Colmar Manor, MD

Colmar Manor is a small, close-knit town in Prince George's County sitting right along the Anacostia River on the border of Washington, D.C. The name comes from combining "Columbia" and "Maryland," which makes sense given its spot right next to the capital. Home to around 1,600 people, the neighborhood offers a peaceful setting just minutes from the city. Residents can easily enjoy the outdoors at Colmar Manor Community Park, where waterfront trails, playing fields, and community gardens connect directly into the broader Anacostia trail system.
