Buying into New Carrollton
The community is covered with residential streets and cul-de-sacs. Along these streets, you’ll see tree-lined sidewalks running in front of many small single-family homes like ranch-styles and split-levels accompanied by midsize front and back yards. “The prices here are very inviting,” says Natalie Perez, a Realtor with 4 years of experience in the area, “You won’t find a single-family home with a yard for these prices closer to D.C.” The median home price is $375,000. On the higher end, you can find a 2,000-square-foot ranch-style or split-level for about $500,000. For around $400,000, you can get a 1,000-square-foot rambler. The less expensive options in the area are mainly older 1-to 2-bedroom condos for about $150,000. “You don’t get as much green space with a condo,” says Perez, “but they’re gaining popularity because they’re within a mile of the metro station.”
