Suburban Commuter Affordable Public Transportation

Fourteen miles east of Washington, D.C. is where you’ll find Mitchellville, an idyllic Maryland suburb that’s popular with families and commuters who work on and around the Hill. Mitchellville rests on the eastern side of Interstate 495, so commuters will have no problem accessing the surrounding Maryland cities and D.C. Long-standing homes in a variety of styles adorn the rich tree-lined streets of Mitchellville, and there’s a small number of restaurants and shops in the northern region of the neighborhood.

Mitchellville residents enjoy easy access to surrounding green spaces and parks such as Watkins Regional Park and Globecom Wildlife Management Area. With Lake Arbor to the west and Alexandria easily accessible via the interstate, a Mitchellville apartment makes for a perfect springboard into the rest of the D.C. area.
