Beltsville sits off US-1 and I-95 between College Park and Laurel, so most visitors drive. Greenbelt (Green Line) and MARC (Camden Line at Muirkirk/Laurel) give transit options, and College Park is a short hop for more car-free living.

Explore hub →MoCo CorridorMontgomery County Federal Science Corridor
The Montgomery County science corridor for visitors who move between campuses rather than living beside one: FDA White Oak and the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research at Forest Glen, plus the Red Line and I-270 links to NIH Bethesda and NIST Gaithersburg. If you are assigned to one specific campus, start with that campus's own hub — this page is for choosing between them and for the commutes that cross them.
Explore hub →DC metroWashington DC metro research community
Researcher housing guidance organised around where you actually work and how you will commute across Washington, Maryland and Northern Virginia. This is the page for choosing: which campus you are assigned to, which jurisdiction you want to be a tenant in, and whether you can live without a car. The starting fact most arrivals learn late is that the institutions bringing you here mostly do not house you — NIH states in terms that it does not provide housing for fellows, and the NIH-adjacent option it points to is limited to badge-holding stipend fellows; NIST's guest-researcher pages carry no housing guidance at all. If you already know your campus, go straight to its own hub — NIH Bethesda and NIST Gaithersburg each have one. Independent community resource — not affiliated with or endorsed by any agency, hospital or university.
