[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Culture is different, too. Could be a plus, could be a negative, but definitely take stock of what life there is a like.[/quote]

It's more middle class than this area. We don't really have a middle class so I'm not used to interacting with people who are.

Plus, it's pretty rural. [/quote]

Some places may be, but there is also a lot of money. People are more low key about it. Sailing and waterfront properties are not inexpensive.

It is more rural. People live here because they prefer a less urban atmosphere than DC or Baltimore; or are from here. Finally, Annapolis is culturally aligned to Maryland and not DC. Places like Rockville, are DC suburbs. It's a very different mindset. [/quote]

OP here:  Appreciate all of the feedback and insight.

Lots of comments about the culture of Annapolis.  Can anyone elaborate on difference between MoCo and Annapolis culturally?  What does it mean to say it's "culturally aligned to MD and not DC"?[/quote]

Once you get beyond the rich preppy boating people, it reminds me a lot of the part of Pennsylvania where I grew up. People are mostly white, have lived in the same place a long time, aren't that well educated or well off, are politically conservative, and are kind of provincial.[b] Go hang out at the Annapolis mall and compare to Bethesda or Rockville[/b].[/quote]

Annapolis Mall is not even technically in Annapolis (it has an Annapolis address but not  within city limits).

Most people in Annapolis are actually pretty well off and well educated.  The provincial people you are thinking about are actually from places like Glen Burnie.[/quote]

FYI, this response is a perfect example of the culture I'm talking about.

Provincialism (yes, it is a provincial town, sorry) + snobbery + complete obliviousness to this contradiction.
