Takoma Park is highly progressive! A nuclear free zone, this Maryland suburb has an award-winning recycling program and allows residents who are not U.S. citizens to vote in local elections and run for local office. Often called Azalea City, Takoma Park has been designated a “Tree City, USA,” which makes this one of the best spots in metro DC for fun, outdoor dates!
Takoma Park can be easily accessed via Metro, using the Takoma Park stop on the Red line.
