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.
