508 Apartments for Rent

Looking to be famous one day? Maybe spend some time spitting rhymes in Largo, MD, home to such notable rappers as Wale Folarin and Oddisee.

Largo isn't technically a city. It's actually considered a census designated place (CDP) located in Prince George's County, Maryland. At the last census, Largo showed a pretty respectable population of a little over 10,000 residents. Its location offers a huge benefit, because even though it's a smaller area on its own, Largo is located a little over a half hour from the nation's capital.

Largo Neighborhoods

Since Largo isn't really a city, it doesn't have any true neighborhoods. In fact, it doesn't even have its own post office designation. Since it only covers about three square miles, you can think of all of Largo as your neighborhood, and enjoy one heck of a block party no matter the location of your new rental home.

Living Large in Largo

Worried there isn't much to do in Largo? Don't stress, that couldn't be further from the truth. Sure, the area may be small, but it's packed with fun things to do every time of day, every day. And if you ever get bored of the condensed fun-packed times in Largo, you can hop on the Amtrak and head anywhere your heart desires. Whatever you do, just don't mistake Largo for an area that is quiet, laid back, and boring. People find Largo to be a great place to live and a little bit of a gem because it doesn't have the big-city flair, but it is still close enough to other cities and all the action they have to offer.

For example, one of the hottest places to hang out in Largo is on the Boulevard. It's a hub for shoppers, where you can find everything from a pair of cool shoes at one of the shoe stores to the latest styles and funky fashions. For something a little different, check out the latest movie at the Magic Johnson, part of the famous basketball player's chain of theaters. Don't expect to be good at basketball afterward, though.

This spot is also home to tons of popular restaurants, and on Friday nights during the summer, a car show is held on the Boulevard. It's a great general hangout for people of all ages. Entertainment, recreation, fine dining, and professional sports venues are all available within a short drive, too.

Largo is also full of amazing restaurants to make your stomach happy. The Uno Chicago Grill is a great place to go if you find yourself looking for that perfect slice of non-East-Coast pizza (sorry, New Yorkers). This place has everything from mouth-watering deep dish to unique gourmet pizzas and flatbreads.

Got a ton of old Coke cans to get rid of? Six Flags America Amusement Park is located to the east of Largo in nearby Mitchellville. It's the best amusement park in the state, and you can enjoy a water park and roller coasters, like the 21-story Superman.

If you're a football fan, the Washington Redskins' football stadium, FedExField, is located across the Capital Beltway in Summerfield. The stadium is pretty new and boasts a great concession area and even a couple of fun bars popular with fans.
