Hillcrest / Skyland
SE
OVERVIEW
NESTLED BETWEEN TWO REGIONAL COMMUTER ROUTES, Hillcrest/Skyland’s easy access to Suitland Parkway and Pennsylvania Avenue is a hidden gem. Residents can take the bus, train, car,
and bike travel to work options and have created a neighborhood- scale enclave around Skyland Town Center. With next phases of development scheduled for grand opening in the next few years, new development opportunities here will not remain a secret much longer.
