One of the three “green” towns planned in Maryland in 1935. Take that, San Francisco!
Greenbelt is a city in Prince George’s County, Maryland with a population of around 23,070. It’s known as being a public cooperative community that was founded in the New Deal Era. What does this mean, you ask? Basically, that the government would create a self-sufficient community that would operate in an ideal fashion – a utopia of sorts. It set out to help improve lives by having people cooperate with each other and help to ensure everyone had housing and work. The documentary “The City” filmed in 1939 is all about Greenbelt and the idea of this cooperative community.

Moving to Greenbelt
You can find rental apartments and houses for sale, but it’s best to plan a little extra time to look around because people are coming to the area in droves. For that reason it's also a good idea to make sure you have copies of all your necessary paperwork to provide for your landlord or broker in the event you find a hidden gem right away. This includes Identification, proof of income, credit reports, references, bank statements, records for any pets you might have. Units are in such high demand here that you might find yourself in a bidding war, so be prepared to offer a little bit on top of the asking price if you're able to do so.

“When I first moved in certain things were not ready. It took maintenance a long time to complete it. Anytime I put in a ticket it took too long for it to be completed. Every few days you have to go and get visitor parking pass that’s annoying and can be inconvenient.”
