From railroad town to commuter hotspot
Established in 1896 as a railroad town, today the suburb of Berwyn Heights provides residents with an abundance of amenities from the wide-open spaces of Indian Creek Park to shopping options at the nearby Beltway Plaza Mall and direct access to Interstate-495. Commuters also appreciate Berwyn Heights proximity to Washington, D.C. which is just 15 miles away and easily accessed by the Metro's Green Line. “Nearby public transportation as well as shopping and dining make this gem of Prince George's County a sought-after community for buyers,” says Stacie Hatziyannis, long-time DMV resident and Realtor at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices PenFed Realty.

Two-story colonials and raised ramblers
Berwyn Heights features a range of housing options from single-family colonial revivals, raised ramblers and split-levels south of Greenbelt Road to multi-family townhouses and apartments to the North. With over 70% of residents renting within the area, much of the area attracts investors and developers interested in capitalizing on new homebuyers and renters commuting to nearby landmarks. “Berwyn Heights has remained a coveted location for people looking for affordable housing options with quick access to the University of Maryland, Washington D.C. and points beyond via the nearby Beltway,” says Hatziyannis. With a median sales price of $444,000, price points here can range from the high $200,000s to the mid $700,000s depending on the age, size and location of the property. For example, a four-bedroom ranch-style fixer-upper costs around $285,000, while a newly renovated six-bedroom colonial can go for around $755,000. Homes here typically feature paved driveways, carport garages and often are fronted by mid-sized lawns large enough for a few shrubs and an oak tree.
