Though small and sandwiched between more well-known states, what Maryland lacks in size it certainly makes up for in character. State pride forms a big part of the culture in Maryland as locals are bursting with excitement to share the distinctions of their unique state. With its world-famous blue crab, annual jazz festival, stress-busting sunsets, and tight-knit community life, apartment living in the Maryland DC Metro has tremendous appeal while offering incredible access to the commerce of the nation's capital.

Many people living in the Maryland-DC metro prefer to commute to nearby Washington DC for work, taking advantage of higher salaries and world-class colleges and universities. However many opportunities can also be found closer to home. Maryland is an important center for research particularly in the biotechnology sector, and many job opportunities are also available in the health, hospitality, and gaming technology industries. The Bethesda area has a brimming reputation for top-earning jobs and consequently has recently developed a series of office towers offering across the board employment opportunities. In the 2000 Census, Bethesda was the most educated town in the US and to this day is considered a high net-worth area. The apartments in Bethesda were designed to match the demographics, and offer many conveniences and perks.

Silver Spring, being slightly closer to Washington DC, has become an important business hub for commuters or those who work in the area itself. Due to its convenient location, Silver Spring is more populous than other Fairfield apartment locations but this is complemented by the many recreation parks that provide space to get away from it all. However, if total removal from the city bustle is desired, not far from Silver Spring is Wheaton Regional Park which is a center of nature. Wheaton as a location itself can offer quieter living than its surrounding and suits those requiring a more balanced lifestyle.

Of the incorporated cities in the Maryland-DC metro region, Gaithersburg is especially charming. A contrast between old and new divides the city, east to west and by embracing this, the area has won prizes for its communities. Shoppers find a great love in Gaithersburg as do those seeking work in the information technology sector.

With each neighborhood so different, the DC Maryland Metro area has something to offer everyone and truly embraces state pride.
