Top 5 Emerging Neighborhoods for Fix and Flips or Rentals in Prince George’s County Maryland (2026 Edition)
Prince George’s County Maryland has long been one of the most dynamic real estate markets in Maryland. Its close proximity to Washington, D.C., ongoing redevelopment projects, and strong rental demand make it a prime area for investors—especially those focusing on fix-and-flip opportunities.
If you’re scouting for your next deal, here are five neighborhoods in PG County worth keeping an eye on in 2026.
1. Hyattsville, MD
Hyattsville has been on investors’ radars for a while, but it’s still got legs. With a mix of single-family homes and rowhouses, plus proximity to the Metro, it attracts first-time homebuyers and young professionals. Ongoing redevelopment along Route 1 has brought new restaurants, retail, and energy to the area.
Flip Example – The 70% Rule in Action
Let’s say a renovated 3-bedroom rowhouse in Hyattsville is selling for $400,000. Using the 70% Rule:
MaxOfferPrice=(ARV×70%)–RehabMax Offer Price = (ARV × 70\%) – RehabMaxOfferPrice=(ARV×70%)–Rehab
If your rehab is estimated at $60,000, then:
(400,000×0.7)–60,000=220,000(400,000 × 0.7) – 60,000 = 220,000(400,000×0.7)–60,000=220,000
That means an investor should aim to buy at $220,000 or less to leave enough room for rehab, holding costs, and profit.
2. Capitol Heights, MD
Capitol Heights remains one of the most affordable entry markets near D.C. While prices have risen, there’s still opportunity on distressed properties. With its Metro stop and easy access to downtown, renovated homes appeal to both buyers and renters.
3. Suitland, MD
Suitland benefits from major government employment in the area. That job stability drives consistent housing demand.
Rental Example – The 1% Rule
Investors often use the 1% Rule to screen rentals: monthly rent should equal at least 1% of total investment (purchase + rehab).
Example: You pick up a property for $200,000, put $30,000 into rehab = $230,000 total.
The 1% Rule says rent should be at least $2,300/month.
In Suitland, updated 3-bedroom homes can realistically rent in the $2,300–$2,600/month range, meaning this deal would pass the quick rental test.
4. Temple Hills, MD
Temple Hills offers investors a strong mix of affordability and accessibility. Mid-century single-family homes here can shine with modest updates. The area works well for both flips and BRRRR strategies, especially given its commuter access.
5. Glenarden, MD
Glenarden has been gaining traction thanks to new construction projects and proximity to the Woodmore Town Center. Investors are starting to see spreads improve here, particularly with flips targeting young families and first-time homebuyers.
