The Star Spangled Banner, Babe Ruth and the best blue crab on the planet – a lot of great stuff comes from Maryland. The Old Line State also has the highest per capita income in the nation. Maryland Land for Sale is a slice of Americana at its best.

From the Chincoteague Ponies of Assateague Island on the Eastern Shore to the ancient Appalachian mountain range in the westernmost part of the state; from Ellicott City, an authentic recreation of an 18th century mill town to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt; from Chesapeake Bay which spans 200 miles and drains more than 150 rivers and streams across six states to Piedmont’s gently rolling foothills and natural oak groves, Maryland’s geography and attractions are so diverse that it’s earned the nickname, “America In Miniature.” Maryland has a number of parks and recreation areas, including the C & O Canal Park, a 13-mile stretch along the original towpath of the Chesapeake & Ohio canal. Though the canal is no longer a commercial waterway, many of the original locks, lockhouses and aqueducts are still standing. And though Maryland has no natural lakes since during the last Ice Age the glaciers never made it that far south, manmade Deep Creek Lake is a perfect place for boating, fishing and water skiing.

While much of the state is deep countryside, the Baltimore corridor is densely populated, as are the cities and suburbs surrounding Washington, D.C. where many of federal employees and their families live. Once a major manufacturing town whose industries included steel processing and automobile assembly lines, Baltimore today is a banking, business and health services center for the southern mid-Atlantic region as well as a major American seaport. Johns Hopkins University, located in Baltimore, is one of the leading centers of scientific, medical and engineering research and development in the world. Twenty-six miles to the south lies the historic seaport of Annapolis, the state capital, home to the United States Naval Academy as well as the largest concentration of 18th century architecture to be found anywhere in the nation. Bethesda, closer to Washington, D.C site of the National Institute of Health, ranks high on Forbes Magazine’s annual list of America’s most livable cities, while Silver Spring is a film buff’s Mecca as home to the American Film Institute, the nation’s preeminent movie archives.

Maryland is a small state with big weather – at least in terms of variability. The Eastern Shore and the densely populated areas around Baltimore swelter in the summer in exchange for enjoying temperate winters. But the western part of the state sees winter snows and occasional Nor’easter blizzards.

Maryland’s diversified economy has acted as a buffer against the more devastating effects of the recession that’s gripped the nation since 2008. (Maryland is one of only seven states that still retain an AAA bond rating.) Agriculture and commercial fishing in the Chesapeake Bay are vital to the state’s prosperity just as they have been for over 200 years, but these days it’s the technology sector that’s giving the Old Line State forward momentum. Bolstered by the presence of federal agencies like NASA, NIH and the Goddard Space Flight Center as well as collaborative ventures among institutions of higher educations, government agencies and the private science sector called research parks, Maryland is the fastest growing state in the nation in computer systems design, telecommunications, computer sciences, and biotechnology. When the real estate bubble popped, the drop in Maryland’s property values was never as severe as some of its Mid-Atlantic neighbors. Investing in Maryland Land for Sale is a winning strategy both in the short run and the future to come.
