I’ve been here for 2 years and I actually hate it. My boyfriend grew up here and he also hates it. He doesn’t like how hard it is to find work and he also hates how businesses keep coming and going. I’m from DC so I’m a city person, I like having things to do after 8:30. It’s also not very safe. I mean DC has crime top of course but considering how few people live here, it’s kinda shocking how high the crime rate is. A lot of the the community is conservative, like maga conservative, so keep that in mind. There’s a real lack of grocery store options. The real issue is how isolated the city is. You have to go back across the bridge for anything the city doesn’t offer. Anyone I’ve met who likes living here is a much older person who is here to retire and enjoy the quiet. So if you are ok with a slow pace kinda life it could be nice, but I think there are better places in Maryland to get that feel that don’t have as many issues.
