A commuter town spared by city traffic
Close enough to commute but far enough to escape the city turmoil, Clinton offers a living experience that ranges from suburban to rural depending on the street. Originally called Surrattsville after the town’s founders, the old name will still stick for locals despite being changed after Mary Surratt and her son were charged as conspirators in the assassination of president Abraham Lincoln. Today, the community attracts residents who enjoy the 20-mile proximity to the city without the accompanying traffic and noise. “People like that you can get that city feel, but it’s in the suburbs,” says Floretta Davis, a Realtor with Samson Properties who has sold homes in the area. “They’re away from the hustle and bustle.” Less than 20 miles outside of the district, the neighborhood offers easy access to the metro city’s commercial corridor by way of either MD-5 or I-495. The Joint Andrews Air Force Base is adjacent to the community, as well.
Errands are a breeze for Clinton residents with easy access to several top name retail stores.
Shopping centers at the heart
Clinton may be relatively remote, but residents have plenty of options for shopping and dining. Retail destinations like the Woodyard Crossing Shopping Center and, across the street, The Landing at Woodyard mean that residents don’t have to travel far for the essentials. Woodyard Crossing houses a Safeway grocery store, a Lowe’s, a Walmart and a CVS for all the essential staples, while The Landing offers nail and hair salons as well as discount clothing outlets like Marshalls and Ross. “Shopping is a big (activity) in Clinton,” Davis says. But while residents have a variety of retailers to choose from, residents appreciate that the area doesn’t feel completely overrun by commercial development.
The central hub includes a mix of chain restaurants like IHOP, Ruby Tuesday and Chic-fil-A with local spots like Sardi's Peruvian Chicken and the soul food cafeteria Levi’s Restaurant. The Milk and Honey Café, a D.C.-area staple, serves southern-inspired dishes like fried catfish and grits in a quick-service setting.
Recreation at the park and at the farm
Louise F Cosca Regional Park at the southwest end of the community offers plenty of outdoor recreation for residents. At 690 acres, the park is largely undeveloped but includes hiking trails, ballfields, sports courts, a skate park and playground equipment. One of the biggest attractions is Lake Cosca in the center of the park, where residents can rent boats and go fishing or try paddleboarding. The Clearwater Nature Center within the park is a popular destination for families, offering wildlife exhibits that feature reptiles and birds of prey. The nature center hosts year-round programs and classes that allow attendees to get up close to the live animals as well as animal artifacts. An auditorium within the nature center is available to rent for classes and parties.
Outside of the central hub, Miller Farms has been in operation since 1879 and sells their sustainably-grown produce at a market that also features a bakery, a nursery for plants and flowers, and handmade ice cream. In the far, the farm opens its grounds for scenic hayrides, a corn maze, a petting zoo and giant slides.
Come to Louise F Cosca Regional Park's Skatepark to show off or just to practice.

You can find newer townhouses around Clinton.
Established subdivisons and new town houses
Many of the residential subdivisions throughout Clinton are well-established communities built in the 70s. Some areas feature simple Ranch-style and split-level houses, while other areas include grander estates where homes typically have five bedrooms, two levels, and large attached garages. Many of the homes feature New Traditional architecture, with brick exteriors and symmetrical windows presenting a dignified, stately aura. Not all subdivisions include sidewalks, but the short streets ending in cul-de-sacs minimize through traffic. The more established subdivisions reflect the longevity of the community, where rapid development hasn’t yet infringed on the quiet suburban lifestyle. “It’s a little slower than in the city, so you have a lot of neighborhoods that don’t have HOAs,” Davis says. “People like not having to worry about that.” Closer to the main shopping hubs, town home developments create more high-density housing. A 3-bedroom town house may sell for around $500,000, while detached homes in an established subdivision may range from $400,000 for a single-level, 4-bedroom home. 5-bedroom estates on one-acre lots may sell for around $600,000.
Take a tour of the historic Mary Surratt House in Clinton.
From historical museums to lively casinos
History enthusiasts can stop by the Surratt House Museum, known as the place where John Wilkes Booth stopped after assassinating President Abraham Lincoln. Members of the Surratt family were later convicted of conspiracy in conjunction with the assassination, with Booth and others meeting at the Surratt boarding house to plan the related attack on Secretary of State William H. Seward. The museum is mostly preserved as a relic of the past, with period-appropriate furniture and an outdoor garden.
For more lively nightlife, The MGM National Harbor is located about ten miles west. Visitors can try their luck at the casino, catch a show at the theater, or get a cocktail at one of the lounges and restaurants.
Prince George Public Schools serve students
Clinton is served by Prince George Public Schools.

Surrattsville High School, recognized as a Maryland Green School for its programs teaching students about environmental stewardship, has a C-minus rating as well. Private schools, most of which are affiliated with a religious institution, are also popular.

Calm hikes through the woods, seasonal produce picking, and games played in the park. Windbrook, located in the southwest of Clinton, Maryland, provides recreation and respite with its collection of single-family homes in a rural setting saturated with trees stretching as far as the eye can see.<br><br>Between the dense tree line are winding, unpredictable patterns of streets. This unplanned community features two main residential clusters, one east and one west of Piscataway Road. Yard sizes vary, but they all have a healthy, deep green patch of grass. Well-paved roads give way to interconnected sidewalks and two-car driveways. Homes are typically in the colonial or neoclassical style, with small, shuttered windows, brick facades, pitched roofs and the occasional porch column or two for added flare. Some homes have attached garages to protect your car from the elements or use as a workshop for hobbies and DIY.<br><br>Home buyers on a budget looking into Windbrook have an advantage. The average cost for a revival-style home is $400,000, and that includes renovations already made, making it a great option if you don’t want to make changes yourself. “If a home is $300,000, that means it hasn’t been renovated,” Susan Park, Realtor at Coldwell Banker Jay Lilly Real Estate, says. Entry-level buyers can benefit from snagging a home in the older section of Windbrook for the price point and the small-town feel.<br><br>Windbrook’s flight of schools equips students with academics as well as other tools to help them navigate social and mental health challenges. Fort Washington Forest Elementary earns a C overall from Niche. Students are cared about with a bullying awareness and prevention program. When they move on to Isaac J. Gourdine Middle, a C-minus-rated school, Lions have access to virtual mental health support should they need it. Friendly High School is also rated a C-minus by Niche.<br><br>After a long week of work and school, residents of Windbrook can head to Cosca Park. You can play a game of baseball at one of the five diamonds or take your furry friend for a walk. Hikers rejoice because there are roughly seven miles of trails to traverse. When the weather gets warmer, cast a line at the edge of Lake Cosca for some local fishing. For a special indoor experience, the Clearwater Nature Center hosts programs to familiarize you with rehabilitated wildlife such as eagles, hawks, and owls, making for a fun and educational Saturday afternoon. <br><br>The lower cost and access to parks isn’t the only benefit of living here. “It tends to be quieter. You’ve got the benefits of rural, like fresh produce. Miller Farms make their own ice cream and doughnuts,” Parks says. Miller has seasonal events for all ages, from strawberry picking to hayrides. Their produce market is a fresh source of nutrition for those who want to shop local and farm fresh. For a quick dinner when you are out, grab a rack of ribs or a set of wings from RC’s Ribs and Soul at the intersection of Piscataway and Temple Hill Road. They primarily do take-out, but get in quickly because the line can be long.<br><br>Despite being a rural town, shopping here actually isn’t far or inconvenient. For your weekly grocery needs, Costco and Target are six miles down the road. That said, having a car is a necessity because of the lack of public transportation. In the same shopping center is an Xscape Theatre, where you can kick back in a leather recliner and catch new releases on the big screen.<br><br>If you’re looking for a quiet, calm place to settle down or are simply a first-time home buyer, discover Windbrook. And don’t forget to pick some produce while you’re there.
