Langley Park is an unincorporated area and census-designated place (CDP) in Prince George's County, Maryland. It is located inside the Capital Beltway, on the northwest edge of Prince George's County, bordering Montgomery County, Maryland. As of the 2010 census, it had a population of 18,755.
The "International Corridor," a commercial zone along University Boulevard at the southern end of Langley Park, is close to the University of Maryland, College Park, Silver Spring, and Takoma Park. It is included in the Prince George's County Enterprise Zone. Many of the shops and restaurants along the International Corridor represent the community's multi-ethnic heritages, from Central America, West Africa, Southeast Asia, the Caribbean, and many other parts of the world.
Two transit station locations on the proposed Purple Line are being planned to serve Langley Park. One is at the Montgomery/Prince George's county line, at New Hampshire Avenue and University Boulevard ("Takoma/Langley Crossroads"), and was recently named the most dangerous intersection in Maryland for pedestrians. The danger is due to crossings of these six-lane routes mid-block at curbside bus stops.
