Cheverly, MD Homes For Sale
With a smallish but nicely varied inventory of homes for sale, Cheverly, Maryland has become one of Washington Metro's best-kept secrets in recent years. Offering abundant charm and a rich history, this small town of about 6,200 residents is located in Prince George's County, right near the northeastern border of the District of Columbia, and also very close to the Anacostia River.
Cheverly was once part of the Mount Hope tobacco plantation. Modern life staked a claim in 1904 when the land was purchased for a fledgling community that would be known as Cheverly Gardens. But the plans went belly-up and in 1918, the massive estate was sold once again. This time, real estate tycoon Robert Marshall moved into the old manor, had a road paved to to the closest railroad station and started ordering mail order kit homes from Sears Roebuck and McClure Homes.

More About the Cheverly Real Estate Market
Okay, so enough about history—what about homes for sale today? Actually, history still plays a part with old homes representing a meaningful portion of the present day inventory. And in fact, that old plantation home is still standing and has served as the town's official symbol since way 1931. This isn't a town that's about monster custom mansion or condos for sale. Instead, it's a charming slice of yesteryear with prices starting around $165,000 and rarely rising above $450,000.
Will new commercial developments start making their presence known in Cheverly? Hopefully not. Homes for sale include Colonials, Victorians, Craftsman-styles, Ramblers and Split-levels. And while there's not much in the way of retail, locals enjoy parks and recreation, a popular community swimming pool and a farmers market with locally grown food. It's a small-town way of life, a stone's throw from Washington, DC.
