College Park is One of the Best Washington D.C. Suburbs
Why is College Park, MD, one of the best D.C. suburbs?
All of this makes it attractive for young professionals. Business Insider named College Park the fourth best college town to start your career, and its location — just across the Maryland border but still inside the Capital Beltway — is primo. You’re less than 10 miles from D.C., with two metro stations on the Green Line and a stop planned on the future Purple Line. Plus, there’s the MARC train to both Baltimore and the capital.
In their free time, residents can visit the aviation museum at the oldest operating airfield in the world, go birding or fishing at Artemisia and enjoy UMD’s vibrant art scene, encompassing dance, theater and African-American visual arts. College Park’s free concert series every summer is especially great for families, featuring kid-friendly crafts, entertainers and a bounce house.
