College Park - more than a College Town 4 rating By Anonymous ( May 14, 2018) College Park, Maryland is known for the sprawling campus of the University of Maryland, hence the name.

There's plenty of reasonably priced housing for students and other residents throughout the town. Living in College Park gives you the benefits of a metropolitan area without the drawbacks, like a high crime rate. Shopping malls, theatres, and great restaurants abound in the town and neighboring Hyattsville, where an arts district is located. Suburbia is all around for those that prefer peace and quiet.
