Homes in Beechtree
A master-planned community around a 30-acre lake and the Lake Presidential Golf Club course.
Living in Beechtree
Beechtree is built around a 30-acre lake and the Lake Presidential Golf Club course, with the HOA's community center and pools close by. The golf club and the HOA are separate, and buyers weigh both when they look at a home here. If you're selling, your pricing starts with how your home's setting, condition, and HOA costs compare with other Beechtree listings. If you're buying, this page explains what's included and what's separate.
Beechtree is a large master-planned community in Upper Marlboro, developed in phases beginning in the mid-2000s around a 30-acre lake and the Lake Presidential Golf Club course. You'll find single-family homes and townhomes, along with walkable trails, athletic fields, and a community center with pools and activities throughout the year.

HOA amenities and golf: what's included and what's separate
As in other golf course communities, it helps to separate the homeowners association from the golf club.
The homeowners association side of Beechtree includes the community center and pools, walking trails, and athletic fields.
Lake Presidential Golf Club is a separate business. The course is open to the public and sells its own memberships, and its restaurant, the Perch Grille, overlooks the lake. Golf is a separate cost from the HOA fee.
Buyers should review the community documents, current fees, and membership terms before purchasing.
What to weigh before buying in Beechtree
In a community this size, two homes can offer different daily lives. A townhome and a single-family home, or a home near the lake or course and one on an interior street, come with different space, upkeep, and views. We look at each home's layout, lot, condition, and the community fees so you can decide whether it fits how you want to live.
Because Beechtree was developed in phases, homes of different ages sit in the same community, and the age of a home affects what updating lies ahead.
It also helps to compare Beechtree with nearby choices. Oak Creek is gated, with approximately 1,200 homes around the Oak Creek Golf Club course. Marlboro Ridge offers an equestrian setting with a riding center and trails. Westphalia is newer and still growing.
Thinking about selling in Beechtree?
When you sell in Beechtree, buyers compare your home with other Beechtree homes first. A few things shape that comparison.
- Setting and lot. A view of the lake or the course, a lot backing to open space, or a usable backyard offers something other homes in the community may not.
- Home type and layout. Townhomes and single-family homes attract different buyers, and features like a main-level bedroom and full bath set a home apart.
- Condition and updates. Because the community was built in phases, an earlier home is compared with newer ones nearby, so its updates matter.
- The HOA fee. Buyers add it to their monthly cost when they compare your home with homes outside Beechtree.
- Competing listings. Other Beechtree homes on the market at the same time set buyers' expectations.
We prioritize preparation based on your home's condition, competing listings, and your budget. When the setting is part of the value, the marketing plan I recommend can show it, for example with drone photography of the lot and the lake.
