New Carrollton, MD

New Carrollton is a city in central Prince George's County, served by Prince George's County Public Schools. Its development traces in part to land acquired from the former estate of horse-racing figure Edward L. Mahoney, and the city grew into a practical Washington-area suburb. New Carrollton is especially important as a transportation node, with rail, Metro, bus, and highway connections nearby. The place feels less like an old downtown and more like a compact commuter city built around access.
