Brandywine Overview

Located in the hub of Prince George's County, Brandywine is a popular Maryland township that is big on amenities and opportunity. From lauded area schools to an abundance of historic structures and sites, this is one city well worth discovering.

What is the history of Brandywine?

Brandywine was established in the late 1800s, thought to take its name from an American Revolutionary War battle of the same title. The city's location near the Pope Creek helped it thrive as a stop for the Potomac Railroad, and Brandywine soon established itself as a prime railroad town. The city's first bank arrived in 1912, and today Brandywine continues to be a popular draw for both new and established residents of Maryland proper.

How is the weather in Brandywine?

Summers tend to be warm and humid in the city, while winters are conversely chilly but usually light on the snow end of things. Fall can be quite spectacular, with leaf colorings drawing visitors from around the region, and spring brings with it the rain on most years.

How do I get around town?

Most of those residing in apartments in Brandywine claim ownership of at least one personal automobile, with bus service limited and rail largely alloted for freight. Taxis and ride sharing services such as Lyft have become popular in the city, while air travel is mostly left to nearby major cities such as Baltimore and Washington, DC.

What is the Brandywine commute like?

U.S. Route 301 is a popular roadway near the city center, as is Maryland Route 5 to the east, both of which see their fair share of slow movement on most commuter days. Traffic around Brandywine itself tends to move at a brisk pace, given the local population of around 4,000 residents. 

What are the local media outlets?

The 'Maryland Independent' is a major print news source in the city, while radio WAMU handles talk programming in the area. Other formats including classic rock, R&B and sporting news can be found via the Washington, DC market, as well as a majority of broadcasting affiliates for major networks such as FOX and NBC.

Why live in Brandywine, MD?

Home to the popular Gwynn Park High School as well as a wide array of notable historic landmarks, Brandywine apartments make an excellent choice for those eager to discover Maryland living at its best. With easy commuter access to Washington, DC and a number of other job markets, Brandywine still maintains a effortlessly charming atmosphere of classic small town living. 

What Brandywine landmarks should I see?

The city is a history buff's dream, with local sites such as the Charles Early House dating back to the 1800s, and other hotspots including Black Walnut Thicket, the Marlow-Huntt Casket Store and the Old Bank of Brandywine additional must-visit locations. The Chapel of Incarnation is always a hit with architecture fans, while the Sasscer Tobacco Barn is a great spot for a picnic lunch. 

What is there to do around Brandywine?

Shop for bargains at the Brandywine Crossing retail center, or enjoy a true meal of southern-inspired cuisine at De'Soul Cafe. Cedarville State Forest is known for its fishing and horse trails, while the Society Hookah Lounge offers exciting late night atmosphere.

Any annual festivals or Brandywine events to know?

The Maryland State Fair is a giant yearly throw down as well, complete with amusement rides and plenty of food offerings.

Those looking to immerse themselves in big city excitement can enjoy all that Washington DC and Baltimore have to offer with a short drive, including museums, live music venues and a huge assortment of eateries. The Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge makes an excellent scenic getaway for a weekend, and Richmond, VA and the surrounding area offers plenty in the way of southern hospitality and camping options.
