The Levitt homes of Belair
In the early 1960s Levitt and Sons, the builders of Levittown, began building Belair at Bowie on land from the historic Belair estate. Thousands of those homes still define Bowie today.
What makes them special
Planned from day one
Curving streets, neighborhood pools, schools and parks were laid out together, which is why Belair sections still feel walkable and connected.
A few familiar styles
Ranchers, Cape Cods, colonials and split-levels repeat across sections, so buyers can compare prices on similar homes with confidence.
Mature trees
Sixty years of growth gives Belair shade and privacy that newer communities take decades to match.
Real history nearby
Belair Mansion and the Belair Stable Museum sit in the middle of it all, open to the public through the City of Bowie.
Buying a Levitt home: what to check
- Age of the roof, windows and HVAC system, and whether the electrical panel has been updated
- Plumbing materials and the main sewer line, which a camera inspection can check
- Grading and drainage around the foundation
- Quality of past additions and whether permits were pulled
- Original layouts with closed kitchens, a common and popular renovation
Every home is different. A licensed home inspection is the right way to know a specific house.
Selling a Levitt home
Buyers compare your home against the same model a few streets over. Updates that buyers pay for most often are kitchens, bathrooms, opened-up layouts and newer systems. Bruno can show you what similar models in your section sold for and which updates actually paid off.
