County considers plan for 112 homes at Oakwood Preserve in Upper Marlboro
County planners are weighing 112 homes at Oakwood Preserve, a 103-acre tract off Largo Road amid Prince George’s housing shortfall.
A 103.267-acre tract off Largo Road could add 112 single-family homes to Upper Marlboro if county planners advance Oakwood Preserve, a proposal that would revise final engineering plans for an approved recorded subdivision plat. The site sits on both the east and west sides of Maryland Route 202, about 1,726 feet south of Kent Drive, placing the project in one of the county’s most visible growth corridors.
The application, SDP-2025-0014, lists Daniel J. Schlegel as the agent and calls for about 112 single-family detached lots. It falls in Planning Area 79, Councilmanic District 6, Police Division II, Tier 2 and the Established Communities growth policy area, all of which tie the project to Prince George’s County’s existing growth-management framework rather than a new outlying development area.
The Saddleback review process moved through SDRC on May 8, and the Prince George’s County Planning Board is scheduled to take up the plan on June 25. Planning Board meetings are generally held on Thursdays, speaker registration opens five days before hearings, and residents can sign up online to testify. The board’s Largo Headquarters offices are closed to in-person visits during construction.
The proposal lands at a moment when county housing numbers remain under pressure. Prince George’s County did not meet its 2025 annual production target of 2,380 units, building 1,302 new units last year. Since 2020, the county has produced at least 8,440 units, still below its six-year target of 14,280, according to county housing data.
That gap gives added weight to even a single subdivision in Upper Marlboro, the county seat of Prince George’s County since 1721. Upper Marlboro had 652 residents within town limits in the 2020 census, though the broader area around the town is far larger and already carries the traffic, utility and service demands that come with county government, nearby neighborhoods and steady growth.
What remains to be seen is whether Oakwood Preserve moves ahead with the infrastructure to match its housing count. The current record shows the project scale, location and hearing date, but not a final vote, approval conditions or any formal neighborhood position on how roads, drainage, utilities and construction timing will be handled if the subdivision is approved.
