The Land of Pleasant Living
Dubbed the "land of pleasant living," life is indeed good in Anne Arundel County, the 83 rd county with the highest income in the nation. Maryland as a whole is a well-to-do state (it regularly ranks among the country's Top Ten Wealthiest) and Marylanders are even luckier - not only do most of them get higher salaries, but the cost of living in the state isn't as high as in other similarly well off ones.
Though Anne Arundel County homes for sale are priced higher than the national average, the low cost of living, booming economy and a below the national average unemployment rate negate the added cost. Being one of Maryland's top job-generating counties has also contributed to its prosperity.
It's not just the area's affluence that makes Anne Arundel County a great place to live, of course. It's actually secondary to other more important factors like the county's invaluable heritage and history, the excellent quality of life, and the closeness to such major economic, political and cultural centers as Baltimore and Washington, D.C.
With a coastline stretching out more than 500 miles, the county is well known for boating and other water activities like crabbing, fishing and sailing. And don't miss the exciting Volvo Open Race that kicks off from Annapolis every four years. The fun isn't just on the water though - the county also boasts a multitude of more than 70 parks and nature reserves that offer a host of recreational activities from tai-chi classes to wilderness challenge camps.
