Hyattsville is overall a pretty good! My neighborhood is actually very calm, rarely hear of crime things going on. Some triunfa are improving in my neighborhoods because recently, 3 years ago they build a new high school which was very much needed. The only thing I think need more improving is that most of fast food restaurants here are not healthy at all! We should incorporate healthier food restaurants so our community live a healthier life. All you see around is McDonald’s, Popeyes, and Chinese Carryout’s. Another thing is that most of the business that are located here are NOT own by people that necessarily live here which I don’t see as a great thing. Hyattsville is not the worst place in the world but it does need improving!
I moved to Hyattsville the summer before 9/11. I moved here to be close to my job teaching in Silver Spring MD, MCPS. MC was far too expensive and Hyattsville is only 6 mile drive to my school. When I moved there was only one restaurant besides fast food-Franklins. It was great, and still is but now there are many more places to eat from Ethiopian to Dominican and chains such as Outback and Olive Garden as well. The Mall at PG also has many places to eat from Meza to McDonalds. Area is very pet and family friendly. It is a very diverse community and you can speak and hear most languages from around the world here. Lastly, although prices have gone up greatly, it's still affordable and safe. It has its own police department that does a great job. There's an annual parade and many things to do in and around Hyattsville. Anything you're looking for can be found here or right next door in D.C. or half hour drive away in Baltimore.
We have been living in Hyattsville for over 7 years now, we came just as the area was recovering from the recession. The area has since developed very quickly. The best part about Hyattsville is that it is a hybrid of a suburb and urban area: lots of restaurants and breweries/distilleries, it's easy to walk everywhere --sidewalks are along virtually every street, lots of public transportation (2 metro stations and a MARC station), and its about a mile from the DC border. It feels pretty safe, safer than the gentrified areas of DC. The area used to be affordable, home values have recently skyrocketed. One big negative is the power that PG County has over the city, which makes it's easy to get stuck in the bureaucratic hurdles posed by the county (such as permits). However, city leadership is great, and they try to overcome the county's barriers.
