Real Estate in California

California Maryland real estate includes both established housing and newer residential development. Older homes coexist with planned communities and more recent construction, giving buyers options across different architectural styles, lot configurations, and community settings.

Single-family homes make up an important part of the local market, while townhomes and other attached housing provide additional choices. Communities such as Wildewood are particularly notable within the California area, while neighborhoods including Laurel Glen, Beverly Hills, San Souci, Maple Run, and Woods of Myrtle Point contribute to the variety of local housing.

Water-oriented properties can also be found in parts of California. Proximity to the Patuxent River and its tributaries is one of the area's distinguishing geographic features, although actual water frontage, water access, flood considerations, and boating amenities vary by individual property.

Historical pricing information supplied for this page included a median home value of approximately $270,000 and other price ranges.

Getting Around California Maryland

Driving is the primary way most residents travel through Hollywood and the surrounding St. Mary’s County area.
Maryland Route 235 / Three Notch Road is the community’s primary north-south transportation corridor. It connects Hollywood with California and Lexington Park to the south and Mechanicsville and northern St. Mary’s County to the north.

Maryland Route 245 / Hollywood Road and Sotterley Road provides an important east-west connection. From the Route 235 intersection in Hollywood, Route 245 leads west toward Leonardtown and east toward the Sotterley and Patuxent River portions of the community. Official county directions identify the Routes 235 and 245 intersection as a central Hollywood reference point.

Hollywood is also positioned near Maryland Route 4, providing access toward the Thomas Johnson Memorial Bridge, Solomons, and Calvert County.

Public transportation is available through the St. Mary’s Transit System (STS). Current county route information includes Route 12 between California and Charlotte Hall via Leonardtown, with Sunday service identified through California, Hollywood, and Leonardtown. Riders should review the current STS schedule before planning a trip because routes and operating times can change.

For aviation, the St. Mary’s County Regional Airport is located near the Route 235 corridor approximately four miles northeast of Leonardtown. It serves general, corporate, emergency, and other regional aviation activity rather than functioning as a major scheduled commercial airline airport.

For commercial airline travel, residents generally use airports in the Washington–Baltimore region, including Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, and Washington Dulles International Airport. Travel time varies significantly based on destination, route, and Washington-area traffic.

Hollywood’s location is also convenient for the employment corridor surrounding Naval Air Station Patuxent River, although actual commute time depends on the starting address, destination gate, and traffic conditions.
