Welcome to College Park, MD

College Park is located in Prince George’s County. It is predominantly known as the site of the 1,250-acre campus of the University of Maryland. But College Park real estate is also home to a number of thriving businesses and establishments that pre-date its incorporation in 1945. These include the College Park Airport, known as the Cradle of Aviation,” and the colonial-era Rossborough Inn and Old Parish House.

College Park’s 25,000 residents are divided among a wide selection of established neighborhoods, such as Calvert Hills, Old Town, Sunnyside, Lakeland, and Daniels Park. Accessibility is provided by the city’s College Park—U of MD station on Metro’s green line. This makes Washington, D.C. within easy commuting distance, only adding to the appeal of College Park real estate among business professionals.

College Park real estate has undergone considerable growth since 2002, ranging from new condominium complexes to several mixed-use projects along Route 1, a north-south thoroughfare that serves as the city’s downtown corridor. This boom in local amenities has increased the desirability of College Park real estate among families, who already enjoy the city’s four elementary schools, three middle schools, and four high schools.
