Maryland Offers

Cities, Small Towns and Unique Coastline

If you’ve ever heard Maryland’s nickname of ‘Little America’, you may already know that Maryland is a diverse state in numerous ways. The state offers something for every taste, from big cities to little towns and from rolling hills to stunningly unique coastline. For instance, in a single day, you could explore cozy beaches, the metropoles of Annapolis and Baltimore and the rolling hills of western Maryland wine country. If you move to Maryland and travel throughout your new state, you could potentially explore and experience:

Cooler, sparsely-populated towns in the Appalachian Mountains on the western end of the state
Ski and snowboarding resorts in the northern part of the state
Major cities including Baltimore, Annapolis, Bethesda and more
Charming coastal towns and beaches on the Chesapeake Bay

Both States Provide Local Mid-Atlantic Flavor

Thanks to both shared history and geographical proximity, you may be able to sense some similarities with New York culture when you’re in Maryland. Both Maryland and New York belong to the mid-Atlantic area of the United States’ Eastern seaboard, and so may share certain cultural aspects. However, that doesn’t mean that Maryland can’t offer a unique flavor of its own! Marylanders often have a strong attachment to the Chesapeake Bay and its traditional lifestyle. In Maryland, more so than in New York, you’re likely to come across:

Crab cakes
Fresh-picked fruit
A more laid-back lifestyle
Proximity to Southern hospitality

Maryland’s Cost of Living May Be Lower

When it comes to comparing Maryland’s cost of living with New York’s, there are a few main factors to keep in mind. Perhaps the most important is your precise location – rural western Maryland is generally more affordable, for instance, than the eastern D.C. suburbs. However, on the whole, you can expect a slight decrease in your cost of living. Baltimore, for instance, is nearly half as expensive as New York City, with the most noticeable differences visible in the cost of groceries, healthcare, transportation and utilities. This means that a move to Maryland could potentially be good news for your wallet!

Maryland Summer Can Bring the Heat

Although both Maryland and New York enjoy favorable four-season weather, it’s not uncommon for Maryland’s summers to turn into humid scorchers, with some days soaring above 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Maryland’s climate varies somewhat depending on elevation and terrain, as does New York’s, but on the whole is more humid, especially from June to August. If you’re thinking of taking a road trip down to the Chesapeake Bay for the summer, make sure to pack some extra sunscreen!

Top-Notch Healthcare in Maryland

Whether you’re going into retirement soon, have a health condition that needs to be monitored or simply want peace of mind knowing that your health is in good hands, you can rest easy when you live in Maryland. This state offers top-notch healthcare, including Johns Hopkins Hospital, which is frequently ranked in the top three best adult hospitals in the United States. This unique strength allows Marylanders to know that they’re never too far from good healthcare should they need it, and can contribute significantly to residents’ overall quality of life.

Leaving New York for the Old Line State can be an exciting and worthwhile move. From a pleasantly similar climate to top-notch career, cultural and healthcare opportunities to numerous sites for history buffs to sink their teeth into and more, Maryland has earned the nickname ‘Little America’ for a reason. If you’re thinking of leaving the Empire State behind and starting a new life in Maryland, be sure to review this quick list so you know what to expect once you get settled into this diverse and exciting state.
