Spacious new construction and wooded estates south of Washington, DC
Brandywine real estate sits at the intersection of Southern Maryland's rural roots and Prince George's County's suburban growth. Once a quiet farming village and train stop, Brandywine has evolved into a community with new subdivisions, modern shopping centers, and convenient access to both D.C. and the Southern Maryland countryside. It's a place where you can still find wooded lots and open space, but Target and Safeway are five minutes away.
Brandywine's housing market reflects its transformation from rural village to growing suburb. The newest subdivisions feature contemporary designs with open floor plans, and several offer resort-style community amenities.
Notable Brandywine Communities:
Timothy Branch: Features a clubhouse with swimming pool and fitness center, walking trails, and proximity to Brandywine Crossing shopping center
The Woodlands: A newer Stanley Martin development with parks, meadow trails, and outdoor gathering spaces dispersed throughout the neighborhood
Westphalia Town Center (nearby): A large mixed-use development bringing additional retail, dining, and housing to the broader area
