[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, if you are still reading this here are my two cents.

I am an Asian women, married to another Asian man.  We have lived in PG County since 2010, we are leaving as our older of two children is starting KG and we are zoned to Hyattsville Elementary.  We have our children in local daycare (they are plenty of affordable and impressive options in the county), we applied to the Friends School and turned down a slot.  Since we both work in the city, neither of us wanted to commit to driving there til our children finish the 8th grade, and high school options are limited (Roosevelt is really the only public option.  We were not interested in St. Jeromes (many ppl will point out this is an affordable option).  Tution at the Friends school is $19,500K for KG.

[b]We have never made any friends in Hyattsville, white ppl stick to themselves, same goes for other minorities.  [/b][u]Ppl are very granola, it can get annoying, esp bc I learned granola and friendly don't go hand in hand in Hyattsville.

I love the walkability, I feel safe (we have an alarm system), but yes we see sketchy things all the time. [b] You can't get packages delivered to your door, there is HUGE theft issue. [/b] I was at the Shoppers at Bladendburg last weekend with my 5 year old and I saw a man day drinking in his car.

There are also a lot of white ppl who look like stereotypical Trump supporters somewhere in the South (I personally find them a little scary as well).

Hyattsville and other parts of PG County seem super tempting, lower prices homes, easy access to the DC, but at the end of the day the taxes are super high and you have terrible schools.  It's not worth the trade off, and once you are actually in the position to decide on private schools or moving, the math for us worked out to move.

Okay, packages getting stolen from porches happens in my fancy Dupont Circle neighborhood a lot and so does day drinking and "scary" white people. [/quote]
