More townhomes are coming to the area just north of the Mall at Prince George’s in Hyattsville.

Stanley Martin Homes is building 331 homes in the Gateway West development, which will also have a playground and a wooded conservation area with walking trails next to the football field at Northwestern High School.

The homes will be three and four stories, ranging from 1,643 to 2,631 square feet, with a private garage, just off Belcrest Road and Toledo Terrace. Prices are anticipated to start in the mid $400,000s for the homes, which will go on sale this fall.

Overall, the design looks similar to the Riverfront development next to the West Hyattsville Metro station and the townhomes at the Station at Riverdale Park next to Whole Foods Market.

Developers are also working with the Hyattsville Community Development Corp. to decide on a $35,000 “iconic” piece of public art for the entrance, which would be installed this December.

The development will be just inside the crucial half-mile of the Hyattsville Crossing Metro station, next to the mall and across the street from University Town Center, adding to the walkability and transit access.

The land, including where the new townhomes will be built, was once part of the largely forgotten Heurich dairy farm.
