Takoma Park

Map 26

The surfeit of aging activists, neo-hippies, and left-leaning yuppies has earned this town the nickname “The People’s Republic of Takoma Park.” Proletariat they are not, however. Residents enjoy all the benefits of suburban living: big houses, fancy lattes, locally grown produce. But don’t get too cynical—Takoma Park is fiercely loyal to local businesses and has successfully resisted development and corporate “revitalization.”
