Quaint bedroom community close to D.C., Baltimore and Annapolis
Collington Station is a serene suburban community south of Bowie, Maryland, that's about a 40-minute drive to three major commuter destinations: Washington, D.C., to the south, Baltimore to the north, and Annapolis to the east. "Most people who move to Bowie commute to D.C.," says Patrick McCarthy, a 16-year real estate agent with Re/Max Leading Edge. He adds that the location often outweighs other considerations. "Bowie tends to have higher property taxes but is more convenient to D.C. compared to surrounding cities like Crofton, which has cheaper taxes but higher [home] prices." In Collington Station, locals benefit from Bowie's commuter convenience, and they can enjoy HOA-run parks at home or drive five minutes to Bowie Town Center or Downtown Largo for shopping and dining. The neighborhood is also down the road from Six Flags America, one of Maryland's largest attractions, and bordered to the south by Oak Creek Golf Club.
