Get to know Hyattsville

Find Hyattsville doing its own thing a stone’s throw across the divider between northeastern Washington, D.C., and Prince George’s County, Maryland. Hyattsville wields historicity and modernity in equal measure. Its houses — including those in a national historic district — are living landmarks of turn-of-the-20th-century architectural styles. Dynamic murals are abundant as one navigates the extremely pedestrian-friendly downtown Hyattsville. “Trendy” is a term that might come to mind as one moves from sipping a roastery-brewed coffee to browsing the stacks at a used bookstore to grabbing a craft beer or spirit to sitting down for dinner in a converted hardware store. However, one gets the sense around town that Hyattsville is more than a trend — it’s here to stay. Meanwhile, Green Line service on the Washington Metro, plus MARC trains, make bouncing to D.C. and back a cinch.

Living in the Washington Metropolitan Area

The Washington Metropolitan Area starts with the District of Columbia proper and radiates out to the inner suburbs of Virginia and Maryland and stretches all the way to the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia. Colloquially, many locals refer to the region as the DMV, an abbreviation for D.C., Maryland, and Virginia, but will often just say they live in D.C. when they technically have an address in one of the states. Each town has its own specific atmosphere and residents — even the newly transplanted — often display fierce loyalty to their own suburb of choice. Generally, towns that are closer to D.C., especially those inside the Beltway, have more access to public transportation and more pedestrian-friendly downtowns, while towns on the far reaches of the metropolitan area like Charles Town, West Virginia, will have a more rural feel and fewer daily commuters to D.C. and its immediate environs.
