More About the College Park Real Estate Market

Try condos for sale starting around $100,000, as well as detached single family homes for sale that start about the same level.
Prices for homes and condos for sale in College Park, MD do climb from those modest beginnings, of course, but rarely rise above the $500,000 range. In between is a delightful collection of properties, including Colonials, a sprinkling of old farmhouses, some interesting Dutch houses with gambrel roofs, lots of brick Ranches and Split-levels and even some late 1950s contemporary “lodge-homes” with overhanging roofs.
As far the community itself, you’ll find great parks and recreation, golf courses, two Metro stations, the bordering Capital Beltway and typical college town staples like books stores, bike shops, cafes and coffee shops. And while there’s an obvious economic link to the university, there is also the presence of a nearby tech corridor which has been fueling growth in this part of Maryland for some time.
