Maryland City
Both entry-level and more established homes
House hunters can find condos, townhouses, and single-family homes in Maryland City. While townhouse prices start in the $300,000s for those communities built in the 1980s and 1990s, many communities, like Watershed, offer brand-new construction that can sell for as high as the upper-$600,000s. Single-family homes, which include a mix of styles like ranches, split-levels, and Colonial Revivals, are typically on winding suburban streets lined with sidewalks, trees, light posts, and tidy lawns. As far as pricing, "It’s on the higher end of prices for Maryland homes, but there are some more affordable areas,” Belfield-Martin says. “Maryland City does have smaller single-family homes that have around three bedrooms and one bathroom, so they’re in the $350,000 to $425,000 range, which isn’t extremely high.” Homes on the higher end of things can go as high as $700,000, which can afford a Colonial Revival in the popular Russett subdivision, a planned community with winding neighborhood streets, multiple cul-de-sacs, and a host of community amenities like walking trails, tot lots, and a pool.

Shopping and dining close at hand
Shopping and dining options in the neighborhood are primarily concentrated along Fort Meade Road. Residents can take their pick of grocery stores with options like Sam’s Club, Walmart Superstore, or Dutch Country Farmers Market. Other conveniences include Kohl’s, T.J. Maxx, Target, and The Home Depot. Restaurants range from chains like Burger King, Chipotle, Bob Evans, and Chick-fil-A, to mom-and-pop outposts for pho, Mexican, Halal food, and more. Notos is one locally-owned concept that combines Southern Mediterranean flavors and familiar Southern comfort foods. The Bank Shot Bar and Grill offers a nighttime hangout with pool tables and TVs to watch the game. e.

Military-friendly schools
Kids in Maryland City attend Anne Arundel County Public Schools, like Maryland City Elementary School, Meade Middle School, and Meade High School. All three schools receive a C-plus grade from Niche. Meade High is a Purple Star School, meaning they have been recognized for their commitment to military students and families. The school offers programs such as Leade4Meade, a student ambassador program to help the transition for new students as seamless as possible, and the Military BRATs Club, where military students can relax, play games, and decompress.

Maryland City Park has baseball fields, a playground, walking trails, and a dog park. Laurel Golf Center is also close by, where residents can work on their swing at the driving range or batting cages or bring family and friends for a game of mini golf. The Patuxent Research Refuge also borders the neighborhood, and residents can access 25 miles of trails and take in the area’s natural beauty at the North Tract entrance.
