Hello, my husband and I are relocating to Indian Head from Clinton, MD. Can anyone tell me about the area. how is the crime, communities and schools in the area. I have a 1 year old. Are their any trustworthy daycare provides in the area. We have started looking for houses in the area. How is Brawner's Estates, or any other community near the beltway.

Here's a place to start:

I have have looked on that site and found a few interested things about the town, but it doesn't mention any communities per sa.

What exactly are you looking for? The area you mentioned in your first post is not what I'd call Indian Head. :shrug:

Isn't Brawner Estates that new neighborhood on 225? Kind of lower down near 210?

What's it near? When I look at up it shows it as Ft. Washington.

Ahhhhhh... really nothing, kind of like driving along and wow a neighborhood.

I just remember the name "Brawner" which is a popular name there in that neighborhood.

The best bet is to call the local police department and ask what sorts of calls they have ran in that neighborhood. I would imagine anywhere in Indian Head would be better than Clinton.

It's in Indian Head. Its off of Metropolitan church RD and I'm looking for a single family home.

I didn't see it listed on the CCSO website as a Crime Watch neighborhood in Charles County. They list all of the neighborhoods that do the crime watch and then it breaks things down as to what kinds of police calls they run there.
But it does have to be better than Clinton.

It might be better that Clinton. I just looked at the CCSO site myself and didn't see that neighborhood. So I'm going to take that a good thing. Plus I'll visit the police dept. in Indian Head to find out more info. today. I heard that they are building the town up and that it's a 5 to 10 years for planning and development Indian Head.

Good Luck. I hope everything works out for you. Moving is a pain in the butt so I wouldn't want to risk moving to a bad area and then having to move all over again. The police in Indian Head are county police. The just have a small station there too. Is this a really new neighborhood?

Brawner Estates is much closer to Bryans Road then to Indian Head. There seems to be a lot of teenagers hanging around there. Indian head is a pretty safe place as is Charles County. I think there were 5 murders in Charles County in 2006 and all of the victims knew their killers.

The western side of the county kind of fizzeled out. There are tons of people there but no real ammenities. 1 grocery store, no blockbuster one 2 fast food restruants and no national sitdown restruants.

Believe it or not, Marshall Hall Restaurant is very good (Rt. 227 just past Strawberry Hills).

And the Giant is right off of 210 on the corner of Rt. 227, which isn't right around the corner, but it sure beats going to Waldorf.

And there is a Safeway and Food Lion right in Bryans Road.

I went through Brawner Estates this evening (which imo, is in BR, ) and noticed the same thing 2ball did. I'm not sure I'd want to live there. There are much nicer places in Bryans Road, Indian Head, and Marbury. :shrug:
