Forest Heights, MD Real Estate

Forest Heights is a town in Prince George's County, Maryland, United States, and part of the larger postal designation Oxon Hill, MD. The town straddles both sides of dual-lane Maryland Route 210 and includes two elementary schools. The population was 2,585 at the 2000 census, a decline from approximately 3,600 in 1960 when households had more children. A few homes were built in the 1930s, but most of the town developed in the 1940s and early 1950s, consisting of single-family homes with some streets of duplex homes. In those days many town residents (including its first Mayor) worked at the adjacent U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, but virtually none do now. The Capital Beltway (I-95/495) was opened in the early 1960s through the town, including the Woodrow Wilson Bridge crossing to the major city Alexandria, Virginia, which when fully widened in mid-2008 will provide relief from today's horrendous commuter traffic backups. Forest Heights is bordered on the North by the aging Eastover Shopping Center and by several miles of low-income, high-crime areas (see Anacostia ), but fortunately has its own town police, in addition to a County police station right at the town limits. Forest Heights is bordered on the South by the gigantic under-construction National Harbor conference center and resort of the Gaylord Corporation. After decades of former governmental stability, in the 2000's the town made headlines as its two most recent mayors were embroiled in clashes with the town council.
