About the Area Bowie MD

Bowie covers approximately 20 square miles in Prince George's County and has a population of more than 57,000. The city's location places residents within the broader Washington metropolitan area while providing access to Annapolis, Baltimore, and communities throughout central Maryland.


Bowie has changed considerably from its early collection of farms, plantations, villages, and railroad settlements. The arrival of the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad helped establish the community, while later residential development transformed Bowie into the suburban city buyers know today.


One of Bowie's distinguishing features is the combination of residential development and preserved community amenities. The city reports more than 1,373 acres of parks and preserved open space and more than 28 miles of paths and trails.


Historic destinations such as Belair Mansion, the Belair Stable Museum, and Bowie Railroad Museum provide a connection to earlier periods of local history, while destinations such as Bowie Town Center, Allen Pond Park, and the city's recreation facilities support everyday community life.


For prospective homeowners, that combination makes Bowie worth considering for buyers who want suburban housing while remaining connected to major employment, transportation, shopping, education, and recreation options throughout the region.
