Maryland is a Mid-Atlantic state that's defined by its abundant waterways and coastlines on the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean.

Baltimore has all the amenities of a large city that you would expect. The cost of living in Baltimore is considerably less than other major east coast cities. Baltimore has more than 250 neighborhoods, each with a unique personality. Fells Point is one example (near the Maryland Division Office), famous for its maritime past and great nightlife, restaurants, coffee shops, music stores, boutiques, and more. Baltimore attractions within walking distance from the office include the Inner Harbor (a historic seaport that is now a major tourist attraction), the National Aquarium, Harborplace, Maryland Science Center, Power Plant Live, Port Discovery, several historic ships, and more!

Year-round, Baltimore has a whole host of annual events and ethnic festivals. The Preakness (second race in the Triple Crown) takes place at the Pimlico Racetrack. Baltimore is world famous for its crab houses. Getting friends and family together to "pick" freshly steamed crabs is a Maryland tradition! Oriole Park at Camden Yards (home of the Orioles), M&T Bank Stadium (home of the Ravens), and CFG Bank Arena (Baltimore's civic center) are within walking distance from the office.
