Southern Maryland: Small Town Charm a Hop Away from the Big City

Everyone knows that location is a major factor in where you decide to buy a home. When you are looking to move you and your family into a new house, it is not just about making sure the family room is cozy enough, or that you have enough closet space. It is also about where you are choosing to plant your family’s roots. Where will you go grocery shopping, where is your Friday night hangout spot, and is there anything fun to take the kids to close by? These are all questions that may be swirling through your mind as you begin researching areas. Oftentimes, you have to choose between a fast-paced city life and a laid back, hometown feel. Luckily for you, there is a place that lets you have the best of both worlds. Southern Maryland is home to rolling acres of farm fields, beautiful natural scenery, historic land sites and only about one hour outside of our nation’s capital!
Here are ten things that you can enjoy in the surrounding areas on a typical Southern Maryland weekend:
  • Taking a visit to the Smithsonian’s
  • Biking around the National Mall
  • Visiting the state’s capital, Annapolis, MD
  • Visiting the Eastern Shore’s world famous beaches
