White Plains, an unincorporated community in Charles County, Maryland, is located about 30 miles south of Washington, D.C. Housing prices are currently lower than some other D.C. metropolitan area suburbs, which has spurred some recent growth. “The area’s new construction is bringing people in, and it’s still developing,” says Realtor Kendra McCourt with RE/MAX. Throughout the community, green lawns and sidewalks give a traditional suburban vibe to existing neighborhoods as well as newly built ones. Nearby parks and walking trails offer ways for White Plains locals to stay active or relax in nature. There are commuter buses for those who need to travel for work, and shopping opportunities are available in La Plata and Waldorf.
White Plains housing options
White Plains, which dates back to the mid-1960s, has a housing stock that is a direct reflection of its various growth spurts. Buyers may find some 1970s brick split levels that have been very well maintained and are fetching about $450,000. “Many of the area’s original homes were built on large lots,” McCourt says. There are offerings from the 1990s, including four-bedroom Colonial Revival-style residences that are priced around $475,000. There are also some one-story options in the area’s 55 and up community, such as four-bedroom ramblers that are selling in the upper $400,000s. New construction in the eastern portion of the neighborhood includes some Colonial Revivals and two-story traditional-style builds combining wood and stone siding in the upper $600,000 range.
With plenty of homes to choose from White Plains still has all the green space you could want.
