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.

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.

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.
