I am relocating to Columbia Maryland for a job but I don't know that much about the area.Suggestions/opinions

Question

I am really looking for any information dealing with rentals, particularly townhouse rentals, rentals that allow pets (I have a 120 pd choc lab very well trained), the good and bad areas of Columbia as well as any positive or negative things about Columbia in general, resturants, and or the surrounding areas of Columbia that may also be nicer places to live. I've heard that Ellicott City is also very nice. Any information about anything would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Owings Mills (Raven Town!!!!!) is a very cool place too! It's located west of Maryland. About 20 mins away from Columbia. We have two regional parks where you can walk your beautiful dog. These parks are near New Towne (Owings Mills).

Answer 2

Both Columbia and Ellicott City are good choices, with mostly good neighborhoods (I can't think of a single bad block in Columbia but I am sure there is one tucked in there somewhere). Rents will be lower in Ellicott City than in Columbia but Columbia has more restaurants and entertainment choices. Both have good parks and recreational space for you and your dog. In the DC area in general (and technically that's considered DC even though the drive to Columbia is over 45 minutes in light traffic), it's hard to rent a house when you have a dog if you are going through a property manager, so stick with a rental through a private homeowner. The previous poster's suggestion of checking Craigslist is a good idea as is the Washington Post and the Baltimore Sun.

Answer 3

Columbia's a decent place to live. Nicely situated between Washington and Baltimore. I'd have to know where you are working to let you know if it's a good choice.

There aren't many bad neighborhoods in Columbia. I'd look in Craigslist to see what rentals are going for.

Answer 4

in basic terms somewhat historic past lesson to think of approximately. Why did the North beat the South? The Southerners have been better photos. the reason grew to become into the infrastructure. The North had the gun manufacturers and the skill to furnish the troops. speedy forward to as we talk. The eastern and northern u . s . are legislating all the biggest firearm manufacturers South. have been they say the dumb Hillbillies are. reality is important industry is all going South. much less taxes, better climate and wager what a thriving infrastructure for employer. Now Gun industries are being pushed there through rules. so which you have experienced hard artwork, decrease taxes, better climate, good infrastructure and now jobs being compelled South. next you would be listening to the North crying approximately employment dropping and wanting greater tax money to help the unemployed.
