NORTHRIDGE - A PRIVATE, PEACEFUL AND SPECTACULARLY BEAUTIFUL COMMUNITY IN BOWIE, MD. The planning for Northridge took about 5 years.  Michael T. Rose, the developer for the Northridge Community spared just about every tree in the wooded acres that would become Northridge.  By many estimates, there are over 850 trees in Northridge.  Many home sites have wooded lots with trees in the back and many have trees incorporated into the landscaping of the yards.   We knew it was special the first time we drove through the undeveloped home sites while the sites were being graded and the lake filling.  Northridge offers a community center, swimming pool, tennis, ball courts, hiking trails that thread throughout, and trees everywhere.   Builders in the community included Michael T. Rose, Centex, Ry... 08/05/2008

BOWIE MARYLAND HOME BLEEDS SEWAGE  An eye-catching title or living a nightmare, depending on whether it's your house or someone else's.   The same people I introduced to you a few weeks ago in another blog - Tenants Faced With Foreclosure - Lives Turned Upside Down - are now renting a nearby home in Bowie, Maryland, that is literally bleeding sewage:  Sewage seeping up between the planks of wood flooring, sewage coming out of the walls, sewage backing up through the toilets and drains, sewage seeping outside between the slab foundation and structure of the house. So much for the hoped-for blog about everything turning out fine for this family - it hasn't yet. Mom and the kids have evacuated with the clothes on their backs to a hotel, and Dad hasn't slept in over 24 hours, as he's been t... 04/17/2008

  Relocating to the Washington-Baltimore area from another part of the country?  You may notice that many Bowie homes are similar to other neighborhoods in Maryland including nearby Crofton, Largo, Laurel, Columbia and Wheaton.    In fact, Belair at Bowie may resemble a place you previously lived in New York or New Jersey, Virginia or Pennsylvania - literally hundreds of communities, with many of the same floorplans and architectural designs, were built in hundreds of communities by Levitt and Sons.  In fact, the company is still in business as Levitt Corporation, 36 years after the family company was sold. Few current Bowie residents are old enough to remember Pete Seeger's hit recording in 1963, Little Boxes, but you may get a kick out of reading the lyrics of Little Boxes.  Lots of f... 04/04/2008

Home Sellers, This Is For You! In case you've been living on another planet or just never thought about it, "FSBO" is a common acronym for "For Sale by Owner".  The term is most often used in regards to selling real estate without professional help (or with minimal professional involvement by a so-called "discount broker").Here are a few common myths you may have heard: 1.  I WILL SAVE A TON OF MONEY (I want to keep those commission dollars in my own pocket):It is a commonly-held belief that home owners who sell FSBO save the real estate commission.  The truth is that any FSBO buyer has every intention of putting that commission in his/her own pocket - not increasing the sellers' profit!  Selling FSBO could easily cost a seller more than that full-service commission they're avoiding.Jus... 03/21/2008
