Neighborhoods, Charles
Charles County
Charles County is Southern Maryland's main commuter county. Buyers come for newer homes, bigger lots and prices that make sense, and they drive Route 301 or Route 5 to DC, Andrews or Indian Head.
Buying in Charles
- Waldorf and St. Charles have most of the newer construction and the shortest drive north.
- Outside the towns, many homes are on well and septic. Order the septic inspection and water test, and do not waive them.
- Commute time is the real cost here. Drive it at rush hour before you buy.
Selling in Charles
- If your home is on septic, a recent inspection report in hand removes one of the most common reasons deals fall apart.
- Buyers comparing against new builds expect move-in ready. Fresh paint and clean flooring go a long way.
Renting out a home in Charles
