Mount Rainier
Welcome to Mount Rainier, Prince George’s County
Mount Rainier sits at the edge of Prince George’s County, just across the border from Washington DC. This lively, creative town blends early 20th-century charm with a strong arts culture and a close-knit, engaged community.
Art and Identity in a Historic Setting
The town grew as a streetcar suburb in the early 1900s. Many homes still reflect that history, with Craftsman bungalows, Victorian houses, and front porches that invite conversation. The Mount Rainier Historic District helps preserve that character and creates a timeless neighborhood feel.
Mount Rainier draws artists, musicians, and community-minded residents. It’s part of the Gateway Arts District, a stretch of Route 1 known for studios, galleries, murals, and public art. Events like art walks, street fairs, and live music bring neighbors together and support a creative local economy.
Walkable, Connected, and Community-Focused

Mount Rainier connects easily to nearby areas like Hyattsville, Brentwood, and College Park. It’s served by several Metrobus lines and sits near the West Hyattsville and Rhode Island Avenue Metro stations. These links make commutes into DC, Montgomery County, or other parts of the region simple.
Green Spaces and Civic Pride
The city offers plenty of parks and open space. Mount Rainier Nature and Recreation Center anchors community life with sports fields, playgrounds, and youth programs. Local leaders and residents take pride in their shared spaces and regularly come together for cleanups, festivals, and public forums.
