Maryland is unique in that many of the population centers lie on
the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. If you have a hankering to be
close to the water, Maryland real estate may be the answer.
Maryland
Maryland, the ocean and seafood are three words that always go
together. The dominant feature, of course, is Chesapeake Bay
which is the lifeblood of the Maryland fishing industries. Take
a drive up the coast and you'll visit modern cities and historic
little shore towns, all with the characteristics of any location
on the ocean in any part of the world. Inland, Maryland is
profiled with mountain ranges and historically significant sites
from the maturation process of the United States.
Baltimore
If you're looking for a city with an eccentric charm, Baltimore
is a hidden gem and definitely the best city on the east coast.
The city has a robust waterfront area with concert pavilions and
tons of little eccentric niches you can see while just walking
around. There is no denying Baltimore is a historic town, but
this history comes from a flavorful population. Words fail me in
describing the city. You just have to experience it for
yourself.
In the past, Baltimore had a reputation as a very tough town
with crime problems. This is no longer the case and presents you
with an opportunity to get in the bottom floor of the real
estate market.
Frederick
Located about an hour from Baltimore, Frederick is the home of a
presidential retreat with an overwhelming amount of history.
Yep, I'm talking about Camp David, which is located just a few
miles outside of Frederick. Wouldn't you love to be a fly on the
wall in that compound? Frederick has the classic eastern
seaboard architectural style and temperament with older stone
homes and such. Frederick is also centrally located to such
historic sites as Antietam and Harpers Ferry.
Maryland Real Estate
Maryland real estate is reasonably priced when compared to
typical eastern seaboard real estate. A single family residence
in Baltimore will set you back $500,000 on average, while the
same home in Frederick will run about $100,000 less. The
appreciation rate for Maryland real estate is a very strong 22
percent for 2005.
