Compact Bladensburg has river views and dense residential streets
Only a mile from the northeast border of Washington, D.C., is Bladensburg, a Prince George’s County town with thousands of people scattered across a single square mile. Within that compact area, residents can select from various longstanding homes and drink in views of the Anacostia River from a large waterfront park. Bladensburg was originally called Garrison’s Landing when it was first settled in the mid-18th century. It’s since been renamed after former Maryland Governor Thomas Bladen and become home to roughly 10,000 residents.
Craftsman and Cape Cod homes dominate Bladensburg’s landscape

Cape Cods and Tudor-style homes among Bladensburg streets
Most live in modest detached homes from the early to mid-20th century, including many Cape Cods with pairs of dormers, ramblers, brick bungalows and Tudor-style houses. On average, these are valued in the high $200,000s — over $100,000 less than the average Prince George’s County home. You can also find a few condominium developments in the town, including Bladenwoods, where one-bedroom units from the mid-1960s start in the low $100,000s. Occasionally, price tags in Bladensburg reach around $500,000, which might get you a six-bedroom, 1,600-square-foot Cape Cod with an attached garage.
Bright and charming Cape Cod houses add character to Taussig Road in Bladensburg.

Enjoying Bladensburg Waterfront Park's river views and boat tours
Residents can make the most of Bladensburg’s Anacostia River-adjacent location at Bladensburg Waterfront Park. Whether you enjoy simply watching and listening to the rushing water or want to see where the current takes you, this is your go-to leisure spot. “I grew up going to this park,” says Robert Walker, who’s since become the park’s director. “It’s a very popular, family-friendly park with a lot of activities for kids, but also for grownups and seniors. It takes you from the urban sprawl of the area into a serene, beautiful escape with wildlife and wetlands.” Park activities include 45-minute interpretive boat tours along the river, costing $3 a person. You can also rent a canoe, kayak or rowboat, cast a line from the fishing pier or stroll along the riverside trail.
At Bladensburg Waterfront Park, residents can fish off the piers.
