Greater Baltimore offers an unrivaled set of living options.
Where else in the country can you live near the ocean and the mountains? Where else is horse country or waterfront on the Chesapeake Bay within a half-hour’s drive of each other? Where else can you find quaint, small towns such as Annapolis, Ellicott City, Havre de Grace and Westminster — all just a short drive from Baltimore’s vibrant downtown?

Quality of Life Rankings
Did you know that Forbes.com named Baltimore one of the top five cities for singles in the country?  Leading travel guide publisher Frommer’s named Baltimore one of the top ten up-and-coming travel destinations in the world. Baltimore ranked seventh in a survey of best cities for relocating families, according to Worldwide ERC, a membership association of relocation managers.
And it didn’t stop there. Baltimore ranked seventh among America’s top 25 arts destinations, due in no small measure to our incredible cultural heritage and institutions such as the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Walters, the Hippodrome, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, the American Visionary Arts Museum, and Centerstage.

The National Aquarium in Baltimore has received praise, too. Zagat’s U.S. Family Travel Guide named it the second-best aquarium in the country in terms of family appeal.
