Laurel real estate is home to several private schools. St. Vincent Pallotti, located at 113 St. Mary's Place in Laurel Md, is approxiametly 87 years old. First started in 1921 as St. Mildreds' Academy, the student population has grown from 23 students to over 500 students today. The school has been renovated several times through the years with the most recent being in 2001.
The 2001 expansion was the most ambitious adding 47,000 square feet to the campus and bringing Pallotti into the modern era. The expansion added administrative offices, a state of the art media center, a two basketball court gym and other additions as well.
You can find more facts and information at the school's web site.
Laurel real estate keeps impoving. According to the Gazette, several Laurel Md roads will be resurfaced as part of an overall plan to improve the city roads. The article stated Alan Drive, Carissa Lane, Eighth St, Kalmia Dr., Laurel Oaks La., Laurelton Dr., and 10th St. will all be resurfaced before December of 2008.
Other roads will be resurfaced as well at a later date. These first roads were picked because WSSC must dig up other streets to repair broken pipes. The article also mentioned the cost is expected to be under budget for what the city of Laurel Md had planned.

How will these tough economic times effect Laurel real estate? Well did you watch the stock market yesterday? After dropping over 700 points it went back up almost 500 points.
Did you see that?
All this gloom and doom about how bad the stock market is doing because of all these businesses going under. Now that the market shot up again, does that mean everything is ok? No ofcourse not. The stock market will survive anything. It has survived wars, natural disasters and even the 9/11 tragedy. The stock market is not a good way to judge where we are financially.
I am not sure what is a good way to judge where we are economically as a country. I will tell you this....I believe it is a global economy. All countries effect each other. So where we are is connected to where everyone else is.
So how is all this going to effect Maryland real estate? I am not sure. The lenders I work with are ready to lend. No one has told me they don't have any money. There has been some tightening of the rules, but not prohibitively so. However, to counter that, prices have come down significantly.
You know what this is? This is a great time to buy a home in Laurel Md. In fact, its a great time time to buy any Maryland real estate.

Want a nice view of Laurel real estate and get some exercise at the same time? The Laurel Md Riverfest 5K Run/2 Mile Walk will be held October 11 2008. The race starts and finishes at Riverfront Park in Laurel Md on Avondale St. just off of Main St. The race is also sponsored by First Generation College Bound.
What is great about this race, is they offer prizes in various catagories. Some prizes are based on age for the over forty crowd and ofcourse seperate prizes per gender. This race would also be a good tune-up for the Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving. The Turkey Trot will also be held in Laurel Md at the First United Methodist Church on Main St.
I hope to see you at Riverfest.

When I purchased my first Laurel real estate over ten years ago, I had no idea if my neighbors shared my passion for the Washington Redskins football team. I use to live in Montgomery County Md and that was Redskin country. When I moved to Laurel Md, I knew I was a little bit closer to Baltimore Md, the home of the NFL Baltimore Ravens. In fact, I was now only thirty minutes from the Ravens new stadium.
What I have discovered is that most of my neighbors are Redskin fans. Yes, there are some Raven fans here as well. There are more Ravens fans here than in my previous residence in Montgomery County Md. It appears that Laurel Md is mostly Washington Redskin turf. The Baltimore Ravens are a good football team and have one a Super Bowl more recently than the Redskins. It looks like the Ravens will have a good team this year.
I enjoy the kidding fans of different teams give each other. I just don't like people who are jerks and don't know when they have crossed a line. I also like people who are knowlegable about the game and can admit when a player from another team makes a good play. Forunately, most Raven and Redskin fans are knowledgable and good sports.
Thank goodness Redskin and Raven fans can live in peace next to each other. It makes living in Laurel Md that much more enjoyable.
