Things You Should Know About Maryland

Now that you know more about what you can expect when working with Poseidon Moving and Storage when moving to Maryland, it’s time to learn more about the Old Line State. After all, learning as much as you can about your new home before moving to Maryland will leave you better prepared. That’s why our movers have compiled a list of reasons that you should consider moving to Maryland.

Maryland, known as the Old Line State, has a population of roughly 6.046 million people as of 2019. Although Maryland is known as being the 9th smallest state in the country, that shouldn’t deter you from moving here. There are many reasons that so many people move to Maryland each year. One of the biggest reasons to move to Maryland is found in its location, for starters. Located right next to Washington D.C., our nation’s capital, residents of Maryland are allowed all of the perks of D.C. without the pricier costs of living.

Maryland is also home to one of the best aquariums in the country, National Aquarium in Baltimore. This aquarium is an award-winning aquarium hosting over 17,000 specimens for you to enjoy viewing. Among the most popular exhibits in the aquarium are an open ocean shark tank and a multiple-story Atlantic coral reef tank for residents and visitors alike to enjoy. As we briefly discussed, Maryland’s location is one of the biggest reasons that it is such a great state to live in. In fact, Maryland is so close to D.C. that many people move there because it is far more affordable while the short distance to the capital allows them to work there. According to NerdWallet, Eldersburg is one of the most affordable cities in Maryland boasting an average home value of $382,700 and a solid median household income of $101,663.

Maryland is also one of the best places to live for those who love spending time in the outdoors. With well-defined seasons and everything from mountains and beaches to big cities and farms, the state is truly an outdoor lover’s dream and there’s something for everyone. From the shores of the Chesapeake Bay to hiking in the Blue Ridge Mountains, there’s something for everyone to love about the natural beauty of Maryland.

Popular Towns to Visit in Maryland

Now that you know a bit more about what life is like in Maryland overall, it’s time to narrow our focus to some of the most popular towns to visit in the state. Some of the most popular towns to visit and live in Maryland include Baltimore, Columbia, Annapolis (the state’s capital), and Bethesda. Let’s talk about a few of these popular towns in a bit more detail so you know what to expect when moving to Maryland.

Baltimore has much to offer residents and visitors alike. From the world-famous Inner Harbor and popular museums and attractions to the award-winning restaurants and endless options for entertainment, there’s truly something in Baltimore for everyone. Baltimore is also home to some of the best education to be found in the state of Maryland. From the numerous public schools and private universities and colleges, getting a great education is always within your grasp when you live in Baltimore. The Johns Hopkins Hospital offers teaching in the medical field and is home to the biomedical research facility of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. Another perk of living in Baltimore is found in the fact that Baltimore’s charming neighborhoods are known for their historic row houses. Originally intended to be the living spaces for factory and mill workers, these quaint houses have been converted into lofts, condos, stores, restaurants, and offices with some of them even being located on the waterfront! Some of the most popular neighborhoods to live in Baltimore include Inner Harbor, Federal Hill-Montgomery, Fells Point, and Hampden.

Next, let’s talk a bit about life in Columbia. Ranked as the best place to live in 2016 by Money.com, there are a variety of reasons that Columbia is considered such a great place to live within the state of Maryland. For one, families in Columbia choose to make the area their homes due to the good schools, nearby amenities, wide open spaces, and the culturally diverse community. Located between Baltimore and Washington D.C, Columbia is also in a great location with the commute time to each of these cities from Columbia being very reasonable.

Although the population of Columbia has passed 100,000 people, the city is comprised of 10 self-contained villages and it is this village concept that makes Columbia, despite its population, feel like a small town. Featuring amenities such as three lakes, 80 miles of pathways, and The Mall in Columbia, there is much to love about life in this Maryland town. Located just 30 miles from Washington D.C, Columbia’s average family income is estimated to be around $120,000 and the wealth of government and research-related jobs make for a robust local economy. The most popular neighborhoods in Columbia include Long Reach, River Hill, Kings Contrivance, and Wilde Lake.

Long Distance Moving Tips

Now that you know more about what life is like in some of Maryland’s most popular towns, it’s time for a long distance moving tip from our movers here at Poseidon Moving and Storage. One of the biggest recommendations that our movers can make when preparing for your move to Maryland is to make an inventory list. This is a smart move when preparing for your long distance move for two reasons.

Firstly, an inventory list makes it much easier for your chosen moving company to give you the most accurate quote on their moving services. Secondly, an inventory list ensures that you are more readily able to keep track of all of your belongings during both the packing and moving process. You’d be surprised just how much of a difference an inventory list can make when preparing for your move to Maryland!
