[quote=Anonymous]We lived in greenbelt for a few years and loved it. Thought it was the bees knees before moving to Arlington lol. Not all places in gb are created equal, but there are some great houses in Windsor green. Downside of that is people never move so it’s hard to catch one on sale. We lived in old greenbelt in the co op. Super granola back there and everyone was really nice. We walked to the little shops and restaurants and the farmers market all the time. Very dog friendly as well, us and all of our neighbors had Atleast one pet. Plenty of kids running around, tons of green space, a huge park, nice pool, several churches, fire department, and police station. The co op is practically self contained. It’s also racially diverse, even tho the majority (60%+) of the people in old greenbelt are white, you have everything sprinkled in. Outside of the co op is mostly aa, African immigrant, Hispanic, and Asian.

Our house and location was good for a season (in and fresh out of grad school, just starting our careers). Didn’t have much money so we dealt with the crappy kitchen and one bathroom (with a pedestal sink). Getting a house with more than one bathroom is rare, but sometimes the 1970s ones go on sale or someone does an addition to the  1940s homes. They don’t stay on the market long. A SFH back there is a unicorn, if you see one.. buy it! Outside of the co op and Windsor green, don’t live by spring hill lake/franklin square apartments.

I wholeheartedly believe that greenbelt has the best location for any commute in MD to dc or Baltimore. You are right on 295 and 495, and there’s usually no traffic getting on those roads. Once you get closer to the city or Baltimore is when you hit traffic.

The schools are decent, the HS is great (I’m a graduate of ERHS). Greenbelt elementary and middle have made strides in the past few years, and the middle school is a feeder to ERHS.

If you didn’t feel like reading all this... greenbelt is great. [/quote]
