Maryland

Although a relatively small state by area (12,400 square miles), Maryland has 5.6 million residents. Most of this is due to the historically important Chesapeake Bay, which continues to be a major port for importing and exporting as well as an important commercial fishing site, especially for crab.

The state also has large coal mining operations and several significant steel manufacturing companies. One of the largest employers is the federal government; both the National Institutes of Health and the Food and Drug Administration are located in Maryland. In recent years the state has also developed as a life sciences hub and is now the third largest biotech center in the country with over 350 biotech companies located here.

Many Maryland apartments actually house commuters who work in Washington, DC rather than in-state. Baltimore is becoming a high-tech and biotech hotspot, so you can find new Maryland apartments under construction there every year.

Outdoor Attractions

The climate in Maryland varies widely from hot and humid with mild winters in the southern areas (particularly on the Bay) to forested areas in the northwest with cold winters and mild summers. You can find activities for all four seasons, from ice fishing in the mountainous areas to boating, fishing and wakeboarding in the Bay and on stretches of the Potomac River.

There is lots of rain in Maryland and the protected wetlands and cypress swamps are visited by millions of wildlife fans each year. These areas are havens for bird watchers year round.

Colleges and Universities

The University System of Maryland includes thirteen universities, including the flagship campus of the University of Maryland, College Park. Also prominent are Howard Hughes Medical Institutes and Johns Hopkins, one of the most prestigious universities in the United States.

Many colleges and universities offer specialized government internships to upper-class students due to the proximity of schools to the nation's capital in Washington, DC.

Real Estate and Housing

Maryland is the second wealthiest state in the U.S. based on median income, with many families living in upscale townhouses and luxury apartments in Maryland for years before buying a home. This has resulted in some exceptional Maryland apartment complexes being constructed in the major metropolitan areas to meet the demand of residents with expendable incomes and high expectations.

The down side is that housing in Maryland is almost 50% higher in cost than in most other states. This is in part a carry-over from the District of Columbia. The general cost of living is between 10-20% than the nation's average – but salaries in the state are also higher, which tends to level the "paying field."
