Brandywine, MD

Brandywine is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in southern Prince George's County, near the Charles County line. It sits along the busy Route 5 corridor, with older crossroads settlement patterns now mixed with commuter traffic, schools, farms, and new development. Brandywine residents are served by Prince George's County Public Schools, and the community remains more spread out than the county's inner suburbs. It feels like a rural-suburban edge place, still connected to Washington-area growth.
