  We can’t believe the school year is starting to push into summer break!  If only the weather would stay consistent. As it relates to summer, Landsdaleis surrounded by loads of camp options and local to-do’s. However, it also means that soon enough we’ll be staring down the start of a new school year – time flies when you’re having fun! NOW is the time to consider where you want to be when school kicks off and the Frederick County school district is certainly one to consider. Frederick County Public School is a successful school system in a diverse and growing community. Frederick County bridges rural, suburban, and urban lifestyles near both the Washington, DC and Baltimore metropolitan communities. Our residents can quickly confirm they balance top-rate academics with the personal caring and individual attention you would expect in a small town community. According to FCPS fast facts, the following is some things to consider:

• Maryland has ranked among America's top states for top-quality public education from 2009-2018 [Education Week's Quality Countsreports].
• While Maryland continues to lead the nation in Advanced Placement (AP) achievement, FCPS students' 3.27 mean AP exam score surpassed Maryland's 3.03 and the global 2.84. The percentage of students with AP scores 3 or better (on a 5-point scale, where 3 typically qualifies for college credit) was 73.6% at FCPS (with 4,522 exams), 64.7% statewide and 60.3% globally.
• FCPS achievement also exceeds Maryland averages with scores that consistently surpass national averages on the College Board SAT. Our mean 2018 SAT score was 1,149, compared to Maryland's 1,066 and the nation's 1,049.
• 99% of more than 1,000 employers surveyed indicated that FCPS students met or exceeded workplace readiness standards.

We believe Landsdalesets your kids up for success as it relates to a local community of year round events, sports, academics and perhaps the most exceptional quality of Landsdale is the incredible natural beauty surrounding it, making you feel that no matter what you’re doing, you’re living somewhere very special indeed.

  Recently the Washington Post sat down with a Winchester homebuyer at Landsdale. “We were tired of the hustle and bustle of Montgomery County, and living in a townhouse,” said Craig, 70, who used to work for the U.S. Department of Defense. “Roberta had an itch to scratch — she wanted a new single-family home, so we sized up and moved to Frederick County.” Life truly happens at Landsdale, where you will find a comfortable, connected and caring community with sweeping views of Sugarloaf Mountain yet accessible to your everyday needs and wants - from errands to commuting. Retirees Roberta and Craig Capen spent more than four decades living in Montgomery Village before buying in the Landsdale community in Monrovia, Md. The Capens purchased the Williamsport floor plan — one of seven single-family floor plans offered by Winchester Homes — for about $625,000. They chose to build a four-foot addition on one side and a porch at the front — both are optional — and to upgrade some of the finishes. We are thrilled the excitement for the community was shared in the Washington Post and that The Capens found their natural escape in Landsdale.

  Fredericks’ fastest selling community continues to grow and residents give it their seal of approval. As you search for your new home, at Landsdale, you’ll find this natural escape to be your very best choice for an energetic, planned community lifestyle.

One of the biggest home design trends in recent years is the first-floor owner’s suite. Historically, this product has been most popular with empty nesters looking for smaller active living space without stairs and additional upstairs space for guests. Today, more and more younger families are opting for this style of home as well, as it provides a more flexible living environment with easier access to primary living spaces, added privacy and separation, and plenty of room for everyone to spread out comfortably.

Ultimately, the decision to select a home with a first-floor owner’s suite is personal. That is why Landsdale is offering homeowners three new and diverse one-level living floorplans to choose from.

The Foster, by Ryan Homes, offers the convenience of one-level living while still having the space of a two-story home. It features a luxurious private owner’s suite, lavish owner’s bathroom and huge walk-in closet, two additional bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms, a two-car garage, and 2,374+ square feet. The foyer and fo  rmal dining room give a feeling of openness and light, flowing seamlessly into the open kitchen and spacious great room with a large center island and dinette, both perfect for entertaining or simply spending time together as a family.

 

The Bonnington, by Lennar, expertly blends the need for space with the desire for efficiency. This beautiful two-story home features a deluxe first-floor owner’s suite with spa-like bathroom and super shower, three secondary bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms, a two-car garage, and 2,892+ square feet. A library is adjacent to the formal dining room and the entry hall leads into the open concept gourmet kitchen with large breakfast nook and a great room with vaulted ceiling, ideal for an open, easy flow while hosting parties or family gatherings.

 

The Williamsport, by Winchester Homes, features single-level “ranch-style” living in an open and inviting floor plan including a large owner’s suite, two generous secondary bedrooms, two to three baths, a two-car garage and 2,440+ square feet. At the front of the home, the foyer is flanked by a formal living room and dining room, while to the rear, you’ll find the family room and an expansive kitchen that’s perfect for casual get-togethers with family and friends. The lower level is a blank canvas that can be customized to match your lifestyle needs.

The options to personalize these exquisite home designs are endless. Whether you are seeking additional bedrooms or bathrooms for your growing family and guests; flex spaces like a sunroom, finished recreation room, or home office; or additional features and upgrades – we can meet your needs and help you build the perfect home to complement the way you live.
