Local Market Data
Prince George’s County Apartment Market
Figures gathered October 2026 from public market data.
If you plan to sell commercial property in Prince George's County, MD, start with the renter base behind it. Prince George's County counts 131,052 renter households, a 37.7% share of its 347,744 occupied homes, per the Census Bureau's 2020-2024 American Community Survey. Median gross rent reached $1,799, up 22.0% from the 2015-2019 survey, while population grew 5.6% to 959,754 residents.
Apartment supply has grown alongside that demand. Units in buildings of five or more apartments climbed 13.1% to 113,021, now 30.9% of the county's housing stock. Rental vacancy sits at 4.7%, and HUD's FY2027 two-bedroom Fair Market Rent for the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria area runs $2,438, well above the county median. Laurel, Bowie and College Park each show a different mix of renters, rent and vacancy, which matters for how a building prices.

Renters head 131,052 of the 347,744 occupied households in Prince George's County, a 37.7% share in the 2020-2024 ACS. Owners hold the larger group, at 216,692 households. Median household income reached $101,798 countywide, up 19.9% from the 2015-2019 survey.
That renter base concentrates differently by city. College Park posts the county's highest renter share at 66.0%, tied to its university-area housing. Laurel follows at 55.8%, while Bowie, a more suburban, owner-heavy market, sits at just 16.1%.

Rents, growth and affordability
If you sell commercial property in Prince George's County, MD, rent trends are the first thing to check. Prince George's County's median gross rent rose 22.0%, from $1,475 to $1,799, between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 ACS periods. Population grew more slowly, up 5.6% to 959,754 residents over the same span.
Rent burden runs high. In the 2020-2024 ACS, 52.9% of Prince George's County renters paid 30% or more of income on gross rent. HUD's FY2027 two-bedroom Fair Market Rent for the Washington metro area is $2,438, effective October 1, 2026, which is $639 above the county's median gross rent.
Supply has expanded alongside rents. Units in 5+ unit buildings in Prince George's County grew 13.1%, adding 13,047 units since the 2015-2019 survey. Rental vacancy in Prince George's County stands at 4.7%, a sign that new supply has not fully caught up with renter demand.
City-by-city comparison
Rent and renter mix vary sharply among Prince George's County's covered cities. Bowie posts the highest median gross rent at $2,330 but the lowest renter share, at 16.1%. College Park combines a high renter share with a large share of apartment-style housing.
| City | Median gross rent | Renter share | Share of units in 5+ buildings | Rental vacancy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Laurel | $1,873 | 55.8% | 45.8% | 1.9% |
| Bowie | $2,330 | 16.1% | 9.4% | 2.2% |
| College Park | $1,912 | 66.0% | 52.6% | 3.3% |
Laurel and College Park both post rental vacancy under 3.5%, tight by Prince George's County's own 4.7% countywide rate. Bowie's small renter pool, 3,466 households, makes its 2.2% vacancy figure more sensitive to a single building's move-ins or move-outs.
Rent growth also differs. College Park's median gross rent rose 25.1% since the 2015-2019 survey, the fastest of the three cities, while Laurel rose 19.6% and Bowie 23.4%, each ACS 2020-2024 figure compared with its 2015-2019 base.
Property taxes and assessment in Prince George's County
Apartment buildings in Prince George's County are assessed by the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation, which reassesses real property on a rotating three-year cycle under Tax-Property Section 8-104. Any increase in assessed value from that cycle is phased in over the following three tax years rather than applied all at once.
Once SDAT sets the assessment, Prince George's County and its municipalities apply their own property tax rates to that value. A buyer underwriting a Prince George's County apartment deal should request the current SDAT assessment notice and the county's real property tax rate before finalizing a price, since neither is fixed by statute.
What this means if you sell in Prince George's County
When you sell commercial property in Prince George's County, MD, you are selling into a county where 37.7% of households rent and 30.9% of units sit in 5+ unit buildings. Rental vacancy of 4.7% gives buyers room to underwrite lease-up risk against current occupancy.
Rent control is part of that underwriting. Prince George's County's Permanent Rent Stabilization and Protection Act caps annual rent increases at the lower of 6.0% or CPI-U plus 3%, which works out to 5.7% for the period running through June 2027. Units completed on or after January 1, 2000 are exempt, as are owners of five or fewer rental units who are natural persons, so a building's exemption status is a key diligence item.
Statewide, Maryland law caps security deposits at one month's rent and requires their return within 45 days, under Real Property Section 8-203, and requires 60 days' written notice to end a month-to-month tenancy under Section 8-402. As a multifamily buyer in Prince George's County, we review 5+ unit buildings from Laurel to Bowie to College Park as they stand today. Send a current rent roll, a T-12 and the latest SDAT assessment, and we will price the building on those numbers.
