Cheverly: A place to come back to

Barbara Pejokovich raised two children in Cheverly who, as teenagers are prone to do, swore they couldn’t wait until they grew up and moved on. But something about the small hamlet in Prince George’s County, right across the Washington line, draws people back.

“Both of my children married and bought homes in Cheverly,” said Pejokovich, who has lived there for 44 years. “They are still friends with the kids they went to grammar school with. It’s something you don’t find too often.”
