Tucked just inside the Capital Beltway in Prince George’s County, District Heights sits roughly seven miles southeast of Washington, D.C., offering a quieter, tree-lined alternative to city living without straying far from the action. Daily errands are straightforward thanks to Penn Mar Shopping Center, a long-established retail hub anchored by familiar names alongside local shops, and Marlboro Pike keeps dining options plentiful, from fresh Maryland seafood to comfort-food staples. FedExField, home to Washington’s NFL team, is only about three miles north, making game days a short drive away.
The rental landscape here leans toward garden-style apartment communities and townhomes, giving renters more breathing room than you’d typically find closer to the District. Spacious floor plans are common, and the overall pace feels grounded and residential. Originally carved from farmland granted under Lord Baltimore’s colonial charters, District Heights was formally incorporated in the mid-20th century and carries a deep sense of place that still shapes the close-knit character of the community today.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
