KONAHReal estate photography in Bowie, MD.
Bowie grew from a small railroad town into one of the biggest suburbs in Prince George's County, much of it starting with Levitt and Sons' Belair at Bowie development in the 1960s. Listings range from those original ranches, Cape Cods and colonials to newer single-family sections near Bowie Town Center and larger homes in Fairwood and Glenn Dale. The edge of the DC zone runs along the city's western side, so the address decides the drone plan.
Bowie neighborhoods.
Levitt houses, sixty years on.
The Belair sections were built from a short list of models, and most have been changed since: additions on the back, kitchens opened to the family room, garages turned into living space, basements finished where there is one. Two homes on the same street can be very different houses now, and the photos have to show what this one has. We shoot the additions and updated rooms in walking order so buyers understand how the house grew, and a measured floor plan ($75) shows the layout a listing description can't. Original details buyers like, from hardwood floors to a brick fireplace, get their own frames.
Bigger, newer homes on the edges.
Fairwood, the newer sections near Bowie Town Center and the larger lots around Glenn Dale bring a different shoot: four or five bedrooms, two-story foyers, finished basements and decks over wooded backyards. These need more photos than a standard set, so Listing Launch ($450) or Signature Luxury ($895) is the usual starting point, with aerials where the lot or the setting is part of the price. If the home backs to woods or a pond, that view is the second photo in the set.
Drone photography in Bowie.
Bowie straddles the edge of the DC zone in our check. Bowie Town Center clears every ring in our airspace check, and so does Old Bowie. West toward Glenn Dale the picture changes: Fairwood is inside the DC Flight Restricted Zone (17.3 miles around Reagan National) in our check, so our pilot files the FAA/TSA authorization before the flight (book a few business days ahead), and Glenn Dale is inside the DC Flight Restricted Zone (17.3 miles around Reagan National) in our check, so our pilot files the FAA/TSA authorization before the flight (book a few business days ahead). Because the line runs so close, we check every Bowie address when you book and tell you the lead time before you pay.

Bowie questions.
Can you fly a drone in Bowie?
Yes. Bowie Town Center clears every ring in our airspace check. Fairwood is inside the DC Flight Restricted Zone (17.3 miles around Reagan National) in our check, so our pilot files the FAA/TSA authorization before the flight (book a few business days ahead). Every address is checked when you book, so you'll know the lead time before you pay.
How do you photograph an expanded Levitt house?
We shoot the rooms in walking order so the additions make sense and add a measured floor plan, so buyers see how the house grew before they visit.
Do you cover Glenn Dale and Mitchellville?
Yes. Glenn Dale is on this page and Mitchellville is on our Prince George's County page; both are inside our service area.
Is there a travel fee to Bowie?
No. Bowie is in Prince George's County, inside our no-travel-fee area.
