Which Upper Marlboro MD Neighborhood is Better? Beechtree or Balmoral? 

Don’t be fooled check out my Upper Marlboro Maryland Hoods. Definitely have to watch your back in certain spots.

Team Beech Tree!!!! I love my home.

i'm still in love with Beechtree

Its best to randomly visit the neighborhood after midnight on a Friday/Saturday/Sunday. Also check out the local gas stations and shopping centers. Nothing worse than leaving in a nice neighborhood but the shopping center is ratchet.

A few years back, I was comparing Balmoral and Beechtree, and I really preferred Balmoral. Balmoral offers the best of both worlds as it is just a short ride away from golf courses. In the end, I chose Shipley Farms for a little more privacy and a larger yard. It is only a 10-minute drive to any of the courses, such as lake President, Oak Creek, or Enterprise.

Beechtree

Beechtree is my preference. Nothing about balmoral upon driving into the community speaks to nothing special and it definitely does not promote a “community” feel…just houses.

I shopped both and chose Balmoral. Also many of the homes were built by MI Homes.

Neither love Marlboro Ridge but I am biased since I used to live there

How much are the HOA dues at these properties?

Team Balmoral!!!!!

When I hear PG County, I am immediately turned off. It’s Prince George’s County. One of the most affluent counties in the country! How often do you hear MOCO, for Montgomery County. Exactly. Thank you for highlighting two of many upscale neighborhoods in the county. Affordability and value are two elements your listeners will appreciate. HOA costs should also be included in your surveys, as they can be very expensive and restrictive. Thus a key factor to consider when purchasing a home. Finally, a broader comparison is worth seeing in the future I.e. Woodmore(s); mature vs new neighborhoods; senior communities (they can have more money and have very specific needs. Until next time - keep up the good work.

Balmoral ❤

Lately no where in upper Marlboro

If you have children the school district is horrible. Be prepared to pay for private school. I wish someone would’ve told me to pay attention to the local schools.’

What is the HOA?

These types of neighborhoods are so cookie cutter in the middle of nothing

OAK CREEK is better than both.

Not even close, Beechtree.

I grew up in PG County, and lived there for more than 52 years. Because of the increase in crime and violence, I finally moved from Fairwood Estates and haven’t looked back since. I WOULD NOT recommend moving into that crime infested county until they clean it up.
