Old Town
What it’s like to live in Old Town
Historic ambiance characterizes Old Town College Park, where distinctive architecture creates traditional neighborhood environments unusual within typically development-focused Washington suburban communities. The district sits walking distance to University of Maryland campus facilities while maintaining separate identity from undergraduate-dominated areas. For academic professionals seeking separation between educational environments and personal living spaces, Old Town offers College Park's ideal combination of university proximity, historical character, and residential tranquility increasingly difficult to achieve without substantial financial compromises across the competitive DC metropolitan rental market.
