St. Charles Companies, Ryan Homes Move Forward on New Neighborhood


ST. CHARLES, Md.—The St. Charles Companies recently announced the start of infrastructure work on Fieldside, the newest neighborhood in the St. Charles community, located near Waldorf in Charles County. Ryan Homes will be the exclusive builder within Fieldside, offering single-family homes and townhomes at prices starting from the low 200's.

Located off Piney Church Road and St. Linus Drive, the new 500-home community is within easy reach of the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs Stadium and adjacent to the newest Charles County high school; the state-of-the-art, St. Charles High School, now under construction. Amenities will include a community center with extensive common areas, walking paths and playgrounds.

"Fieldside combines all of the best of St. Charles in a smaller, walkable neighborhood with the top notch amenities," said St. Charles Companies CEO, Alan Shearer. "Homes in Fieldside will be aggressively priced to appeal to a wide range of homebuyers looking for a convenient suburban location with a fully developed infrastructure, mature shade trees throughout and natural features and amenities designed to enhance a sense of community."

With site work underway, Ryan Homes expects to begin home construction in January with new residents moving in by spring of 2012.

Recently featured in the Washington Post's "Where We Live" section, St. Charles is the largest population center in Charles County and is known for its diverse and abundant neighborhoods, lively retail centers, recreational opportunities and excellent schools. St. Charles is home to the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs Atlantic League baseball team at Regency Furniture Stadium, and has several additional new construction projects underway within its boundaries, including the new St. Charles High School and a new public library. St. Charles appeals to all ages and lifestyles and was recently named by U.S. News and World Report as one of the nation's top bargains for places to retire.
