Wanted to get some feedback on the area surrounding Main Street in Laurel. This is on the PG side of Laurel so I'm sure people have opinions since it is in PG county. Considering this area for purchase but I do have concerns about future resale. . .

I noticed there are alot of apartments and duplexes (which you don't see much around here) in the Main Street area, which I don't feel is a bad thing because in these old types of cities you have a lot of different types of housing.

But I DO wonder how it effects house values and also resale value.

Also, the MARC train stop is very close to the main street. How's the noise level?

It would be GREAT to hear from anyone who has lived right on/off main street or within a very small radius (1 -2 miles).

Thanks!

I don't think the noise from the train will be a problem. It's on the other side of route 1.

I live in the historic district in Laurel. I like the Main Street area. I don't think you will have an issue with any of the duplexes or apartments in that general area. Most of these places have long time residents and many are condos or privately owned. One of the larger apartment buildings on Main Street is a retirement home. I see many of these older adults walking on Main Street and they don't seem to be worried. It is areas outside of the historic district that might be of more concern. Are you buying one of the old Victorians? I believe resale on these shouldn't be a problem. I have noticed homes are on the market longer now, but at one point (a few years ago), they were selling as fast as the for sale signs went up. I would assume it will once again be like that in the not too distant future. I don't believe the train will be an issue. It is much farther down from the residential area of Main Street.
