What is the most dangerous city in PG county (Baltimore: transplants, crime rate)

[lscalder]

Pg county elementary schools varies on the areas you live. I compared the schools my son will attend in the next 2yrs to some of Montgomery county schools and the Pg county public school surpass majority of Montgomery county school.

Here is the name of the Pg county school my son will attend: Mattaponi Elementary in Upper Marlboro. When I compared it to Olney elementary school it seemed to me the kids at Olney Elementary was learning nothing. Mattaponi Elementary blow them out the water. I just want folks to see it depends on the area to live which is the same for all schools in Maryland.

lscalder, I agree about the schools in PG. My son was in PG county schools from K to 9th. In 10th he moved to Carroll County with his father and was well advanced compared to other 10th graders. PG county apparently has a much more diverse, advanced, and fast moving learning pace than other counties. Unfortunately, he went to live with his father because of the High School he was attending in PG. Too much chaos, no discipline, and an uncaring administration. But those elementary and middle school years really paid off. My daughter also benefited from PG county schools and she currently attends Roosevelt in the Science and Tech program. She loves that school, best in PG.

Well i live on the edge of the beltway in an odd bowie-mitchellvile-lanham type of area so im confused about the whole insisde outside beltway thing. But personally i believe that Bowie, Suitland, Mitchellville, college park,upper marlboro, Largo, Cheverly, Bladensburg, SOME parts of Landover, and Laurel.

Never more to area that sound like a nice place to live in PG county because its usually the exact opposite i.e. Palmer Park, Seat Pleasent

Let me give you some advice about bad area's. Bad areas don't have Malls, Grocery Store Chains, office buildings or samll business parks. All thee above are plentiful in Suitland-Forestville.

In Suitland the county is spending a lot of money right now to develope the area. You can try Metro place in Suitland which is brand new large community development which consist of shopping centers,Single family homes,Town homes, Condos and Apartments.

you can research it online type Metro Place in Suitland and you should find it.

No Forestville and Suitland are VERY VERY intensely ghettto. You will probably get shot or at least jumped if you go there. This does not sound PC and take it with a grain of salt but this will definitely happen if you are white or Asian, and if you are black or Hispanic it depends on the colors you are wearing and the angle your cap is tilted.

But the absolute most dangerous part of PGC I would say is Langley Park, the local base for MS-13, the most dangerous gang in the country. This gang consists of illegal Salvadoran immigrants and was started in a prison in Los Angeles, then went to El Salvador when they were deported and came back to the U.S. via illegal immigrants. Their signature is using machetes to cut people's hands off. They are involved in dozens of shootings and gang wars. Langley Park is almost 100% illegals and looks and feels like a Mexican border town.

A guy I worked with last summer has been to Mexico City on business and says Langley Park actually looks more messed up. Langley Park is like Tijuana. Nobody speaks English and its filled with pawn shops, sketchy bowling alleys and the like. Sketchy looking people are always loitering around 7-Elevens and gas stations and there is always broken glass and graffiti everywhere.

Okay, I've heard Accokeek and Upper Marlboro are okay places in PG County. College Park is good too though you may have to deal with drunken students, but the University is the only reason that CP is not overrun with illegals and thugs like Greenbelt and Langley Park so local residents shold be thankful. Berwyn is similar to College Park with a large student populatoin. However criminals from other parts of PGC and from Washington, D.C. go there to rob people. They especially target students because most students come from suburban and rural areas outside of PG County and are not tough and cannot defend themselves the way a dude raised on "da streetz" probably can.

What does your girlfriend want in PG County anyway? IT is cheaper than surrounding areas like Montgomery and Howard and Anne Arundel for a reason. For a similar price, you can live in Frederick or Charles or Calvert in a much safer area with less traffic and crime and much bigger house. If you want the PG County feel, try Silver Spring, in Montgomery County, which is on the PG County border but is much safer and has less poverty. Also PGC has some of the worst public schools in the state, the police are underfunded and public services are sorely lacking, at least compared to surrounding areas.

On a recent trip back to the D.C. area I went around the county. Is living outside the beltway all that great? Yes the homes are newer but all I found were endless housing developements, strip malls and tons of traffic. Absolutely no people walking. What is public transportation like in these areas? I think once you leave the area and live somewhere else and come back to visit you really do see what PG lacks. Isn't there more to a community than sprawly endless housing developements, worthless strip malls and endless traffic?

Still giving out advice to area's you never visited? Greenbelt is dangerous? Since when?? Don't you have to actually get out of the car and visit an area before you anoint it ghetto, actually talk to the people on some level to get a feel of attitudes and whats going on?? Didn't you say College Park was ghetto and dangerous in other posts? How did it move up in the standings so soon?

MS-13 is in the area due to construction industry and drug trade in DC/Va. It was formed in EL Salvador by ex paramilitary members who migrated to the U.S. in search of work and better life. When they got to the U.S., the Mexican gangs/community treated them like crap so they got more aggressive to survive.

Zippy, have you looked at Beltway Plaza Mall in Greenbelt and the people who go there besides UMD students? Many of my friends in school who went to the Giant there say they always go in groups because they are nervous of being jumped and because the area looks so sketchy. It is filled with ghetto people and illegals.
