Prince George's County backs 293 affordable senior homes near Metro
County officials backed 293 senior apartments in Capitol Heights, a quarter mile from Addison Road Metro, for households earning up to 60% of area median income.
Prince George’s County has backed 293 affordable senior homes for Capitol Heights, moving Addison Park toward construction a quarter mile from the Addison Road-Seat Pleasant Metro Station. The project is designed for residents 62 and older, with rents set for households earning up to 60% of area median income and affordability protected for at least 40 years.
The county’s Department of Housing and Community Development announced a $3 million investment that includes Housing Investment Trust Fund financing, and the project also won approval for a Payment in Lieu of Taxes. Addison Park is being built as a public-private partnership involving the Prince George’s County Redevelopment Authority, CJR Development Partners and Miami-based Atlantic Pacific Companies, under the county’s Blue Line Corridor strategy to put more housing near transit, jobs and services.
The plan calls for two mid-rise, four-story buildings at 6180 Old Central Avenue, also listed as 216 Yolanda Avenue. Planned amenities include club rooms, a fitness center, a business center, laundry facilities, an outdoor courtyard with grills, secured access control and elevators. Mission of Love Charities will provide on-site support for residents and community members, giving the project a service component alongside the housing.
County Executive Aisha Braveboy called the revitalization of Addison Park “smart, community-focused investment,” while Governor Wes Moore said Marylanders deserve a safe and accessible place to call their own. Perry Paylor of the Redevelopment Authority said the project would help seniors remain connected, independent and thriving.
The schedule still stretches to January 2028, even though a county-state announcement put completion at late 2027. The Prince George’s County Planning Board approved the plans in December 2024, and by February 2025 the development had won final entitlements for a $94 million project.
Addison Park is also part of a broader master plan that includes 56 for-sale townhomes, about 4,000 square feet of renovated space for Mission of Love Charities and a future municipal office for Capitol Heights. The Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development has financed eight senior communities over the past six years and is supporting three more now under construction, a pipeline that will add 642 affordable senior units when complete.
