Sumner is a suburban Maryland community 6 miles from Washington
If you want to live the American dream right near the heart of the capital, look no further than Sumner — the community that brings you the best of both city and suburb. It is rare to find spacious homes with suburban amenities so close to the dense, exciting metro area that is Washington. Living in Sumner means grilling out in your backyard, spending a Saturday morning hiking the nearby trails and living on quiet residential streets, all while staying within a 6-mile commute to downtown Washington. If you want the DMV’s most spacious homes with access to the river and all that Washington has to offer, an investment in the Sumner lifestyle is a worthy choice.
Fort Sumner, the town's namesake, was a Civil War defense against confederate troops.

Homes include Colonial Revivals with large front yards
“Sumner is the kind of place where you can have it all, you’re right on the D.C. line and you get all the benefit, but still technically live in Maryland,” says Cheryl Leahy, Realtor and leader of The Cheryl Leahy Homes Team with Compass Real Estate. “Many homes in this area have space for a pool or a three-car garage.” The homes around this scenic suburb are mostly multi-floored Colonial Revivals. Some have shutters and others have tall, decorative columns. Every home has large front yards with lush gardens and the bonus of front-row seats to the pink cherry blossoms in spring. Homes range from $1 to $3 million. There are condos in the area. Most cost $550,000 to $1.2 million, depending on size.
