A Rooted Cheverly Home With Enduring Character

The home at 2820 Crest Avenue sits within Cheverly, one of the earliest planned communities in the Washington metropolitan area. Built in 1938, the residence reflects the architectural sensibility of its era — modest in scale, deliberate in proportion, and well-suited to the neighborhood’s wooded, curvilinear streetscape.

Three bedrooms and two full baths are arranged across 1,420 square feet, a footprint that balances livability with the kind of spatial efficiency that characterizes Cheverly’s housing stock. The one-car garage and concrete driveway provide off-street parking — a practical asset in a community where the street grid was designed before the automobile era dominated planning decisions.

Cheverly’s location in Prince George’s County places it within easy reach of the District, with Metro access connecting residents to the broader regional network. The town’s incorporated status means it maintains its own municipal services and a strong tradition of civic engagement, qualities that have defined the community for decades.

For buyers evaluating inner-Beltway options in Prince George’s County, Cheverly offers a combination of historical depth, architectural consistency, and transit access that is difficult to replicate at this price point.

Built in 1938
The home dates to 1938, placing it among Cheverly’s original housing stock. That vintage carries architectural integrity — proportioned rooms, solid construction, and a streetscape relationship that newer infill rarely achieves. At 1,420 square feet across three bedrooms and two full baths, the layout is efficient without feeling constrained.
Practical Parking
A one-car garage and concrete driveway provide reliable off-street parking. In a community designed around pedestrian movement and green space, dedicated parking is a meaningful practical feature. The driveway also offers flexibility for additional vehicles or storage.
Incorporated Town
Cheverly is an incorporated municipality, distinct from unincorporated Prince George’s County. That status brings its own town government, community programming, and a level of neighborhood cohesion that residents consistently cite as a defining quality. The town’s tree canopy and curvilinear streets remain largely intact from the original 1935 plan.
Inner-Beltway Value
Priced at $454,000, this home sits at a competitive position for inner-Beltway Prince George’s County. Buyers comparing options across the DC metro area will find Cheverly’s combination of Metro proximity, architectural character, and municipal identity difficult to match at this price level.

Property Location

About 2820 Crest Ave

The home at 2820 Crest Avenue was built in 1938 and offers three bedrooms, two full baths, and 1,420 square feet of interior space. The one-car garage and concrete driveway distinguish it from homes in the neighborhood that rely solely on street parking. The scale and layout are consistent with Cheverly’s original housing typology — compact, well-proportioned, and designed for the site.

Cheverly is a planned community incorporated in 1939, developed from a 1935 master plan that emphasized green space, curved streets, and a pedestrian-oriented town center. The neighborhood sits just inside the Capital Beltway in Prince George’s County, roughly equidistant between downtown Washington and the inner suburbs. Its architectural consistency and tree canopy have been preserved through decades of active community stewardship.

Residents of Cheverly have access to the town’s own parks, community center, and pool, as well as the broader amenities of the surrounding area. The Blue and Silver Line Metro station at Cheverly provides direct rail access to the District and points west. Local dining, grocery options, and daily services are available within the surrounding commercial corridors of Prince George’s County.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Property

Key details about the residence, building, and location to help you evaluate this opportunity.

Cheverly is an incorporated municipality, meaning it has its own town government, community center, pool, and civic programming. It was developed from a 1935 master plan emphasizing green space and pedestrian-oriented design. That planned character and municipal identity have been maintained for decades, distinguishing it from surrounding unincorporated areas.
The Cheverly Metro Station on the Blue and Silver Lines is accessible from the neighborhood, providing direct rail service into downtown Washington and connections to the broader regional network. For buyers who commute into the District or travel frequently, the station is a meaningful practical asset.
Cheverly operates as an incorporated town rather than a traditional HOA community. Residents pay municipal taxes that fund town services, parks, and the community center. There is no private HOA with monthly fees in the conventional sense for single-family homes in the town.
Homes built in Cheverly’s original development period reflect the architectural character that defines the neighborhood’s identity. The proportions, materials, and site relationships of late-1930s construction differ meaningfully from later infill. Buyers who value that historical continuity often find Cheverly’s original stock more compelling than newer alternatives.
The home includes a one-car garage and a concrete driveway, providing reliable off-street parking for at least two vehicles. In a neighborhood designed with pedestrian circulation in mind, dedicated off-street parking is a practical advantage that not all homes in the area share.
At $454,000 for 1,420 square feet, the home is priced at approximately $320 per square foot. For inner-Beltway Prince George’s County, that figure reflects the market positioning of established Cheverly homes relative to comparable options in DC and Montgomery County.
Cheverly sits just inside the Capital Beltway, with access to commercial corridors along Landover Road and Annapolis Road for daily needs. The town’s own parks and community facilities supplement what the surrounding area provides. Buyers should explore the neighborhood directly to assess the fit with their daily routines.
The Wardman Residential team at Compass has worked with buyers across Prince George’s County, including Cheverly and the inner-Beltway communities. We can provide recent comparable sales, context on the local market, and advisory support through the full purchase process. Reach out to connect with a team member.
