Welcome to “The Free State” – Maryland. Home to endless creeks, estuaries and tiny islands in the Chesapeake Bay. Here, you can cross the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, go to Six Flags America, cross the Mason-Dixon line, go to Annapolis – The Sailing Capital of the World, or visit the site of King Williams School – the first school in America. Filled with history and beauty, public schools that consistently rank as some of the top in the nation, close proximity to the Nation’s capital, and a seemingly never endless supply of high-quality seafood, Maryland may have a higher than average cost of living, but it may be well worth it.
