What makes these the “best” places? A lot of these are expensive in every way, making them HORRIBLE places to actually live. Decent places to work though.
I wish Josh Kelty was an advocate against domestic violence rather than an advocate of domestic violence. I wish he would do his job rather than abuse his position to get men off!

I wouldn't recommend it. The place was WAY better back in the late 90s-early 2000s. Since it's near Langley Park, I've heard the place slowly went downhill since COVID.
Notice you named basically areas that you need a huge income to afford to live there. Many near the beltway areas. High income areas normally have lower crime rates and better schools due to high taxes to pay for more police and better school facilities. More likely to have speed traps and insane regulations.
We love Howard County. Terrific schools and other county services. We live in the “boonies” adjacent to Ellicott City so we have country (horses, fields and nature) close to city activities like aquariums, museums… And driving or metro to DC is day trip doable.
Y’all pls pls stop letting this fool you I’m from Frederick on muvas everywhere is different feel me it’s bad up their if you look for the beef that’s the thing we got nothin but police downtown junkies we got junkies at parks can’t even have the fair open without it getting shot up or parties get active do not let these fool you but you can live anywhere if you mind yo business
This is one of the most inaccurate videos I’ve ever watched. I’ve lived in several of these places in both Montgomery County and Howard County. The “famous” places listed are not famous as they claim. This video is just clickbait. I grew up in Rockville near Bethesda and I currently live in Columbia. There aren’t several “colleges and universities in these areas. Montgomery county has Montgomery college (community) and Howard has (Howard community college). There are no actually universities in either county with the exception of satellite campuses. Don’t be fooled. Do your research or hit me up with more info on both counties.
Listen to the voice on the recording. Many of today's best places videos are AI generated. Unless you see a real person speaking that's often the case. Even then many realtors are only giving you government stats. This is why reading the comments of people who actually live in the areas is beneficial. Still do your due diligence as one person's heaven could easily be someone else's hell.
He is right but University of Maryland is in college park and not really far, but there are plenty of universities around like 15 to 40 min drive or with the train, you can live Rockville and Bethesda, silver spring and attend universities in Washington DC or university of Md or Columbia, elicit city, Towson: university of Md, Towson university, UMB, John hopskins university and others…
Just disregarded PG county. No way you don’t mention Bowie or Upper Marlboro. Stay away from any city close to Bmore like Towson. The only thing I do agree with is Annapolis being #1.
Silver Spring is full of crime and mayhem. She got this completely wrong. Maryland has way better places than Montgomery County and Baltimore County.She nailed it with Frederick. Frederick is the fastest growing county in MD. Although the Governor (who I voted for by the way) doesn't seem to get it (I'm disappointed with him on infrastructure with Hwy 15), Frederick is booming. Beautiful mountains and downtown. I'll take it over crime filled, crazy Montgomery and over exaggerated Howard.
They sure are! I left MD and moved to NC. The pay in MD/DC is GREAT!! But, you are going to give it all back in bills because of taxes and everything is so expensive!!
If you’re political, look at the states map of the counties! If you want high crime go to Baltimore, I’ve lived here for 5 years now. I have made 2 friends in that 5 years. I’m a Southern female and speak to everyone, if just to say Hey! I smile at everyone, 1 in 30 MIGHT smile back! I am polite, I’ll hold the door, take a shopping cart back, tell you to have a nice day, Nothing in return, but I keep being me! Most people will not go out of their way for anything! I hate it but it’s true. The whole country is changing. Good luck in your decision.
Ha! What a crock. If you like a very expensive lifestyle and CONGESTION, move to most of these places. Towson may be the only decent place mentioned. I've lived in Maryland all my life and there are much better locations in The Old Line State. Did I mention CONGESTION?
Obviously, the commentators and producers have never lived or worked in Maryland. Glad we left when we did. We were there for fifty-five years. They totally missed the eastern shore and western counties which are the best part of Maryland.
@@Railhog2102 grew up in Harford county. Spent most of my time in Harford and Baltimore county. Worked in Baltimore city for a little bit. I live in York Countu, PA now and I'll probably stay here
Annapolis is not just the city of Annapolis and includes a large area around it also included as an Annapolis. If you don’t like boating, bars, restaurants, and golf don’t live there. Most people commute to work from 15 to 30 minutes or more away. Eastbound Route 50 is bumper-to-bumper starting around 1 PM every Friday from May through September people going to Ocean City. I know because I have lived there.
Some facts are incorrect. I've lived and visited all listed cities for 26 years. 1. Silver Springs is not safe, especially since it's near to Langley Park 2. With the exception of Towson and Annapolis, all the other cities are not close to the well-known universities. Mostly community colleges. 3. Bethesda is an expensive city but you don't need to afford a $1M home. If you make over 209k a year, you can afford a decent house 4. Annapolis should be placed 3rd in regards to low crime, but not wrong on affordable CoL
@@rabbiali7907 Ummmmm I dont really know bc im not 18 and dont look at houses but there are some downtown ish off of Elsworth ts i think (i hope i spelled that right)
The Maryland Wine Festival is not held in Frederick.. It's held in Westminster on the grounds of the Carroll County Farm Museum. I live in Maryland.. have lived here all my life. This video is less than accurate.
I'm considering it as I love to be close to the water. I've been abroad for five years and live along the shore now. It's nowhere as expensive as the states but family and friends are pulling my heart strings.
Used to live there on the Holly Tree farm. Very peaceful, but you need to cross the river to go to Havre de Grace or go north to Elkton to find anything. Perryville does have a 7-11 though.
It's been since 2015 that I've visited MD (raised there since I was 8 years old). If you want safety, I'd recommend Frederick or Columbia. Bethesda is also good but you gotta be making over $209k a year to even afford those houses right now.
No to Towson crime is bad . Ruxton, part lutherville Greenspring Valley. Sparks and Monkton top notch but can be expensive. Northern Baltimore County you can’t go wrong.
DEFINITELY NOT!!! HIgh crime. Terrible schools. Poverty. Just drive through if you get the chance. They have Johns Hopkins University and Johns Hopkins Hospital. There are many good reasons it isn't on this list.
I love historic Ellicott City. I would highly recommend visiting if you get the opportunity. I also vouch for all of the places on this list. Towson had some issues with crime recently with people from Baltimore City venturing out into the county, but it seemed to be a one time thing and it’s still quite nice overall.
I’ve lived in Columbia for over 40 years. Columbia does not have a beach. Its median house is $550k, not $440k. Although expensive, it’s a wonderful place to live! ❤️
I lived there when the Drive In theatre was in business and Ense's served the best Italian food around. Before the DMV was where it is there was an anti-bellum plantation house there, abandoned long ago and as kids we would roam thru it. Moved away in early 70s.@@db2885

I don't know how we got to the point where half a million dollar homes constitutes reasonably low cost of living.
I wish Josh Kelty was an advocate against domestic violence rather than an advocate of domestic violence. I wish he would do his job rather than abuse his position to get men off!
It’s called inflation
So true.
If you want bang for your buck Baltimore may suit your expectations a little better .
Amen!
Well no wonder there all nice places to live if you have money 💰
Before you consider moving to Silver Spring, check out the crime stats. Some of the schools are pretty rough too.

I love my Howard county, Columbia one of the best cities to live. Expensive but nice!
I grew up right outside of Columbia, in Laurel its no better, just a bunch of pretentious snobs
@Sandalphonn spoken like a jealous Laurl trailerpark jabroni
I hate Columbia. Very racist city.
Damn...you consider half a million to be "low cost of living?"
Compared to DC it is
We love Howard County. Terrific schools and other county services. We live in the “boonies” adjacent to Ellicott City so we have country (horses, fields and nature) close to city activities like aquariums, museums… And driving or metro to DC is day trip doable.

I'm going to move here soon, My cousin lives in the Towson area as a fitness instructor
I live in columbia its nice.
Columbia is great!
It's expensive to buy a home, I can't find a 3 bedroom less than 450,000.00
I was thinking that place too
What zip codes should be considered if looking to move? I heard the area in Columbia around the mall are seeing rising crime rates.

quite a few errors
rockville, they showed a house that would be about 11 million bucks and is in Potomac this site is bs.
I live in colorado and it is beautiful
When it comes to Maryland the Eastern Shore gets little love

Still does. I have some great memories of those times!
Its very nice but the residents sure aren't

Love maryland.great place to raise kids. Great schools in Montgomery County! In Arizona, yuk! Too hot!!
You about gave me an aneurysm with this statement
Very spensive to live
Very beautiful thanks to this video
There are too much misinformation in this video. It even mentions that there is a beach in Columbia. What? Where? Not true.
There are many nice and not so nice places in any state.
In MD be prepared to spend toll money!!
What is Perryville like?
Very quiet. Near the water. Nice in the summer
Used to live there on the Holly Tree farm. Very peaceful, but you need to cross the river to go to Havre de Grace or go north to Elkton to find anything. Perryville does have a 7-11 though.
You left out many places in Maryland that are better than half the places on your list!
Impossible that all these cities are "home to several colleges and universities".
Why do ppl not build their own areas up
Great Video i feel better than Newyork and Washington DC

Thank you for not naming our county and town.

3 out of the 8 cities are in Montgomery County…. Silver Spring, Rockville, and Bethesda. Basically Mo County is the place to be 🤷🏾
Ya but silver spring is ghetto
Naw this person never been around MD obviously mostly Montgomery county that’s what this video tells you

It's been since 2015 that I've visited MD (raised there since I was 8 years old). If you want safety, I'd recommend Frederick or Columbia. Bethesda is also good but you gotta be making over $209k a year to even afford those houses right now.
