City Profiles

Baltimore, MD

Baltimore is considered Maryland’s economic hub and is the state’s largest city, although small compared to cities like Dallas and D.C. The Baltimore Inner Harbor is the staple of this once seafaring city and is surrounded by the Baltimore Aquarium, the Baltimore Science Center, Visionary Arts Museum and countless outlets to eat and shop. Once you’re done sight-seeing, feel free to find a job!

The medical field is extremely strong in Baltimore. With the University of Maryland Medical Center and Johns Hopkins University Hospital on either side of the city, you can rest assured your health is in good hands.

Another great thing about this city is that it is a short drive away from the nation’s capital, Washington, D.C. Both cities have distinct personalities and different career specialties. However, you can very easily live in one city and work in another! The commuter train from one to another is only $7!

The small, distinct neighborhoods surrounding the harbor area are very affordable and close to the thriving athletic culture that Baltimore emanates.
