Glenn Dale offers proximity to Bowie and an easy commute to D.C.
Just outside the Beltway, about 15 miles from Washington, D.C., lies Glenn Dale, a sleepy little village southwest of Bowie that is an unincorporated area in Prince George’s County. A 4-mile drive to the New Carrolton Metro Station, residents working in the district face a very reasonable commute by car, metro or bus. “Location is key here, being so close to D.C. and 295,” says Daniel Khoshtinat of RE/MAX Leading Edge. “You’ve also got NASA out here, and right next door is Bowie.” Glenn Dale is a comely bedroom community with a lot to offer the right buyer. “It’s well-kept and quiet, with not a whole lot going on, but proximity to Bowie is a draw,” Khoshtinat says.
Next to NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, the space theme resonates with Glenn Dale residents.

High demand for single-family homes with a suburban atmosphere
Homebuyers looking for a sparse suburban feel in an otherwise heavily populated D.C. Metro area will appreciate Glenn Dale. “This is an extremely competitive market for buyers,” Khoshtinat says. “Inventory is very low, and they don’t have a lot of town homes or condos.” Homes range in price from $400,000 on the low end to upwards of $1 million. There is little diversity of housing in Glenn Dale, with mostly single-family homes that have been being built rapidly since 1960 and some new construction townhouses. The biggest building boom took place between 1980 and 2009 when nearly 3,000 housing units were constructed before falling off during the housing crisis.
Buyers on a D.C. budget will appreciate the discount in Glenn Dale; in October 2023, the 12-month median price in the district was around $625,000, compared to about $540,000 in Glenn Dale. That money will buy a six-bedroom, four-bath contemporary home with over 3,000 square feet. The hushed streets are lined with a variety of different housing styles, including modest ramblers, classic colonials, and of-the-era split levels. New construction has become the norm, with a coveted new community being built at the site of the Glenn Dale Golf Club, which closed in 2019. Fairway Estates is one of the newest neighborhoods in the area, offering a comfortable suburban lifestyle with major city amenities.
