Costly Housing
-
2/19/2008
Housing can cost quite a bit in this area. Townhomes will often sell for a price that could easily get a single-family home with garage elsewhere. Some people believe this is because restrictions on sprawl make developable land more valuable, but I think it is already quite valuable because of our proximity to Annapolis, Baltimore, and Washington, DC. All three are within a short commute via very accessible roads. The housing is also more dense and concentrated for a suburban area, with smaller lots and more townhomes and condominiums than other locales. The housing may not be cheap, but high median household incomes here show people are willing to pay for a great location and quality of life.
