Living in and around Baltimore County
Baltimore County is more than just a great place to work, it is
also a great place to live. In the heart of Maryland, Baltimore
County wraps around Baltimore City and extends to Pennsylvania –
covering nearly 600 square miles. Whatever lifestyle you choose,
you can find it here. From renowned horse farms on the Hereford
countryside to busy marinas dotting miles of Chesapeake Bay waterfront
to growing metropolitan neighborhoods like Owings Mills, White Marsh
and Lutherville, Baltimore County is eminently livable, affordable
and accessible. Here you’ll find top-flight colleges and universities
where you can pursue advanced degrees, and you’ll find an
amazing array of cultural and social institutions and activities
to inspire, challenge, and delight you.
Baltimore is in the center of it all – just north of Washington,
D.C., just south of Philadelphia, and just a few hours from New
York, but with so many attractions and attributes in Baltimore you
may not want to leave.
With rich history as a major port city, Baltimore is now all grown
up. The city’s Inner Harbor attracts visitors from around
the world to Harborplace, the National Aquarium in Baltimore, and
the Maryland Science Center. Just beyond the harbor, sports fans
gather at state-of-the-art facilities to watch the Baltimore Ravens
and Orioles win games and championships. But you’ll quickly
discover that Baltimore is much more than the Inner Harbor and the
Baltimore metropolitan area is much more than the city.
Baltimore City has a spirit all its own – friendly, casual,
fun. This is a place where it is easy to fit in and make your mark.
Baltimore is a city of neighborhoods – exciting communities
like Fells Point, Charles Village, Federal Hill, Hampden, Canton
– each with its own character.
If you choose to live in Baltimore County, you’ll be just
minutes away from the city, and you’ll find endless housing
and neighborhood options – from sophisticated suburban communities
to waterfront living or quiet rural towns.
Throughout the city and county, you’ll discover world-class
and one-of-a-kind cultural institutions, community events, restaurants,
parklands, recreation, and shopping. You’ll find places where
history was made and where you can make history.
