LOCATION:
5709 Ramblewood Avenue is located in the Ramblewood Village subdivision in the Clinton area of Prince George’s County. Clinton is located a very short distance south of Washington, D.C., providing a wealth of employment opportunities with the Federal Government, government contractors, large corporations and an array of smaller companies serving the surrounding area. For those with commuting needs, the location is proximate to a number of major commuter routes, including the Capital Beltway (I-495, 3.5 miles north), Branch Avenue (within 1 mile), Pennsylvania Avenue (MD-4, 6 miles away), I-295, Suitland Parkway and Indian Head Highway all within a short distance. Dining, retail, shopping and an array of service businesses are located along Branch Avenue and Old Branch Avenue, both within 1 mile.

Ramblewood Village was developed from the late 1950s through the 1960s with homes having been constructed shortly thereafter. The approximately 120 neighborhood homes are predominantly brick and siding ranch and split level homes. Many neighborhood homes have been expanded and substantially updated over recent decades. Mature trees and landscaping provide a calm, suburban feel, and are commensurate with the age of the neighborhood. Pinewood Park is located at the southern end of the neighborhood.
