Love It Here - 6/18/2014
First off yes the cost of living, particularly housing, is expensive. But that is in relation to the rest of the country. Compared to the DC burbs is a bargain. The average home price is high because there are a lot of million dollar homes.
As far as quality of life this is the best place I have ever lived and it's not even close. Having grown up in Montgomery County (DC burb) and having lived "life on the Beltway" it's literally a breath of fresh air up here. People are nice, crime is virtually non-existent (we don't lock our doors)and the area is beautiful. Instead of traffic I drive past rolling farmland. Not too country and for sure not too city Mt Airy has most of what we need. If I need a Home Depot or a shopping mall there are plenty of options 20 minutes away in several directions. But for everyday life, and dinner out occasionally, Mount Airy has all we need.

Mount Airy, Maryland - 9/12/2006
It was once quite bucholic. And there are still many farms, and I can personally attest to nice gardening and hiking in this area. Mt Airy is a hub for the commuters to Washington DC, Baltimore and even Frederick MD. It has gotten progresively more crowded and expensive as the DC and Baltimore commuters push outward from Baltimore, Howard and Montgomery Counties. The living here is still very good. You have the Mountains due West and the Ocean due East. It's temperate. I have been here for 22 years, and am now thinking of downsizing and destressing from the
