Radon testing on Olney's former farmland
Olney was mostly farmland as recently as the 1960s, and its residential character still reflects that recent conversion: large tracts became subdivisions of four- and five-bedroom colonials and contemporary-style homes on medium-to-large lots, many with full basements, attached garages, and mature trees planted when the neighborhoods were built. Neighborhoods like Hallowell, Tanterra, Allanwood, and the Highlands of Olney are typical of that 1970s-onward suburban development pattern, centered on the Olney Town Center commercial core at Georgia Avenue and Olney-Sandy Spring Road.
Because so much of Olney's housing was built to a more consistent, modern standard than older parts of the county, basement placement for a radon monitor is usually straightforward — but consistent construction doesn't mean consistent radon levels. Soil conditions vary lot to lot, which is exactly why a 48-hour test on the specific property, not an assumption based on the neighborhood, is the only way to know.
