Three Green Line Stations Cover Most of Inner Prince George's County's Senior Care Market

College Park-U of Md, West Hyattsville, and Prince George's Plaza give this corridor a direct, no-transfer line into downtown DC.

College Park and Hyattsville sit close enough together, and share enough of the same Green Line corridor, that families frequently compare communities across both cities in a single search. Three stations - College Park-U of Md, West Hyattsville, and Prince George's Plaza (also signed as Hyattsville Crossing) - cover most of the relevant ground.

College Park's station

College Park-U of Md sits at the edge of the University of Maryland campus, convenient for families who split time between a student's schedule and a parent's care nearby - a genuinely distinct dynamic compared to most of this metro's other senior-care markets.

Hyattsville's two stations

West Hyattsville and Prince George's Plaza bracket the city's Old Town and Route 1 corridor, both offering direct Green Line access into downtown DC without a transfer.

The Yellow Line addition

Since December 2025, every other Yellow Line train also runs this stretch on its way to or from Greenbelt, which can mean more frequent combined service than the Green Line schedule alone suggests - worth checking current WMATA service patterns if timing a specific trip.

Why this pairing, not two separate pages

Because College Park and Hyattsville share both a jurisdiction (Prince George's County) and this same Green Line corridor, families comparing the two are usually making a genuinely apples-to-apples decision - this page treats them together for exactly that reason.
