Upper Marlboro, MD Homes For Sale
Upper Marlboro was once synonymous with the tobacco trade. These days, Prince George’s county seat combines lots of great community amenities with competitively priced homes for sale. While the town itself is quite small, it’s typically associated with Greater Upper Marlboro which is spread out over 37 square miles of land. You can also toss in subdivisions like Marlboro Village and Marlboro Meadows which have since incorporated. Add all these communities together and you wind up with hundreds of active great homes for sale. That’s Marlboro country!
The town lies just west of the Patuxent River, which was a great boon to colonial farmers back in the late 1600s—they would simply roll giant hogsheads of tobacco down to the water and load them on to ships. The river was sufficiently deep for ocean-going vessels at the time, but years of over-farming and soil erosion ultimately made it unnavigable. What else should you know about the town? That it used to be well known for horse racing, with the Marlboro track dating back to the mid-1700s. The track closed during the 1980s and is now the popular Equestrian Center with English riding and show events. To learn more about Upper Marlboro, MD homes for sale, give us a call today!

Good news for Washington Metro real estate shoppers—while Upper Marlboro is well known for its plethora of upscale custom homes for sale, it also happens to be in Prince George’s County. The real estate downturn that began around 2008 collided with a rash of new housing starts. The result—an extended buyers’ market.
Homes and condos for sale in Upper Marlboro typically start around $100,000 and climb all the way to seven-figure territory.
