Frederick
This charming town just 45 miles northwest of Washington, D.C. has been named one of the nation’s top-10 cities for remote workers thanks to its lightning-fast high-speed internet, diverse community and co-working spaces. This mid-sized city is one of the state’s best known hotspots for dining, and has nearby access to hiking trails at state and national parks in the area.
On the Western side of Maryland sit Frostburg and Cumberland, two charming small towns. Locals enjoy a lower cost of living and nearby access to some of the state’s best outdoor assets like mountain ranges for hiking and Deep Creek Lake, a favorite year-round destination offering skiing in the winter and boating in the summer. Talk about a great place to telework.
Want access to everything that big, tech-centric cities offer without sacrificing your entire paycheck to rent? Check out Baltimore, which offers a lower cost of living than many large cities. In Baltimore, you’ll not only have access to great restaurants, cultural institutions and nightlife, you’ll be in the heart of the East Coast, with nearby access to other big cities to explore like New York and Washington, D.C. And if you’re a jet-setting remote worker, you’ll appreciate BWI airport and the three other airports in our region.
