The Hopkins Farm is strategically located on route 213 just south of Centreville, Maryland. The entrance is directly across from Symphony Village at Centreville, an active adult living community, which has built and sold 300 out of a total of 395 permitted homes.

One of the few asset classes that didn't blow up in the meltdown was farmland.
