History
The Countryside subdivision was conceived in the middle 1970s when a tract of 1,000 acres (400 ha) of open farmland was subdivided in preparation for a planned housing development. Construction on homes began in 1981 and continued through 1991.
The Countryside CDP covers about 2.6 square miles (6.7 km2) and homes in Countryside have a 20165 (Potomac Falls or Sterling) ZIP code.
The majority of the homes in Countryside were built by Pulte Homes and are of the colonial architectural style. Most of the single-family homes have two stories and a basement. CountrySide Proprietary is the community's homeowners association.
