College Park in Prince George’s County MD has been ranked as the best place in Maryland for middle-class families. More importantly, it’s been rated as one of the best places to raise kids. College Park MD does have it all. Education is important to parents and College Park is well serviced with schools from elementary to college all close by.

Although education is important, it is the out-of-school hours facilities that make College Park special for the whole family. There are miles of biking, hiking, and running trails, all well-lit and all paved.  The Metro station means the District is close by with all its theaters, zoos, parks, and museums – all family friendly.

For the smart buyer, College Park real estate is still competitively priced and there are still bargains to be found if you’re prepared to look closely. When considering where to buy, families need to look at an area in its entirety. What schools are there, and what out-of-school-hours activities are there? College Park does tick all the boxes when it comes to looking after the needs of families.

Ashfield has been rated as the top family friendly place to live in Virginia. It too has a lot to offer families, and the real estate market there is even more family friendly.

Do ratings such as these server a useful purpose? We think they do. They help buyers identify areas that may be better suited to their needs. For example, if you’re an elderly couple looking for a quiet retirement, a family friendly environment may be the last thing you really want – then again, the sound of families having fun may be just what you want.
