Why move to Maryland?
Maryland's strongest single argument is around beach weekends are a drive, not a vacation.
Beach weekends are a drive, not a vacation
Maryland has Atlantic coastline — meaning the ocean is reachable without a flight, and for plenty of residents it's reachable in under an hour. That changes the rhythm of a year: summer plans default to the water, the weather is moderated by being near it, and a lot of the state's culture is tied to fishing, ports, or beach towns.
Reasons reflect aggregated city data for Maryland (Census ACS, BLS, BEA) plus well-known state-level geography. We only list points that are actually supported — different states show different sections.
