"There's a girl in the heart of Maryland / With the heart that belongs to me. / When I told her of my love / The oriole above sang from the old apple tree. / And Maryland was merry and she promised. / My bride to be." "There's a Girl in Maryland" by Steven Goodman

Hillandale, Maryland, a small suburb of Silver Spring, is about as suburban as it gets. Just a quick ride from Washington D.C. (and the larger Silver Spring), Hillandale itself is a nice little commuter town. There are parks, restaurants, and some shops, but anyone thinking of moving here should be looking for a calm life that's about getting away, (while you're not at work) and play.

If you want to find a rental apt in Hillandale, the first step is to prepare your rental application. This way you can secure an apartment you want as soon as you see it! Some things you'll need to include in an application for an apartment to rent are bank statements, pay stubs, tax returns, proof of income, a letter of employment, and more.
