Nearly a Dozen New Townhome Communities Are Being Built Within Five Minutes of This Key Federal Intelligence Hub
Lennar’s new Boyer’s Ridge community, located less than five minutes from Fort Meade, Maryland, is one of nearly a dozen new-townhome communities in that quickly growing area.
Home buyers searching for new homes in the greater Fort Meade, Maryland, area have a wide array of properties to choose from at the moment. In terms of townhomes in the areas of Odenton, Severn and Hanover, there are nearly a dozen new-home construction communities underway, with several of the big national home builders fighting for market share.
In Severn, just east of Fort Meade and adjacent to the installation’s Rockenbach gate, there are four major new construction townhome communities being built. All are less than a five-minute drive from Fort Meade. They are:
| Community | Built by | Price Range |
| Millstone Village | D.R. Horton | $302K – $404K |
| Boyer’s Ridge | Lennar | $308K – $404K |
| Jacob’s Forest | M/I Homes | $289K – $319K |
| Jacob’s Forest | Beazer | $292K – $334K |
| Arundel Forest | Toll Brothers | $435K – $500K |
In Hanover, just north of Fort Meade, there’s also lots of new construction activity. The building boom there is being fueled by continued job growth at the Fort Meade installation as well as by the recently opened Maryland Live Casino at Hanover’s Arundel Mills Mall. The Hanover new-construction townhome communities include:
| Community | Built by | Price Range |
| Park Side | Ryan Homes | $327K – $402K |
| Park Side | NV Homes | $399K – $422K |
| Oxford Square | Lennar | $400K – $461K |
| Enclave at Arundel Preserve | Toll Brothers | $417K – $447K |
Several other new townhome communities also are being built around Fort Meade. Adjacent to Fort Meade to the south is Odenton, a very popular location for military and civilian employees working at the base. The Town Center Commons community, being built by Ryan Homes, is less than a mile from the base and sits on Maryland’s MARC commuter rail line. The Odenton MARC Station provides direct access to the Penn Line, a heavily used commuter line for workers and students travelling to Baltimore and Washington, D.C., each day. The MARC system connects directly to AMTRAK, providing easy train access to the entire northeastern U.S. corridor.
Finally, in Elkridge, Maryland, a few miles northwest of Fort Meade, Ryan Homes is building its Howard Square luxury townhome community. The community is located near the intersections of Interstate 95 (with direct access to Baltimore and Washington), Rt. 1 and Rt. 175. New townhomes in that community range from $309K to $393K.
