A massive D.R. Horton subdivision — 450 detached homes and 253 townhouses — is now approved on nearly 290 acres near Floral Park and Accokeek Roads in Brandywine. Expect years of construction, new traffic on MD 373 and Brandywine Road, and added demand on schools and services in District 9.

A resident surrounded by the project on three sides says he's been in two accidents just turning into his driveway and begged for fewer houses. The developer countered that density has actually dropped from 955 to 703 units, and the council moved the project toward approval.
