Baltimore is the 10th largest metropolitan area in the nation and offers a variety of exceptional recreational, educational and residential opportunities.
The Baltimore Symphony, Baltimore Choral Society, Peabody Conservatory of Music, The Baltimore Museum of Art, The Walters Art Gallery and The Peale Museum are located in the city. Many fine universities and colleges, including The Johns Hopkins University, The University of Maryland, Goucher College, Loyola College, Towson State University, Morgan State University and The University of Baltimore are located in the Baltimore area.
Baltimore is home to the Baltimore Orioles, The Baltimore Ravens, The Baltimore Spirit (indoor soccer) and the Baltimore Bandits (ice hockey). Thorough-bred horse racing takes place at Pimlico, home of the renowned Preakness. The downtown area, including Charles Center and Harbor Place, offers a host of unique shops and restaurants, combing innovative architecture with the best of "old Baltimore." A National Aquarium and the Maryland Science Center with its Planetarium are located nearby. Major renovations of historically rich areas such as Fells Point and Federal Hill have occurred recently.
Pre-Broadway productions are often presented at the Morris Mechanic Theater. The Lyric Opera House and Center Stage consistently offer a fine range of productions ranging from Shakespeare to avant grade presentations.
Maryland has been called "America in Miniature" and offers a varied spectrum ranging from "pleasant living" of the Chesapeake Bay and ocean resorts to the rural, forested, mountain areas of Western Maryland. The Chesapeake Bay includes over 400 miles of coastline and is a popular area for boating, water-skiing, swimming, fishing and crabbing. The Atlantic Ocean Beaches of Maryland vary in their offerings from year round luxury resorts to untainted coastline with family oriented cottages. Western Maryland offers primeval forests, natural waterfalls, canoeing in peaceful streams or rapids, a large body of water known as Deep Creek Lake, and mountainous elevations up to 4000 feet affording excellent skiing.
Maryland also offers a number of interesting towns and small cities including Annapolis, its capital rich in colonial heritage and lore, and several unique Eastern Shore Villages which have not changed appreciably since their inception prior to the American Revolution.
In addition, the many cultural attributes of the Nation's Capital are within an hour's drive.
