Born and raised in MD. Lived there for 55yrs. Taxes and gun laws drove me out. Taxes are outrageous.
I love Maryland. I lived there for over 42 years and enjoyed every moment.
The Spring and Fall are the best part of the year in Maryland.
I loved being able to function between Baltimore and Washington, DC . I also like the various foods that you can experience in thus state.
I just love Maryland. Lived in Ellicott City, Md.
I liked Ellicott City too. They're more geared to tourists though. And don't forget the flooding!
The humidity in Maryland is really really bad, especially in summer.
Talking like 60-80% rH or 40-60%?
I want to move to Maryland or DMV area but the housing prices are scary
I am a native Washingtonian (living in Montgomery County) and his assessment of MD and surrounding areas are spot on! 👏🏾👏🏾
Thanks for watching!
Anyone coming from where I live, here in Hawaii, would be pleasantly surprised by the average home prices in Maryland. Here the average is $835,000 and climbing. The median is over $1,000,000.
Stay out of downtown Baltimore during ravens home games
Everything you said about MD is absolutely true.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Don't forget the worst drivers in the country! Turn signals are not a thing here. Lanes are optional. Double yellow lines are just a suggestion.
Thanks for the heads up. But, I’ve experienced the most “creative” drivers in Philadelphia.
As someone who's lived in many states, Maryland surprisingly has some of the better drivers in the country. They're not good, that's just a testament to how bad drivers have gotten across the country
Come to Florida! Got you beat by a million in bad driving 😂 I’m from up north, so this is right at home for me 🫡
You need to travel more if you think Maryland is bad. They are mild on the roads of Maryland.
I'm a city dweller, in the heart of it, from Minneapolis and very interested in the prospect of rehab'd row homes y'all have despite the BS as I've dealt with city drama my whole life, I'm just interested in how hard it really is, like stay with the 2nd on the hip, you have to do a lap or two around your townhome to make sure no one is creeping... like just genuinely interesting in how hard of city life it is coming from a city life you absolutely need to be aware of your surroundings but unsure if it's a whole next level
And this has been one of coolest summers in years lol. Usually late July and early august stays in the high 90s with really high humidity.
I've lived in Maryland for 35 years, and this is probably the coolest average temps through summer I can remember period.
Also its worth noting you left out the eastern shore when talking about city life... The majority of the eastern shore is rural, not even any interstate highways over on this side of the bay.
You’re in Baltimore….Montgomery County is nice…
Maryland has been home my entire life 💪. I really like the seasons here.
Usually we have four seasons, but lately winter is more like a late fall with very little snow.
I moved to MD nearly 28 years ago, and I love it
Great!!! I'm ready for the move
The humidity is something else during the summer. Right now it is 86 degrees F and it feels like it's 95 to me because of the humidity. We haven't had to shovel snow for 2 years straight.
I don't mind the light winters, haha. As long as we have get the seasons!
@@livinginmaryland7837 Us too!
Really, there are critters everywhere. Maryland's environment is mostly healthy and clean, so there will be critters. I've lived here all my adult life, over 60 years and the worst I experienced is, indeed, mosquitos and a little repellent takes care of them. I love Maryland, one of the easiest places to live in with parks that don't charge an entrance fee, public beaches. mountains to climb and rivers and the Chesapeak Bay to hike along or boat on.
I respectfully disagree about the friendliness. I am a Marylander born and raised, but Im sorry....not known for its friendliness.
I'm in Texas (Born and raised) and this video was eye opening . Everything sounds great except high cost of living lol. Dang :( lol
Thanks for watching!
I am from the Washington DC area and I currently live in Germantown, Maryland however I did live in Dallas, Texas back in 2015 for 5 months and I miss it and you are correct the home prices are high here in Maryland especially in the areas that are not worth the price so as much as Luv my hometown of the DMV Texas definitely has cheaper homes even in a major city like Dallas, Texas and I am highly considering moving back to Dallas, Texas.
@@livinginmaryland7837 Thanks for the info! I appreciate it!
Me too. I'm considering moving here in the next yr
Worse thing about MD is the temperatures. I lived there from 1974 to 2008. The temperatures are deceiving. Don't pay attention to the temp. pay attention to what it "FEELS LIKE". In winter they will say it's 35 degrees but with the "windchill factor" it , "FEELS LIKE, 25 degrees. In the summer they will say it is 87 degrees but with the humidity it "FEELS LIKE" 102 degrees. lol Also winter drags on and seasonal depression by February is a real thing. Instead of April showers bring May flowers, it is more like May showers bring June flowers. If you are from a gulf state, beware of the ocean water in June. It is warm outside but the water in Ocean City is still very cold. I'm a gulf of Mexico baby and grew up swimming in clear water beach so that June water is brutal in MD. I live in TN now. This state has shorter winter and while temperatures on the news may appear to be close to as cold, we don't have the same kind of "wind chill" factor. not to mention winter is so much shorter. Summer's are just as hot, with high humidity and the same bug problem.
I definitely agree!!
No good Barber shop in Germantown MD
Marylander now in TN. I like Tennessee weather better I get SAD every year in Maryland. Not ally all here.
I'm from Central CA and we moved to MD two years ago. The bugs here in the summer season is out of control lol... Last year I found out that MD summer is their thunderstorms season ⚡🌩🌦😆🥴😰⚡🌦
I miss CA weather🏖🏕☀️🌊
Great video btw.
Thanks for watching! Yea, I miss cali weather too. AND you got to be here for the cicadas lol
@@livinginmaryland7837 lol...They were loud. We heard them on the freeway and all of our windows were up 😆😅
@@RuralLifeWithTheRoss Yea, it was crazy! We went to Deep Creek during it and there were not any. Great place to get away during it lol
@@livinginmaryland7837 We haven't been there yet. I'm looking forward to visiting that place :)
@@chad4326 Thank goodness! haha!
I'm from Glen Burnie now living in Long Beach, Los Angeles 🌞
Nice! Enjoy the weather! I definitely miss that part
Sandy Point State Park near Annapolis has a nice beach...
If you like dirt beaches!! There is a nice Christmas light display there. But I wouldn't go on the summer.
Please tell me montgomery county does not have the snake problem. Great video! Thank you
There may be black snacks in the farm or rural areas of Montgomery County. Its usually not a big problem.
No good Barber shop in Germantown MD
Maryland varies quite a bit from coast to Mountain and some of his comments are very general to the DC area.
these bugs etc are found throughout the state or in certain pockets?
As a Southern Californian as well, I may have to move there… the weather scares me (I really don’t like snow…)
Maryland has a real winter with snow but it's very mild compared to other states like Minnesota, Indiana, Ohio,....It DID NOT snow last winter and only about 3 times the year before.
Lol we hit 3 digit temperatures in Texas..
Brother this video is real. I live in cloverly MD and is wildlife in my backyard 😂 but I still love it. But the snakes are real.
This State where I live, is good only for medium high class, high class people. Extremely high the cost of living here. Best seasons are fall and spring, you are right.
There's not much to do here, (personal point of view), pretty boring state, rural.
I live in western Maryland, and it’s a lot nicer than the dumps in those counties
I am not a Marylander, but a serious wanna be. I really appreciate your videos.
Thanks for watching! We would love to have you whenever the time is right for you. Let me know if you ever need anything at all :)
As far as it being "crowded", you totally ignored the Eastern Shore and Western MD, where you don't have the population overload you get in Baltimore/DC. . . .
Don't like OC crowds, don't go to Delaware, go south of OC to Assateague Island!!!
I live in Ocean City Maryland. I don't get what you're trying to say about the commute or that the beach isn't near here, near from where? I walk out to the beach. Yes, I know everybody doesn't have that luxury, but my point is, it's in Maryland which goes against what, I assumed, your objective on this video is talking about. Perhaps your title should read, "Avoid Baltimore Maryland, [unless you can handle these things]. Am I missing something?
I’m native to Maryland but I want to move to la
I don't think that the median home price in Baltimore County is nearly that high. I know that the median home price in Baltimore City is just under 200K, but there are a lot of rough areas that bring down the overall median price. According to Redfin the median sale price in Baltimore County is 320K, and that's during the height of the current affordability crisis. There are some parts of the county that are really expensive like Towson, Lutherville and places north of there, but there are also places in that are extremely affordable like Essex and Dundalk where I routinely see homes listed in the 200K range (you may have to pay more for flood insurance in those areas though because they're so close to the water). Luckily, Baltimore is still pretty much a blue collar city with blue collar home prices.
I don't disagree with you. Medians and averages are tough to go by. The more expensive parts of Baltimore, like the areas up 83 really drive that figure up. And Baltimore County is so big. If you are serious about moving to Baltimore County, it is very helpful to look at stats more specific to the exact area or zip you want to be in.
If there is any sunny all that is unusual for me because I live in Scotland in the UK it's basically very north and cold England but the sky called Scott had a lot and I mean a lot of children and they spoke this language called Scottish and he was called Scott so it's called Scott land but they don't have a space so Scotland
I subscribe to your channel and then. enjoyed this video. Why did you not include Cumberland in discussing areas in Maryland, the cost of living in Cumberland is very low. and the mountains are very beautiful. You can purchase a home in Cumberland for less than $100,000. I would think you being a realtor would point. to point that out.
Thanks for watching and for your comment! I focus on Central Maryland with my channel. Cumberland is about 2 hours away from greater Baltimore so it's not an area I get a lot of people asking about. And since it's so far I don't know much about it :)
Lived in California but disses Maryland. I'll stop you right there. PG county, Camp Springs/Marlow Heights area.
u gotta be in the woods huh lls
Maryland isn't as bad as NYC or Cali
Agreed!!
Just remembered no good Barber shop in Germantown MD
Remember to away do your research first to prevent you from running into a jackass Barber
As someone from georgia i barely consider the Virginia's as part of the south. There is no way Maryland is part of the south. The reason is dc wich is physically in meryland is and was the capital of the u.s. during the civil war and now. Meryland didnt suceed from the union. Meryland is definitely not part of tge south. Thanks for using logic in this video.
On the Eastern Shore Kent Island, we did not get any cicadas. Was excellent. Also, you forgot that Maryland is a Democrat controlled state, so pick a good county to survive it. ✌️
Maryland had a referendum for medical marijuana that didn't get implemented until ten years later.
Where can I avoid the snakes. Lol. Probably renting is better for now…😅
There is really not a lot. I think I've just had a little bad luck when it comes to the snakes 😂 If you'd like to chat about renting/buying, im available at 410.428.5216
Yeah Maryland has bipolar weather and I just can't with it
Thanks for not naming our community.
Baltimore City is a cancer for the whole state because that crime doesn't just stay in the city, I grew up in Harford County, once they started putting in section 8, that was the beginning of the end and we got a bunch of useless thugs. I left MD, my advice is don't move there because the crime is bad, and the state is crazy expensive.
Why is the crime in Baltimore so high?
Because of the government. Too much crime.
All the crackheads.
It's a mostly black city.
Are you afraid to talk about PG County?? You really aren't from here! You cover cities in the county but never mentioned the county! Be afraid, be very afraid!!
And would LOVE to know where those friendly people are! I'm in Bowie, btw. You DO sound like a realtor!
Thanks for watching Peggy! And you are correct, I'm not from Maryland. I talk very openly about that in a lot of the videos :) I have nothing against PG county, it is just the area that I'm the least knowledgeable about. Have a good one!
Thanks so much for your reply! PG County often gets overlooked because it borders DC. PG is the go-to county when criminals are running from the police in DC. The DC sniper came to Bowie's Middle School was the site the sniper chose to shoot at kids. PG isn't Montgomery County or Anne Arundel County, those places get the most positive airplay.
@@peggysmith4445 Thanks for sharing!!
No mention of the gun laws... Well, to be fair, you did come from cali...
haha very true. Not a stand your ground state and purchase of handguns requires a "HQL." I believe there is a 10 day waiting period on handguns but long guns are cash and carry.
@@livinginmaryland7837 There is quite a lot more too. Such as only being able to buy handguns on the approved list, bans on many long guns as well, no building your own, the laws on transporting your firearms, purchase limits, magazine limits, ect..
@@zim63 Thanks for sharing!
You can own standard mags just has to be purchased from out of state.
Don’t move to Maryland it sucks
No good Barber shop in Germantown MD on wisteria Dr.
I cant imagine living somewhere that doesn’t have all 4 seasons. I think we have pretty mild winters.
I agree! This winter was very mild 😂
Im from New England 💪🏾 the weather in Maryland is a joke to me 😂 You don’t know what a real snow storm is. Bring on Maryland hahaha 🦷 the state tax total beat Massachusetts though by like 2.5% which sucks but I just want to get the hell out of florida! Don’t believe the florida hype people 😂
haha! We didn't get one single snow this past winter. Maryland tends to be very mild winter wise
MD sucks lived there my whole life until I moved to SC. Best decision I ever made
Maryland truly sucks. I lived there for 17 years. Long depressing winters. Nothing around.. Extremely high prices. Unfriendly people. Moved back to Florida where I'm from. Best decision ever
@@seven471 not to mention the tolls there everywhere. Ezpass will make you go broke!
Hey Skipper, I'm right behind you! Retiring somewhere on the coast. Our montra has always been... "I'm not gonna die in Bowie!" LOL
I think is the counties, worst one if you are not black or white , don't move to Cecil county, horrible county
I moved to NC years ago, Harford County went to s@@t.
Lived here my whole life. Don’t move here and don’t even think about retiring here. People are stupid political Right and Left. Is it a Democrat State but so divided county to county. Stay away from Baltimore. There are tons of jobs so companies are always hiring. Living expenses can be pretty high. Stay very far away from Calvert County Cops and Maryland State Police.
Every single thing you’ve listed can be said about soooooo many other states in the region. Your list is not Maryland specific. Maybe title this video, “Stuff That Stands out for Californians moving to the East Coast”.
Terrible terrible video.
People in Maryland are friendly...until you actually get to know them. Then a lot of them are just thin-skinned and entitled. They also tend to be political fanatics, especially in schools and medical facilities. There is also a lot of reckless driving. People will speed, even in parking lots and garages.
As for the diversity, expect to deal with a lot of people who have difficulty with English, especially in government agencies, medical facilities, retail and food service, and the lower income areas in general. This is the truth and nothing but the truth. So, think twice before moving to the state of Maryland. Unless, as I said you are wealthy and healthy.
Wow. That was an odd and pointed evaluation of Maryland. Thin skinned and entitled lol. Political fanatics lol, pretty sure we dont have a huge amount of maga cultists here. Politics in schools and medicine now that is not true. Reckless driving lol. As for the immigrants, we like immigrants here thank you very much, we are a true American state. We welcome immigrants as the future productive citizens they will be. I have been to states that have homegrown pops that can barely speak english give them a break, how many languages do you speak?
Haha the Driving part is spot on. Most ingnorant drivers in the world
