Suitland the Headquarters of Census Bureau 4 rating By Anonymous ( May 10, 2018) My wife and I and our five kids have been living in Suitland for 4 years and have loved the friendly Neighbors and historical dynamics of this unique small town in Maryland. Suitland is the headquarters of the United States Census Bureau and provides the community with employment ...Read More opportunities that are unique to this small town. Suitland is known for its historic cemeteries from early American history. Also, the city has lots of recreational parks that my family loves to have a grill out and share great times with r Neighbors. They’re also lots of opportunities for kids to play and enjoy above-average schools within Suitland.

There are ample movie theaters Parks malls and restaurants to keep our family of 6 happy with the amenities of this city that are comparable to larger urban communities. The Bradbury Heights Recreation Center and William Beanes Community Center are great places for kids to play with other kids and enjoy Park amenities. One of the best areas in Suitland is around DuPont Heights Neighborhood Park. If you're looking to relocate to the outskirts of Washington DC Suitland would be a great place to live. Read Less
