Hyattsville gives you a good reason to look past the front garden and study the house. Its historic district includes Victorian buildings, Colonial Revivals, Sears homes, and Arts and Crafts influences—a remarkably varied architectural conversation. Incorporated in 1886, the city continues to add new chapters through the Gateway Arts District, public art, and the businesses of the Route 1 corridor. Here, an appreciation for older buildings can sit comfortably alongside a taste for something new.
Homes & everyday living
Historic detached houses and newer Arts District townhomes offer distinctly different ways to live. Compare stairs, outdoor space, maintenance, and proximity to the destinations you use most. Also check the municipal boundary: a Hyattsville postal address does not always place a property inside the city.
While you’re here
Take an architectural stroll through the historic district, look for public art, and explore the shops and dining along Route 1. The city’s historic-house tour is another way to get beyond the front façade when it is scheduled.
Why live here
For architectural variety with a creative local life around it. Hyattsville is worth exploring when you want a home with individual character and a neighborhood that offers more than a route to somewhere else.
