Fort Mead, MD Real Estate
Prior to the US Government's designation of Ft. Meade as an active military installation in 1917, the area was simply farmland. However, during World War I, the town became an active training site for soldiers, a distinction it again held during the Second World War. In peacetime, Fort Meade established itself as the premiere military intelligence center and in the 1950's, famed suburban developer Levitt and Sons constructed planned communities throughout the town, and many of their iconic homes still stand today. In recent years, Ft. Meade has retained its reputation as the preeminent center for military intelligence and advancement in the United States. Although the town of Fort Meade is largely centered on the military, there is a wealth of recreational opportunities in neighboring towns. The popular Arundel Mills Mall is just a short drive away, and features a wide array of retail shops, outlets, movie theatres, and restaurants. Annapolis, the state capitol, is also nearby and features a vibrant downtown with a quaint historic atmosphere. In addition to fine dining, boutique shops, and numerous arts venues, visitors can take in the sights of the Chesapeake Bay and boaters can enjoy the placid marina. Due to its central location just 20 minutes from Baltimore and 30 minutes from Washington, DC, Fort Meade real estate comes at a premium. With an average home price of just over $400,000, prospective buyers can enjoy a safe, secure, and convenient neighborhood, only moments away from everything.
