"Located in DC and MD"

Takoma Park is a funky, walkable, in-transition area with lots of green spaces and social/environmental consciousness.The Metro station is on the border of DC and Maryland so wherever you are, you shouldn't be too far away from the station. Half of Takoma Park is located in Maryland and the other half is in DC. Both the DC and MD sides of Takoma Park contain attractive residential areas with tree-lined streets. The houses in the City of Takoma Park, MD, are slightly larger and more secluded than the houses in the DC neighborhood of Takoma Park. Residents take pride in their more artistic, funky personalities!
