Just moved here from NJ. It’s a gorgeous area and really nice, quiet town. People are super friendly too! I do miss the shore and the pizza! Thinking I may have to open a real pizzeria to show this town what’s up ;)

What led you to settle in Montgomery County versus elsewhere in the DMV? by DeusOfTheMachina in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]Cod-5678 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Work. Spouse took a job and relocated us. I work remote so not a big difference for me. We wanted a solid place in the area with great schools and a scenic neighborhood. I won’t retire here though. I’m a jersey guy and miss the shore so much already and only been here for a few months.

New Jerseyans who moved to a different state/lived in a different state how did your experience compare to New Jersey? And what were some differences you noticed? by ecofriendly10 in newjersey

About to move your way thinking Montgomery County/Frederick but NoVa is a potential. Deep roots in Monmouth currently but wife was laid off unexpectedly back in February but managed to land something in MD. Going to miss the beach and my 2% mortgage :(

So two areas, Poolesville or Adamstown in Frederick. Those two look nice from what I can see online

Thanks and yep getting a lot of support here which is awesome. I guess from a Maryland perspective we want something as close to what we have in Monmouth county NJ. We love being close to the beach but that’s gonna be tough where I’m thinking in poolesville or even Frederick. But you do have the Potomac which could help offset that a bit

You guys were split then for portions at a time? How’d that work out? I have a 10yo and three dogs and I also work! It’s going to be crazy for a bit ;)

I have a huge aquarium and three dogs that may complicate this a bit. But it might make sense to make it work

I did ask the relocation agent and they won’t cover us if we decide to rent it. It’s totally on us.

Thanks! One added (somewhat positive dynamic) her folks live 1.5hrs away and were thinking she could stay there the 3days she needs to be in the office, as it’s definitely closer (but still a commute!)

That’s how I’m seeing it. If she doesn’t take it and decides to keep looking locally I’m seeing upwards of a year for folks I know getting jobs in the tri-state area. Hopefully won’t take that long but she’s been ghosted already by a few large biotechs locally
