Laurel is a city in northern Prince George's County, Maryland, in the United States, located almost midway between Washington, D.C., and Baltimore on the banks of the Patuxent River. Founded as a mill town in the early 19th century, the arrival of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad in 1835 expanded local industry and later enabled the city to become an early commuter town for Washington and Baltimore workers. Largely residential today, the city maintains a historic district centered on its Main Street, highlighting its industrial past.
The Department of Defense is a prominent presence in the Laurel area today, with the Fort Meade Army base, the National Security Agency, and Johns Hopkins University's Applied Physics Laboratory all located nearby. Laurel Park, a thoroughbred horse racetrack, is located just outside city limits.

The community is a very safe and friendly to leave
I've lived at this location for 18 years and never had any issues. I have two seniors that live close by and I watch out for them just as well as they watch out for me with concerns if we do not see each other for a period of time.
People in the community are very cordial, but the stay to themselves. Age range is from late 30s to mid 70s.
West Laurel is an area that is home for many families, comprised of both the elderly and young.
It is quaint and peaceful. Rows of neat houses line the streets, some have their own unique personalities.
The atmosphere is fresh with green landscapes as the spring moves in more day by day. The few parks that are located within the West Laurel area are abundant in open spaces for long walks and exercising. West Laurel is age friendly because its' features accommodate activities for all ages, while being safe and slow-paced.
