Directions to
11104 Glenn Brooke Ct
Glenn Dale, MD 20769
301-805-8445
The house is about 7-8 miles east of the UMCP campus, right off MD-193, but before you would cross MD-450
  1. From campus, West and North: From 495 or 295 get onto MD-193 east (aka Greenbelt Rd). From 295 N or S it is a simple exit to get onto Greenbelt Rd, going east direction NASA Goddard.

    From 495 it can be tricky. The easiest, but slightly longer, is to take the Kenilworth Av. exit (#23) and make a left turn (going east) onto Greenbelt Rd. You can also take the Balto-Wash Pky exit (#22): first exit direction Baltimore, but once on 295N take the first exit onto Greenbelt Rd. Turn left onto Greenbelt Rd. The sign even says Glen Dale (spelled the wrong way).

    Once on 193E, you pass Eleanor Roosevelt Highschool and Goddard Space Flight Center, both on the left, and keep on going east. Cross Good Luck Rd. and Rt 564 (Lanham Severn Rd) and you pass over the Amtrak train tracks as 193 now curves to the right (south). Continue through one more traffic light (Prospect Hill Rd), make the next not-so-obvious right turn onto Daisy Lane. Go through 1 stop sign, and make a right turn at the 2nd stop sign onto Glenn Dale Rd. Then make the 2nd right turn onto Glenn Brooke Ct (cul-de-sac). Our house is the 2nd house on the left, #11104.

  2. From the North-East: From Rt. 3 south make a right onto 450 west. There is construction on 450, but eventually make a rt. onto MD-193. Pass the firestation, make the next left onto Daisy Ln. At the 2nd stop sign right onto Glenn Dale Rd. Then 2nd right turn into Glenn Brooke Ct. Our house is the 2nd house on the left, #11104.

  3. From the South-East: From Rt. 50 take 197 north, towards Laurel. Make a left onto 450 (West). There is construction on 450, but eventually make a rt. onto MD-193. Pass the firestation, make the next left onto Daisy Ln. At the 2nd stop sign right onto Glenn Dale Rd. Then 2nd right turn into Glenn Brooke Ct. Our house is the 2nd house on the left, #11104.

  4. From the 495 South (or quick alternative from 495 North): Take exit 19 off the beltway (495), direction Annapolis. This is Rt 50 East. Take the first immediate exit, onto Rt. 704, aka M.L.King Blvd., and take it north. Stay on this road, it will become Rt. 450 towards Annapolis after a few traffic lights. Once it is called 450, make a left at the next light, onto Glenn Dale Rd (Rt. 953). This road curves and bends a bit for about a mile, stay on Rt.953 through the stop sign. After that stop sign the 2nd right turn will be onto Glenn Brooke Ct. Our house is the 2nd house on the left, #11104.

For those travelling with public transportation:: Basically you will need to take "Metro" (the subway system in the DC area), take the Orange line to the (east) maryland endpoint, it's called New Carrollton. Both Union Station (on the red line) and (Reagan) National Airport (on the yellow line) connect to the orange line, so it it relatively easy to make it to New Carrollton. From either location it probably takes around 45 minutes to New Carrollton. One of us will then pick you up. In emergency, there is a bus from the station to near our house, but it's still a nice 1-2 mile walk. The B27 bus at the Rt.193 intersection is a little over 1 mile, and the B24/B25 bus at the Rt. 450/953 intersection is just under 2 miles (but a nice walk) See this map.
