Located about 13 miles northeast of Washington, DC, Mitchellville is a suburban community in Prince George’s County. Mitchellville is largely residential, providing residents with a variety of houses, townhomes, and apartments available for rent along tranquil, tree-lined streets.

Mitchellville offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy the scenic environment with convenience to outdoor destinations like Watkins Regional Park, Enterprise Golf Course, and Whitemarsh Park. The community is also adjacent to area attractions like Six Flags America and FedEx Field.

Although Mitchellville is mostly residential, there are numerous commercial offerings in the northern portion of the community along Martin Luther King Jr. Highway and in the southern reaches of the community on Central Avenue. Mitchellville is popular with many commuters due to its quick access to major employers in Annapolis, Silver Spring, and Washington, DC.

It's a small quiet town where you can walk your dog at night with out worry. There is, however, no public transportation

I like Mitchellville because the neighbors are very friendly. The neighborhood is quiet as far as no crime activities. You can ride your bike and play at the playground with the other kids in the neighborhood.

A lot of people of color who are doing well personally and professionally. I have been surrounded by great role models. I went to a wonderful elementary school. My middle school was just okay. I would like to see improvements in our middle school and high school.
