Hyattsville Apartments for Rent

Hyatt Never Saw it Coming

Located just a mile outside Washington, D.C., Hyattsville, Maryland (founded in 1845 by Christopher Hyatt) is the perfect place to live, work, and play, whether or not you're sizing up property at the White House. The city of nearly 20,000 people has been well organized, divided up into manageable neighborhoods that allow apartment renters to walk or bike to work, school, or the store, safely and quickly. The layout of the city also fosters personal connections between the residents of Hyattsville, who frequently get together to celebrate holidays and special events year-round. The cultural diversity of area can't be beat, either, giving renters plenty of different culinary, artistic, and performance venues to explore. If you'd like to learn more about life in Hyattsville, the city's current residents would be happy to tell you more about life in this Smart Town.

Affordability On the Capitol's Front Porch

Apartment prices in Hyattsville can vary a bit depending on what neighborhood a complex is in and what amenities it has to offer. Though there are a handful of units that come with startling price tags, most apartments in town are more than reasonable. Renters in this city will also be able to enjoy saving money on electricity and gas (since green energy and transportation is one of the highest priorities of the town), making the apartments in the area worth even more than a first glance might suggest.

The Smart Choice

Many cities and towns in the country have succumbed to a sickness known as suburban sprawl. Shopping centers multiply like viruses across the landscape, necessitating miles and miles of driving just to hit up the grocery store, the pet store, and the clothing store on the same trip. In Smart Cities such as Hyattsville, however, unchecked cancerous growth is replaced by smart, thoughtful development. Apartment renters don't need to drive forever to get their errands done: they can hop on their bikes and take care of business from one centralized location. Kids aren't bused to massive schools an hour from their homes; they can walk to small, local schools that emphasize community and connection. As the population of the country and the planet grows, city planners will be looking to model smart cities like Hyattsville that balance urban life with a good use of available land. As a bonus, renters in town can avoid the rush hour traffic by riding the bus, train or metro to work, or, if they work in town, they can ride their bikes to work along the city's many safe bike trails.

A Capital Idea

Hyattsville is a small, well-planned community mere mile from the nation's capital. Apartment renters can dine, shop, and play in town or head into the capital for even more entertainment options. Best of all, Washington, D.C. offers tons of free entertainment throughout the year so renters don't have to break the bank to have a good time. A number of theaters offer free performances certain days of the week, many of which are family-friendly. Museums throughout town give residents and visitors a chance to get up close and personal with art and history free of charge. And, of course, there are the national monuments that help residents explore the nation's political history, and live political events that allow residents to become a part of the nation's future.

Where Else?

Any way you look at it, Hyattsville is a good place to live. Apartment renters can pick out their favorite neighborhood and get to know the neighbors who make it easy to feel welcomed in this city. City planning has always been important in Hyattsville, and neighborhoods have been broken up so that it's easier for residents to have real relationships with one another. Residential areas are set off from main roads, which helps keep apartment complexes quiet and peaceful as well as safe for kids. Renters who have kids already, or who may within the next few years, can also take advantage of great schools from kindergarten through high school. The colleges around town also give adults the opportunity to advance their education and their careers, and the prestigious University of Maryland is just down the road.
