Suburban Peppermill Village is close to D.C. and Maryland retailers
Peppermill Village offers modest suburban homes within minutes of two Metro stations, the Capital Beltway and major Prince George’s County shopping centers. “The biggest draws are home affordability and convenience when working in D.C.,” say Steve and Ida Belinky, real estate agents with RE/MAX United Real Estate, who each have over 40 years of experience in Maryland. “It’s part of that Capitol Heights zip code that has two Metro stations, so you can take the train to Largo Town Center if you want.” With its location, it can be a convenient bedroom community for Washington commuters. Residents are also within a couple of miles of Northwest Stadium to catch NFL games or concerts.
