Homes for Sale in Takoma Park & Demographics, Montgomery County MD, 800-711-7988. Recent History of Takoma Park.  Until 1997, the City of Takoma Park was partly in Montgomery County and Prince George's County.   After much lobbying, a State-sponsored referendum was placed on the ballot with a majority of votes in favor of unification of Takoma Park in Montgomery County.   Following subsequent approval by both County Councils and the Maryland General Assembly, the county lines were moved to place all land within the City into Montgomery County (including territory in Prince George's County newly annexed by the City) on July 1, 1997.     This information brought to you by:Lenn Harley, Broker, Homefinders.com, 800-711-7988.  Serving home buyers in MD.       Takoma Park Demographics     Pop...

The American Foursquare Style was popular from the mid 1890's through the 1930's.  Unlike the ornate Victorian Style houses of the era, the four square stands out as a plain "boxy" style house.The typical foursquare has a square, cubic design that is 2 to 2 1/2 stories high.  The simple floorplan of the Four Square is 2 boxy rooms wide by 2 rooms deep on each floor. A foursquare will most likely include a center dormer and a large front porch with wide stairs. Another common feature of the foursquare is a distinctive hip roof.  A four square house often offers wonderful interior detailing such as craftsman style woodwork, high ceilings, vintage light fixtures , built-in cabinetry, arches and hardwood floors. This style of home was great for the small, narrow city lots of this era, becau...

Takoma Park, or "Granola Park" as some locals call it now, was the first planned suburban community of Washington, DC.  Founded in 1883, by Benjamin Franklin Gilbert, Takoma Park was developed along a branch of the B & O railroad. It was originally conceived as a "summer resort" area, as a healthful clean-water alternative to Washington, DC's malarial swamps. With a population of 18,000 it rests along the upper northeast boundary of D.C. and strattles Montgomery and Prince Georges Counties in Maryland.  B.F. Gilbert named his community TAKOMA an Indian word meaning "High Up - Near Heaven".  Takoma Park has it's own city government, police department, library and is served by Montgomery County Schools Religion and politics has shaped the Takoma Park community. From the early 1900's to 19...

The people behind the Grant Avenue Market in Takoma Park, MD are geniuses for scheduling opening day on Mother's Day! After enjoying breakfast in bed, extra snuggles from my girls and hide-and-seek surprises (my 5 year old insisted that I had to find my gifts she had hidden throughout the house), I got to get my vintage on. We spent most of the day in Takoma Park, MD and it turned out pretty near perfect. We strolled along Carroll Ave, stopped by the Farmer's Market to pick up a loaf of olive bread, got a free ride to the Grant Avenue Market courtesy of the DC Pedicab, had a special Mother's Day picture taken at Nikoo's Photos booth, hunted for treasures, stopped for ice-cream and topped it all off with lots of laughter and love. The only thing amiss, I wish I could have hugged my mom, ...
