Prince George's County is a very nice neighborhood with public schools that are safe, educational, and care about the future of the students. Mostly a very family friendly neighborhood with from my experience very few problems and not any major problems. This county also has a huge diversity with all different types of people from all over the world from Asia, Africa, South America, etc. This helps everyone to learn about different cultures and helps to be open-minded which in turn helps makes us more caring about others and willing to help. Most everything that is needed is very close by so the commuting time is very low and makes daily living a lot easier. There are job opportunities all around or in close proximity and living is fairly affordable and reasonable. Overall living in Prince George's County thus far has been great with not many problems and like any place can always keep on improving but fairly a safe neighborhood.
I love that Prince George's County is a diverse community with a vibrant culture and plenty of exciting things to do. It's a great place to live and work, with easy access to Washington, D.C., and many other cities in the area. I would like to see more affordable housing options and better access to public transportation, as well as more job opportunities. Additionally, I would like to see increased investment in public safety, education, and infrastructure.
I’m born and raised and I’ve always appreciated my area, however, after growing up, I’m now seeing that many things need to be improved. Schools and access to shopping/restaurants/businesses for one. We shouldn’t have the same 3 restaurants in every shopping center. I shouldn’t have to leave the county for everything. Housing and taxes are too high to justify the lack of resources here. Our money definitely doesn’t go to the schools.
