Prince George's County is set to enhance its appeal to students and residents alike with a new development plan that emphasizes accessibility and transit options. During a recent zoning hearing, officials discussed the proposed leasing aimed at the student population, highlighting the area's robust transportation infrastructure.
The proposed development is strategically located near multiple transit options, making it an ideal choice for students. Key transit points include the Center campus stop, located less than six-tenths of a mile from the student union, and a nearby hotel stop on Route 1, just four-tenths of a mile away. Additionally, the entrance to the University of Maryland metro stop is slightly over half a mile from the site, ensuring easy access for those traveling by foot or bike.
The area boasts a rich array of transit services, including campus circulators that connect not only to the University of Maryland but also extend into nearby neighborhoods like Hyattsville. Furthermore, multiple bus routes along US 1 provide convenient access to metro stations, enhancing mobility for residents, including older community members.
This development is seen as a fitting response to the needs of the local student population and the broader community, leveraging the existing transit infrastructure to promote sustainable living and accessibility. As plans move forward, the focus remains on creating a vibrant, transit-friendly environment that supports both current and future residents.
