Mount Rainier was featured in the Washington Post today, September 1, as a great place to live.

As part of a series called “what I love about my home,” Mount Rainier graphic designer Torie Partridge wrote about her historic Victorian-style home built in 1907 and why she loves the community around it.

Partridge, who is founder of the firm Terratorie Maps & Goods and designs popular neighborhood maps of the greater D.C. area, including several towns and cities on the Route 1 corridor, said she wanted to live in a walkable area with a lot of amenities, while her husband wanted a traditional house with a yard.

We found the perfect compromise in Mount Rainier, where our quiet street can feel like it’s a million miles away from anything, but we’re actually only a few short blocks to Glut Food Co-op, Pennyroyal Station, Joe’s Movement Emporium and everything that the growing downtown of our neighborhood has to offer.

Partridge told the Hyattsville Wire she fell in love with Mount Rainier because of its a community full of artists and musicians with a strong focus sustainability, affordability, diversity, collaboration and slow, intentional growth. She said it was exactly the kind of place she wanted to call home.

Earlier this summer, the Post also featured Riverdale Park, highlighting its affordability and its diversity.
