Woodmore
Suburban Neighborhood in Bowie, Maryland
Prince George's County 20721
Contemporary and colonial homes in gated communities and suburbs
Home values in Woodmore range from $550,000 to $1.3 million, varying by square footage and age. In the $750,000 to $900,000 range, buyers can expect Contemporary-style homes with two-car garages built in the 2010s, large brick homes on one-acre lots, and Colonial Revival homes with front columns. At the higher end of the neighborhood’s price range are five-bedroom Contemporary-style homes in a gated community just south of U.S. Route 50, anchored by the Country Club of Woodmore. North of Route 50 is an active adult 55+ community called Beechfield Manors, mainly composed of one-story condos. Though the environment changes from subdivision to subdivision, there are either dense tree lines or spacious lots available to locals, so leaving room for nature is a priority throughout the area. “Levitt Homes built many of the original Cape Cods in the Bowie area. The newer Bowie grew up out of the Mitchellville side south of Route 50,” says Melvin Yates, a Broker/owner with EXP Realty, LLC, with over 30 years of real estate experience in the region. There are also some four- and five-bedroom townhouse units priced between $480,000 and $680,000.Locals live beside Six Flags America
Six Flags America is just a 4-mile drive south for Woodmore locals, who can purchase season passes to easily access the park’s biggest rides, like the Batwing Coaster and Superman’s Ride of Steel. Around Halloween, the park turns into a spooky spectacle called Fright Fest. There’s also the Country Club at Woodmore, a private club with a championship golf course designed by Arnold Palmer. Members can access the club’s pools, three tennis courts, and indoor and outdoor dining options at The Palmer Grill, which serves appetizers and classics like burgers, crab cakes and steak. The club also has an annual slate of social events. On the eastern side of the neighborhood, kids can zip down brightly colored slides and run free at Orchard Playground, while adults can explore the hiking trails at Collington Branch Park. Yates also recommends Allen Pond Park for fishing and festivals, like the summer concert series every Sunday evening from Memorial Day to Labor Day.Prince George's County schools are within reach
Woodmore students are part of Prince George’s County Public Schools, the nation’s No. 20 largest school district, serving over 133,000 students in Eastern Maryland. Woodmore Elementary School is rated a C on Niche, and students here recently relocated to a new building where they will continue making strides academically and artistically through family literacy programs and electives such as instrumental music and visual arts. Meanwhile, Ernest Everest Just Middle gets a C-minus rating, and Charles Herbert Flowers High is rated a B-minus.Folks can drive or take the Metro into D.C.
Route 50 runs through the neighborhood, making it a 17-mile drive to the nation’s capital, about 45 minutes, depending on rush hour traffic. Commuters can also reach the Downtown Largo Metro station 7 miles west, which provides access to Silver and Blue Line trains heading through D.C., Maryland and Virginia. The New Carrollton train station is also 7 miles away for access to MARC trains heading through Maryland.Close to Woodmore Towne Centre and Bowie Town Center
Locals can grab a beignet and a latte from PJ’s Coffee, a café chain started in New Orleans. “There’s also a Starbucks in the neighborhood, along with most any type of cuisine you can think of,” says Justine Conteh, a 7-year Realtor with eXP Realty. PJ’s is in a small plaza in the Fairwood area in the north half of the neighborhood, next to a Safeway for groceries and Milk & Honey, a popular spot known for its creative twist on dishes such as shrimp and grits and chicken and waffles. To the west is Woodmore Towne Centre, an outdoor mall featuring a Wegmans, a Nordstrom and a Best Buy. To the east is Bowie Town Center with a Macy’s and several franchise restaurants, from Red Robin to Chipotle.
