Waldorf Maryland
In the heart of Southern Maryland, Waldorf offers real estate home buyers convenience and value. Once a rural community, now a vibrant county with exciting residential communities of moderate to luxurious homes on large lots in locations convenient to Washington, D.C. and employment centers in Prince George's and Anne Arundel Counties. Route 301 goes directly through Charles County, across the Potomac River in to Northern Virginia, making Waldorf, Charles County an alternative residential real estate area. Residential real estate development is centered in and around Waldorf. Communities like Waldorf contribute to the variety of home style and features sought by today's home buyers in Maryland.
With a land mass of 461 acres and a population of just over 120,000, Charles County has considerable real estate available for development. New home communities have been developed in St. Charles which has been in development since the 1960s and surrounding areas. The county seat of La Plata retains it's rural atmosphere since most development is located closer to the Prince George's County border with close proximity to employment centers in Upper Marlboro, Washington, D.C. and Andrews AFB. Military employees and service personnel working at the Pentagon also find Waldorf and Charles an affordable alternative to the high cost housing in Northern Virginia.
