with 96 condominiums completed in 2017 and 44 elevator townhomes added afterward.
Almost everything else on this list is a subdivision of houses. Quarry Springs is not: it is a gated, roughly 13-acre enclave built on the floor and edges of the former Stoneyhurst Quarry, in the 8100 block of River Road, and what you buy here is a unit in a managed regime rather than a lot. The 96 condominiums were developed by 1788 Holdings and designed by Robert Swedroe; first move-ins came in late September 2015 and the buildings were completed in 2017. Wormald then added 44 elevator townhomes of roughly 3,288 square feet, which took a gold award in the 2021 Best in American Living Awards. Two products, two ownership questions, one site.
The old quarry topography was kept rather than erased. The amenity core is a clubhouse of roughly 10,000 square feet with a pool and fitness space, and a waterfall and rock-garden park set into the quarry landform. That is a real physical distinction from anything else in this part of Bethesda — the grade changes and rock faces are structural features of the property, not landscaping applied to a flat pad. It is also why the site supports a compact, gated layout on thirteen acres where a conventional subdivision of the same acreage would hold a fraction of the homes.
The 96 Swedroe-designed condominiums and the 44 Wormald elevator townhomes sit under a condominium and homeowners association structure with monthly assessments. Which instrument governs your specific unit determines which Maryland statute controls your review window and what the assessment is actually buying. Do not accept a summary of the fees, including this one: pull the resale package and read the assessment, the reserve position, what the fee covers and does not cover, and any pending special assessment. On a site with a 10,000-square-foot clubhouse, structured amenity space and quarry-edge landform to maintain, the reserve study is the document that matters most.
Under the Maryland Condominium Act, Real Property Section 11-135, a buyer may rescind in writing within seven days after receiving the resale package, without stating a reason and without liability. For a lot in a homeowners association, disclosures are required under Sections 11B-105 and 11B-106 and the cancellation rights sit in Section 11B-108: five calendar days from receipt if the disclosures came late, and three calendar days from notice of a mandatory-fee increase exceeding ten percent or another substantial and material adverse amendment. Section 11B-108 provides those rights cannot be waived. Seven days is not long to read a reserve study. Ask for the package before you ratify, not after.
River Road is close to the postal boundary here, and the mailing identity of a specific building at Quarry Springs should be confirmed rather than assumed — it affects how the property is searched, marketed and compared, even though the governing jurisdiction is Montgomery County either way. Note also that Montgomery County's mandatory pre-sale radon testing under Chapter 40, Section 40-13C reaches detached houses and townhouses but not a unit in a condominium regime or a cooperative housing corporation, so the requirement lands differently across the two products on this same site. School assignments run by address through Montgomery County Public Schools; verify with the MCPS tool, bearing in mind the high school boundaries adopted March 26, 2026 phase in from 2027-28.
