About the Area

Hollywood is located in St. Mary’s County in Southern Maryland and uses ZIP Code 20636. Rather than functioning as a traditional incorporated town with a compact downtown, Hollywood covers a relatively broad geographic area where residential neighborhoods, rural roads, wooded parcels, farms, and waterfront communities blend together.

One of Hollywood’s distinguishing characteristics is its access to the Patuxent River and surrounding tidal waterways. Areas around Cuckold Creek, Broad Creek, Steer Horn Neck,
and the Patuxent River can include waterfront properties, private piers, larger lots, and homes positioned to take advantage of the area’s natural setting. Other parts of Hollywood have established residential communities and traditional suburban-style single-family homes.

The community also offers convenient access to several important destinations in
St. Mary’s County. Maryland Route 235, also known as Three Notch Road, is one of the primary transportation corridors through the area. Maryland Route 245 connects Hollywood with Leonardtown, while nearby Route 4 provides access toward Solomons and Calvert County.

Homes for Sale in Hollywood, MD

Buyers searching for homes for sale in Hollywood, Maryland may find a wider range of lot sizes and property settings than in some of the more densely developed areas of St. Mary’s County. Depending on location, available inventory can include traditional neighborhood homes, properties on wooded or larger parcels, newer homes, and waterfront residences.Because Hollywood covers a broad geographic area rather than a compact municipality, two homes with a Hollywood mailing address can offer very different surroundings. Buyers should consider the property's specific location, road access, utilities, water or septic systems, lot characteristics, school assignment, and proximity to employment or shopping when comparing listings.

Real Estate in Hollywood

Hollywood Maryland real estate is predominantly residential, with single-family homes representing an important part of the local market. The existing housing stock includes established ranchers, split-level homes, traditional two-story houses, custom residences, and properties on larger parcels. Your existing Hollywood community information also identifies acreage homes, fixer-uppers, waterfront properties, and homes located closer to the Route 235 corridor as part of the local housing mix.

Waterfront real estate is one of the more distinctive property categories in Hollywood. Homes near the Patuxent River, Cuckold Creek, Broad Creek, and other waterways may include water views, shoreline frontage, piers, or boating access. Buyers considering waterfront property should evaluate flood-zone information, shoreline conditions, pier permitting, insurance considerations, and Maryland Critical Area requirements for the individual property.

Homes on acreage are another option buyers may encounter. Hollywood’s less-dense development pattern means some properties offer larger lots, wooded settings, detached structures, or additional privacy that may be more difficult to find in denser portions of Southern Maryland.

New construction, townhomes, and other property types may appear within the broader Hollywood and adjacent California-area market depending on current inventory. Availability changes considerably over time, so buyers should review active listings rather than relying on historical price ranges or inventory levels.

No current market timeframe accompanied the historical home-price figures included in the supplied research, so those figures should not be treated as a current Hollywood market benchmark. Current listing and recent-sale data should be used when evaluating today’s Hollywood real estate market.

Getting Around
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.
