Rosaryville is close to Joint Base Andrews, D.C. and forest parks
Locals in Rosaryville appreciate its blend of modern suburban homes with rural seclusion, all while living within 45 minutes of Washington, D.C., for work or leisure. "Commuters come here for a single-family home with some breathing room," says Tommy Mitchener, a Realtor with 16 years of experience in the area, "and it doesn't hurt to get away from those city prices." Many people feel the 20-mile drive into D.C. is worth the spacious lots. Joint Base Andrews borders the neighborhood to the northwest, employing over 20,000 military and civilian personnel and hosting the president's plane, Air Force One. Rosaryville also features over 1,000 acres of wooded parklands to explore.
Sidewalks can be found throughout Rosaryville Maryland for the safety of residents.

Hiking through Rosaryville State Park and Cheltenham Wetlands Park
"The parks are probably the most popular amenity," Mitchener says. "Locals rely on them for most of their recreation." Covering the northeast corner of the neighborhood is Rosaryville State Park, which has over 1,200 acres of dense woods and 16 miles of off-road trails. The 10-mile Perimeter Trail is popular with mountain bikers for its elevation changes. Cheltenham Wetlands Park is smaller but still large at 116 acres. It has a 1-mile gravel loop over easy terrain, making it a great place for a casual hike through the picturesque wetlands.
Picnic areas make Rosaryville State Park a good day trip option.
Cheltenham Wetland Park is an example of one of the many forest parks in Rosaryville.
