[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curious why UP is so white?  Is there something historically that made that particular area not welcoming to non-whites?[/quote]

Yes, it’s predominantly white, but I’m not white and my neighbor across the street is also not white.  I think that it’s predominantly white because it has always been one of the nicer neighborhoods in PGC. My spouse grew up in the neighborhood and went to the local publics. The UP kids were considered “the rich kids” in middle and HS.[/quote]

I also think that there much greater diversity in the younger families.  I don't think I know of any resident who is 55+ that isn't white, but I know several families of color with children under 10.  UP is definitely less diverse than some surrounding areas though.

There is definitely a price premium for UP v.s. University Hills (the Hyattsville neighborhood across Adelphi Road) or Hyattsville proper (the part of Hyattsville between South of 410, between Queens Chapel and Route 1).  Though some of that is also just differences in housing stock.  I think Calvert Hills is fairly comparable on price.[/quote]
