Located in the Brandywine region of Prince George's County, Maryland, along the west side of Route 301, Renard Lakes is a planned community of single family detached houses and townhouses designed around central environmental features. These include a series of tiered man-made lakes and waterways, connecting into an existing stream valley. The natural features also help separate the development into a series of neighborhoods, bounded by the lakes, stream valley and steep slopes. Connecting these neighborhoods is an extensive circulation network for pedestrians and carefully planned for vehicles.
