Discover the Community Spirit of Greenbelt
Greenbelt, in northern Prince George’s County, offers a lifestyle rooted in connection, nature, and history. Just minutes from Washington DC, this town blends small-town charm with thoughtful urban design.
A Town Built on Vision and Community
Greenbelt began in the 1930s as a bold experiment. Planners designed it as a “Green Town” that centered around walkability, cooperation, and access to green space. Today, Old Greenbelt still reflects that vision. Its co-op homes, pedestrian paths, and shared courtyards create a strong neighborhood feel.
At the heart of town, the Roosevelt Center brings people together. Local businesses, a theater, and the Greenbelt Arts Center sit side by side, making it easy for residents to shop, gather, and connect.
Surrounding neighborhoods, including Greenbelt East, add a mix of newer homes and townhouses. The housing choices suit everyone from first-time buyers to long-time residents.
Nearby communities like College Park, Berwyn Heights, and Lanham help shape the area’s lively and connected atmosphere.
Green Living Comes Naturally
Greenbelt takes pride in its parks and open spaces. Greenbelt Park, a National Park Service site, offers hiking trails, picnic spots, and a peaceful place to unwind. Other local parks and trails make nature part of daily life. Many streets are lined with trees, and paths wind through wooded areas, keeping the town close to nature.
The city supports local efforts to protect the environment. Residents often get involved with green projects and community gardens, keeping that original New Deal spirit alive.
A City That Stays Connected
Greenbelt’s location makes it ideal for commuters. The Greenbelt Metro Station links the community to the Green and Yellow lines, along with MARC train service. Quick access to I-495, I-95, and the Baltimore-Washington Parkway keeps travel to nearby cities simple and direct.
Rooted, Welcoming, and Forward-Thinking
Greenbelt values inclusion, self-governance, and civic pride. Its mix of history, nature, and modern access makes it one of Prince George’s County’s most distinctive places to live.
