The town of Landover Hills is a quiet community in Prince George’s County, Maryland. Featuring over 150 acres of rolling hills, mature trees and ample quiet spaces, “This town was first built in 1943 and 1944 during the housing boom and World War II. We were one of the first suburban areas of Washington DC and we later incorporated in 1945,” explains Jeffrey Schomisch, mayor for the town of Landover Hills.

Renovated homes maintain charm in Landover Hills
Comprised of nearly 500 residences, much of the homes follow the same layout due to the war-time construction. “There were basically two models, the two-story colonial and the Cape Cod,” adds Schomisch. But many have been updated or renovated since their early conception, “Everyone has changed or added an addition, a porch, finished a basement.” Despite this, the area has maintained its charm and the average sales here is $400,000 with price points varying depending on the age, size and condition of the property.

Evolving community with a stable, family-friendly atmosphere
For some time outdoors, the Landover Hills Neighborhood Park features a playground, open green spaces and plenty of woodlands too. “We have a pretty mature tree cover, lots of trees because this used to be farmland before it was a subdivision,” adds Schomisch. “We ’re a stable community, and it evolves in waves. Since I’ve been here, nearly 30 years, there have been young families that grow and then the parents get old and leave, and then the next generation moves in and it's interesting to see how it changes,” says Schomisch.

Proximity to major highways and public transit in Landover Hills
Another perk of living in Landover Hills? You’re located only one mile from the New Carrollton Metro Station (Orange Line) and the MARC station, just minutes from US Route 50 and the Baltimore-Washington Parkway too. The public transit is a huge draw and affords you a suburban lifestyle with proximity to DC and its many employers. Plus with the up and coming purple line of the Metro being built in the same vicinity, this will add a boost to the community and surrounding areas too.
