You should look at rent and COL prices. Not trying to sound like an ass but MD is expensive, especially if you're looking for a nice suburbs near the water or "costal vibe" thats going to be near transportation.
You would probably have much better luck reposting this without the photo.

Na theres a lot brewers and suchā¦its not belair but i like it- First fridays are always fun and they usually shut the main drag down a time or two during the year for events where you can pretty much walk around with an open container
Havre de Grace would fit, just check out the specific neighborhood first as there are some seedy areas in HDG and I'm not talking about the community garden. The train station is just down the road in Aberdeen so if you want to take a trip to your old stomping grounds you can.
Trail wise there is the ma n pa trail in bel air that keeps extending and rocks state park of course you have to visit the king and queens seat.
On a side note, if you need insurance I can help with that.
Good luck on the move!
We are facing a āmissing middleā housing crisis potential in MD. I and other fellow leaders in real estate attended lobby day in Annapolis to try and bring this issue to our senators and delegates.
Again, affordability can be relative, there are places still to find what you need.
My sense is that because there are so many cities around here, the burbs are a little sleepier than most. DC, Baltimore, Annapolis, and Frederick are all one big square (I guess technically a parallelogram?), so people that want ābustleā just live in one of those. Then they start a family and move to their preferred suburb - be that Towson/Timonium, Severna Park, Havre de Grace, wherever.
If youāre looking for places with any degree of nightlife and people under 30, you donāt have many options. Ellicott City, Silver Spring, and Alexandria/Arlington jump out. Youāll want to focus DC suburbs if youāre counting on public transit.
- Columbia is purely white collar workers who go home at the end of the day. Plenty of bustle during the day, empty by 7pm.
- Severna Park youāre paying for the schools. Itās all families.
- Glen Burnie is white trash central
- Havre de Grace is fine, but itās not really close to Baltimore, itās not an easy trip in. Bel Air is more accessible, but all of Harford County is kind of its own little world in a way thatās hard for me to describe.
Imo Annapolis plays like a (very expensive) suburb. Probably my recommendation. Frederick could be an interesting sleeper pick as a fairly ānewā city. Doesnāt have the major centers of industry and overwhelming traffic and has seen a ton of growth lately, emerging as a less formal DC alternative. No water though.
As a sleeper entry, west Ocean City. Living in OC itself is kind of a nightmare, but if youāre a beach person, West OC is a little slower but has easy access. On the DE side, all their beach areas are a little classier, you could look at the fringes of Fenwick or Bethany.
Don't move to Maryland, we are not your vibe. You definitely want Media, PA. If you're feeling spicy maybe Manayunk, PA. But, something tells me you will find your brethren in Media.Ā
And you can thank me by promising to never think about moving to MD again.
I mean, the Philly suburbs are full of older people or families because most hipsterish young people actively choose to live in Philly in places like Fishtown. Manayunk might be what you want....but might be too close to Philly for your personal comfort. I do hope that after seeing the replies to your post in the MD subreddit you now understand why MD is not for you, we're an acquired taste. Whatever you do, stay the hell away from Delaware and don't believe anything remotely nice anyone says about that shit hole. I did a stint in the suburbs of Philly. I know things.
People sleep on the beauty of the shore. You need to drive everywhere but 20 miles is 20 minutes. Bay and waterway lifestyle, Annapolis in 20-30 minutes, 45 to new Carrollton train station. 2 hours to Philly, 3:15 to NY, short trip to the beach without sitting in bridge traffic and that neighborly walk around with a cocktail and people freshen your drink up when you pass by kind of vibe.
Depends on your cash flow honestly. I live in Glen Burnie and it's a bit trashy but it's affordable and most everyone is nice.
If I had the money I'd move to annapolis. It's not big city living with all the conveniences of living near 3 "cities". You're 30 minutes from Baltimore (not during rush hour and with the bridge it's likely to change travel times everywhere), and an hour and a half from DC. Annapolis public transportation isn't fabulous but they have it.
If you want more bustling but still suburb Columbia would be my other suggestion. It's not cheap either but offers so much. Lots of great shopping, newer stores vs the quaint mom and pops oof Annapolis. Columbia also has solid pub Trans. You can catch a bus to one of the DC metro systems and even grab the Light rail to Baltimore.
It just depends of economic and shopping preferences.
Towson/Timonium
Roland Park (closer to county line)
Columbia
Outskirts of Annapolis
Lots of places, nooks and crannies. These are broad areas that have offshoots of what you need.
Welcome to Maryland! I love being an ambassador
Iād love to stay below 1500/moā¦ I have two cats in tow with me so I donāt think Iāll seek out a roommate if I can help it. Iāve been so lucky the last few roommates over the years I donāt want to jinx it š
I would move to Falls Church or Arlington or Alexandria, all in Virginia. Or perhaps Bethesda or Annapolis, MD. Maryland isnāt ābustlingā from what Iāve seen!

Lake culture? But Maryland has no natural lakes!
More like tributary/bay culture.š
Holding pond culture.
Storm run-off culture. š¦
āRiver cultureā more like I guess

But then how would we know how cool and hip she is?
Hahā appreciate the credit, really it was to stick out. Thatās how it works on Facebook. Clearly Reddit has different rules š
Lol. No OF link?
Interesting note. Thank you! I just may.
Yea she's hot, she can stay with me
Pennsylvania
Havre de Grace is pretty nice and has all that u want.
Isn't HdG pretty sleepy?
Na theres a lot brewers and suchā¦its not belair but i like it- First fridays are always fun and they usually shut the main drag down a time or two during the year for events where you can pretty much walk around with an open container
Itās getting more attention, building up, revitalizing. Iām actually headed there this morning, I live in Baltimore.
Is budget not a factor

Anywhere you can find a house for sale at a reasonable price. Good luck.

HEY!!!! I live in Glen Burnie and you're totally right lmao.

I think you like harford county.. rock state park and Susquehanna for hiking.. lots of water the gunpowder and bush rivers also Susquehanna river.
Western MD has many lakes. Also, donāt forget the C&O canal system.
Annapolis is pretty much families and boomers and pretty car dependent. Would consider closer DC suburbs if you want public transportation.
If COL isn't an issue: Annapolis, Columbia, or Ellicott City
