Piney Orchard homes for sale

Piney Station is One of 41 Subcommunities Comprising Piney Orchard in Odenton, Maryland

Another steep price drop for 2620 Barred Owl Way in the Piney Orchard section of Odenton, Maryland, shows the dangers of overpricing your property.

It's an REO property, meaning the home has just been through the foreclosure process. But for an REO, it's in terrific condition. Brand new neutral paint and carpet throughout. Upgraded cabinets & granite counters. 3-level bumpout. Superbath with separate tub and shower. Large deck with walk-out basement and a paver patio. 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths.

The Best Schools Near Fort Meade, Maryland

Fort Meade Schools

Ratings for Fort Meade-Area Public Schools Can Vary Greatly Depending on Neighborhood

As an active realtor in the Fort Meade, Maryland, area, I get calls and emails all the time from families needing to relocate to this area from all over the world.

Active-duty military personnel and others moving to work at Fort Meade often know nothing about living in the Baltimore/Annapolis/Washington, D.C. triangle, and one of the first questions many ask is about the quality of schools near the military installation.

As with almost any area, school quality in and around Fort Meade can vary greatly depending on neighborhood. Below is a list of the top-ranked public schools in the communities directly surrounding Fort Meade -- namely, Odenton, Severn, Jessup, Hanover, Gambrills, Laurel and Crofton.

For a free list of homes for sale or rent in an individual school district, contact me by phone (443-924-7418) or email (JerryKline@kw.com).

The school ratings provided below are taken from GreatSchools.org, the preeminent online school-rating website. GreatSchools.org compares schools based on test scores and other available data, including student academic growth and college readiness. Greatschools.org also provides school reviews written by parents, teachers, students and caregivers who have had recent, direct experience with their school to share its strengths and weaknesses.
