Hyattsville is safe?? Seriously?

Very safe.
Have you ever been in Historic Hyattsville??
Don't be a racist.

With a crime rate of 56 per one thousand residents, Hyattsville has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One's chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 18.

Don't be a racist.

From Norbeck Overlook, it is a 4-mile drive to Glenmont metro station. Or you can get a single-family home that feeds into Lucy Barnsley or Rock Creek Valley Elementary schools. Glenmont metro will still be around 4 miles away depending on the house location; and some homes are walking distance to Rock Creek Village shopping center. The Rockville HS neighborhoods are truly a hidden little secret. Great family-oriented community and the high school is one of the smaller ones in the county, and not overcrowded either. I regret not buying into this cluster.

Which HS is the Rockville HS cluster?

It's Rockville High School

Town of Hyattsville and Greater Hyattsville are not the same thing. If you lived here, you would know that.
That statistic covers the zipcodes of 20783, 20782, 20781, 20785, 20784, 20903, 20712, 20710, 20912, 20743 which includes Adelphi, Langley Park, Chillum, parts of Takoma Park, parts of Bladensburg, Landover, Kentlands, Columbia Park, Palmer Park, Bright Seat, and almost down to Seat Pleasant.

Yeah, Hyattsville is extremely safe. And no closer to the crime in Langley Park than the fanciest parts of Takoma Park, etc.

lol.. someone really has an inferiority complex about NoVa with all the postings about how much better NoVA is compared to its surrounding area. Get a life PP and stop embarrassing yourself.

BTW, I use to live in San Mateo County.

Or you have an inferiority complex triggered by actual data. VA is so far ahead at this point its not really a debate

DP and DC resident here... Honestly you making an effort to look up and post data is pretty pathetic and embarrassing. Stop equating your self worth to where you live. This is not a competition.

This is where you are wrong. Sure MD is ahead of VA as a whole but how many of us live in SW VA or rural MD? NOVA is richer than the MD suburbs due to attracting too businesses, innovative companies, and an increasingly skilled workforce.

Looking up data is pathetic? I guess it’s easier to argue the MD is awesome line when there is no data present.

[Anonymous]

And this is why we can't have nice things OP. Not sure why so.many people fight over which is better. I've lived in both, there are pros and cons, but it pretty much equalled out in the end

For me, the nicest place is where I have the best commute.

Yes it's pathetic especially when you're off topic. OP wasn't asking for a debate on which state is better or has a bigger dick.

DP. Grew up in MD and now live in VA....all of this is meaningless if OP’s commute is going to be better in MD.
