I didn’t know about that. There are a lot transom fields in Beltsville. Well people live in Spring Valley for millions more.

College Park doesn't have beautiful housing stock. So many other college towns have beautiful homes but College Park for the most part does not. I wonder why?

It does have some very lovely homes in South College Park. But many of them are rentals so their beauty isn't maximized.

I don't know who here needs to read the wikipedia article about tract housing but here's the link

I'm sick and tired of imagining sprinters racing through the kitchen while pole vaulters fly over roofs

Y’all are so judgey. 🙄

It’s not my favorite part of PG and I think there are more family friendly neighborhoods in the same price range.
Check out Berwyn Heights.

Cheverly!

At this point, Cheverly is more expensive that North College Park and Berwyn Heights.

Mount Rainier, Brentwood, and Cottage City are nice and affordable.

You think CC is nice?

Nicer than North College Park.

Idk if I agree with that but to each their own.

N. CP has paint stores, a hyundai dealership, a Hampton Inn, tattoo parlor, an ikea, and a sex shop + no sidewalks and ugly track housing

Half of CC is a park. I'll take that instead.

Tell me you aren't familiar with College Park without telling me you are...newsflash, N College Park isn't just Rt. 1. We have the Hollywood Shopping Center which has MOMs organic store, Proteus Bike and Coffee shop, Posh Fitness studio, and Hollywood Nutrition smoothie shop. There is a new dog park in Daniels Park/Hollywood, new concession stand for events, new lighting and streetscape project. There is a new trail with a bridge off of Cherry Hill Rd that connects to the trail to UMD.

DP here. N. College Park's zoning is screwy. Yes, there's a Mom's organic store and Posh Fitness studio... but it's next to a Maryland unemployment office and a gas station. The Hollywood dog park is next to public works and a auto detailing shop. The neighborhood would have potential if the zoning wasn't screwed up.

+1 dh and I moved from Hollywood for this reason… despite the development there was too much random stuff built around the area

Where did you go?

Cheverly

Cheverly is much much nicer than those pgc exurbs

Cheverly is a pgc exurb

It's an inner-suburb since it's like 2 miles from the MD-DC border.

College Park is an exurb.

No. You are wrong.
5 miles from the DC line does not an exurb make.

dp here.

you both are wrong. if you can't walk to the district line within 45 minutes, then you live in the exurbs/outer suburbs/whatever you want to call it. i live in mount rainier, which is not an exurb.

This is the weirdest take I've ever heard haha. I live in Clarendon a short walk from the metro and google says it would take more than 45 minutes to walk to Georgetown. If your rule declares Clarendon to be the exurbs/outer suburbs/whatever then you need to rethink your rule haha

You are still living in the 19th century. Since the "innovation" of automobiles, that is not a measurement that anyone uses.
