I'm an outsider considering moving my family to the DMV. I want to live somewhere family friendly and affordable on $300k income. Can someone run down the differences between MD and VA? Is one going to be cheaper?

Why are you moving here? [b]Just pick whichever gives you a better commute[/b] because traffic here is a nightmare and will make you miserable.[/quote]

+1 It's really not a MD vs VA choice. You can find various types of neighborhoods in either state here in the DMV. Consider your commute as a high priority. Then think about other factors like schools and park areas. I don't think the tax difference is so great that it would move a decision. You can't buy your time. I live in VA, but my son lives in MD so we visit there. I like my neighborhood here in VA, but he also lives in a nice area up there. I think people who live in MD may have a bit more pride in their state (just what I have noticed), but that might not matter. I feel like MD has lots of access to outdoor activities (the bay, mountains) if that matters to you. The universities might matter, but it is not a shoe in to get into W&M or UVA. And UMD College Park is a very good school. Plus you are close to PA which has many good colleges. Virginia does not have a robust private school system at the college level. PA does. [/quote]
