An engaged community in Prince George's County
When a mother in Beltsville reached out to Rick Bergmann, volunteer News Director of The Beltsville News, because she couldn’t throw a birthday party for her son with autism while in COVID-19 isolation, Bergmann says, “I organized a parade of cars, firefighters, police officers, motorcycles to drive by his house on his birthday. I had his mom make a list of things he liked, and we put it out to our followers. People showed up with gifts for the little boy,” and one local teenager dressed up as Spiderman. In another instance, when the newspaper reported on a plan to remove career firefighters from the local department, neighbors called politicians and the fire chief’s office, putting enough public pressure to keep the Beltsville station fully staffed. In this town 15 miles north of Washington, D.C., Bergman says, locals advocate for one another. “Beltsville is a warm, friendly, caring and diverse community,” he explains.
The Beltsville Community Center is a hub of health, creativity, and connection.

Cape Cods, Colonial Revivals and condos
While there are some apartment buildings available for rent, many residents live on tree-lined residential streets. Condos from the 1960s cost between $140,000 and $220,000, while townhouses from the 1980s are priced between $350,000 and $425,000. Single-family homes from the mid-to-late 20th century appear in Cape Cod, ranch and Colonial Revival designs. Prices start at around $440,000 and rise to about $700,000.
Many varieties of homes styles are present in Beltsville.

A diverse array of local eateries
Beltsville has a mixture of chain restaurants and long-standing local favorites. Remington’s Bar and Grill, which has been in the community for decades, serves pub classics, like burgers, wings and beer, while sports matches play on the restaurant’s flat-screen TVs. Swahili Village offers African dishes, like jollof rice and whole fried fish. Sardi’s Pollo A La Brasa is a regional chain where residents order charbroiled Peruvian chicken with plantains and rice on the side. Costco and Aldi stock groceries and household essentials, and the Beltway Plaza Mall, which has retailers like Target and Burlington, is about 4 miles southeast of Beltsville. However, they don’t have to leave the neighborhood to shop for furniture or home décor, as Ikea is located in southern Beltsville.

Santa visits on a decorated fire truck
Beltsville used to have a small annual carnival, complete with food trucks, music and games, but it went away with Covid. The event, in a smaller capacity, is returning on June 9, 2024, and the community hopes it will grow again. In August, the community gets to know the first responders that serve the area at the National Night Out at the Beltsville Library, which is complete with free food. “Our volunteer fire department does a lot in the community,” Bergmann says. There’s usually a breakfast or lunch with Santa or the Easter Bunny to celebrate the holidays and an open house for residents to learn about the fire station. A community favorite is the Santa Tour, where Santa waves to kids from a decorated fire truck. “Every year, around November, we get tons of emails and messages asking when the schedule for Santa's visit is coming out so they can make sure they are home or that they invite their nieces and nephews or grandkids over on the right day. I think people get more excited for that visit than almost anything else,” Bergmann says.
Nature strolls on the Little Paint Branch Trail
Locals meet for pickup basketball games or tennis matches at Beltsville North Park, which also has a shaded playground. Little Paint Branch Park is the largest in the neighborhood, featuring wooded trails for biking or walking that wind parallel to the Little Paint Branch Creek. It also hosts the Beltsville Community Center, which has baseball diamonds and after school programs. Residents can go to the center to try out yoga or Zumba, enroll in martial arts classes, work out at the gym or get creative in the ceramics room.

Commuting to D.C.
“The federal facilities provide a strong employment base,” says Karen Coakley, a Realtor with Cummings and Company Realtors who has served the community for 42 years. “Also, we’re right at the part where Interstate 95 and Interstate 495 merge. So, it’s easy to commute to all parts of the D.C., Maryland and Virginia metropolitan area.” Buses operated by Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority line thoroughfares like Baltimore Avenue and Powder Mill Road, but stops are often at least a mile away from residents, making them fairly car-dependent. Residents can drive about 3 miles south to park in the Greenbelt commuter lot, before boarding a train operated by the Maryland Area Rail Commuter, or MARC, toward Washington, D.C. If they opt to drive, they can merge onto the Capital Beltway to drive 16 miles southwest to downtown D.C.
Local lore and federal employment opportunities
The Beltsville Agriculture Research Center has been a fixture in southern Beltsville since 1910. The USDA-run facility stretches over 6,000 acres and performs honeybee research and cattle health studies. According to local lore, it’s also a possible creation site of Prince George’s mythical menace, the Goatman — a faun-like creature rumored to have roamed the region. There’s also a large commercial presence in the area, with Amazon warehouses and shipping services offering further employment opportunities. Many commute toward the nation’s capital by rail or car as well.
