Affordable Homes Near Fort Meade

As I mentioned yesterday in the first post of my series about Affordable Homes Near Fort Meade, you'll find lots of different options beyond the Fort Meade gates if you prefer to live off-post. In fact, there are many desirable communities in five nearby counties: Anne Arundel, Howard, Prince George's, Montgomery and Baltimore Counties.

Two nearby communities in Odenton usually top the wish-list for military and civilian personnel relocating to Fort Meade and NSA, however, so we're looking at them first: SEVEN OAKS (yesterday) and PINEY ORCHARD (below). Chances are good you'll find your next home without looking any further!

Piney Orchard Elementary

For newer Affordable Homes Near Fort Meade and NSA check out PINEY ORCHARD, about 5-10 minutes east of the post. You won't run out of things to do there with a nice fitness center, several pools, playgrounds for the kids, walking paths and more. And there's a new elementary school (pictured below) that's within walking distance for many neighborhood children.

There are condos in PINEY ORCHARD, as well as rental apartments, detached homes,and townhomes - both traditional style and back-to-back.

In addition to the new Piney Orchard Elementary School, some students attend Four Seasons Elementary. Both elementary schools feed into Arundel Middle and Middle Senior High School. For more information on Piney Orchard schools, click on Schools in Crofton (The Greater Crofton Area includes Piney Orchard).

Margaret: I my marketing Guru says that posts like this will get you lots of business. The public needs and wants information like this. So many Realtors only write things about themselves and forget to write about their area!!!

Jane - I think your marketing guru is right! I received an Activerain contact form today from a prospective buyer anticipating a move to Fort Meade in a few months! Could it be coincidence?
