Single-family Colonial Revivals along tree-lined streets

Old Stage mostly has single-family homes built from the 1980s through the 2000s. Prices range from $500,000 to $650,000, varying by square footage and lot size. Prominent architectural styles include split levels and Colonial Revivals, often featuring attached garages. The Olde Stage HOA sets bylaws and handles community maintenance needs for the neighborhood. Old Stage is a newer community compared to Bowie’s more common 1960s-era neighborhoods, which are full of smaller, lower-priced houses designed by famous midcentury developer William Levitt. “Old Stage is outside of the Levitt complex,” says Bill Franklin, a former Bowie local and Team Leader at Bill Franklin Real Estate Group with Long & Foster Real Estate. “Levitt construction was the original Bowie, but these newer developments and suburbs are what’s known as the newer Bowie.”Old Stage hosts several houses of worship that foster community connections, including the Praise Restoration Center and the First Mystery Church of Christ.

Connected to D.C. Metropolitan transit and regional MARC trains

Commuters can reach the nation’s capital after a 20-mile drive west on U.S. Route 50, while Annapolis is an 18-mile drive east on Route 50. Trips to D.C. by car can take around 40 minutes, depending on traffic. “There’s lots of options to get around, from Metrobuses to a MARC train from Bowie State University,” says Franklin. “Commuters here will usually go to Landover Metro station a few miles away, since there’s no Metro station in Bowie. But there are bus parks in the city that take you directly to those areas.” The Landover Metro Station is 9 miles west, offering Orange and Silver Line trains to D.C. and throughout Maryland and Virginia. Residents are around 24 miles from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport to the south, while Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport is about the same distance to the north. There’s also access to WMATA Metrobuses, which stop along Annapolis Road north of the neighborhood for access to Metro stations or major regional points of interest.
