Agreed. Considering Charles county is one of the richest counties in Maryland and highest in taxes it would be a great to bring more healthy and desirable alternatives to Charles county☺️.

Charles county, Maryland, is an example of black gentrification. No liberal paternalism, no giving welfare to make one dependent, no American Dream, just the reality of a tangible black dream. This is for us, let the outsiders play with their narratives of black life while we live the tangible. We earned the way we live! Let's make it contagious! I'm pro-black positivity!

We bought our home summer last year. We love it! More money for the buck. 6-7 bedrooms, finished basement, 3 acres long driveway, in-ground pool, no water bill in a prestigious quiet neighborhood in small town called Hughesville (near Waldorf and La Plata) The houses are spaced far apart and there are so many acres of land that we hardly ever see our neighbors ( I loove the privacy)....We have a lot of black excellence in the neighborhood and would love more.

Lived in Charles County for 8 years and see lots of commercialization happening particularly in Waldorf & La Plata pronounced (Play-da). I lived off Bensville Road, which I still believe has the best neighborhoods in the County, including Friendship, Brentwood, etc. I just wish the county can have more neighborhoods akin to some of the more affluent black communities in PG such as Beechtree, Woodmore, Fairwoods, etc. They desperately need that. And perhaps a flagship grocery store (Harris Teeter, Trader Joes, etc.), and shopping, and a better facelift in North Waldorf, especially. But, overall, lots of good black folk in the area. I felt a strong community there and I do miss that

Longtime Chalres resident and seen it change over the past 20 years with a lot more coffee in the cream. However, once you get past LaPlata there is not much left of Charles. Most of the population in concentrated in just a few area and the rest is pretty rural and not that populated. think many of the Whites left are leaving for Calvert and St Mary's. Just wish parents did a better job with raising their children.

I hope those successful couples are having a lot of babies.

I live in Charles County. Happy I made the move. I enjoy living here. There are definitely opportunities to improve the county. 1) Public transportation needs to be built out. I see that grants are proposals are being moved, but they need to speed it up. 2) Shopping options need to be improved. More money has moved here and that should let the developers and companies know that people here will spend money for quality. 3) More money needs to be put in the schools and kid activities overall. 4) Crime. No city or county is exempt from crime. But we can improve upon it. 5) Highways. There needs to be more than just Crain highway as a major way in and out of the cities and towns. That traffic situation needs a major fix.

The county officials didn't keep match the hwy infrastructure with the housing boom. Metro Transit Green Line extension is long overdue!

My mom relocated our family to Charles County in 2001, while I was in college. She bought a relatively small town home here for less than 100K. With all the growth in the area over the last 20+ years… that same home is worth 400K now. It’s amazing to have witnessed the growth here.

This is interesting. As I grew up in DC and lived in Montgomery county, I would’ve never thought of Prince Georges, or now, Saint Charles County, where my parents moved to as a rich area. But haven’t traveled across the country everywhere else,… 😵‍💫 I now understand.

Sounds about right, it has to do more with the schools than PG County. As affluent as PG County is in regards to high income and home ownership among African Americans, crime is terrible and so are the schools.

This is not new. It's always been like this. My uncle who is African American and the Vice President of a marketing firm lives there.

Chuck County is very nice but just for situational awareness as stated it is much smaller than Prince George’s county and Chuck County only has just under 170k total residents compared to over 980k total residents that Prince George’s county has. But again both super dope Black areas in my opinion. Hopefully 🤞🏾the black citizens of these areas and others like this in similar successful majority black areas throughout the country can start “jointly” moving forward business wise, economically wise and politically to sustain and grow our success and to assist our less fortunate brothers and sisters in getting them to the next class level.
