Living in Laurel Maryland [PROS AND CONS]

[@corvusheller328]

Laurel and Maryland in general have some amazing parks in my opinion

[@ALEET]

The hospital is terrible I wouldn’t trust them with my life

[@SRambo-hx8sl]

Love me some Laurel, Md. I love the various eateries in this small town. I lived in Ellicott City, Md., which is North of Laurel in the Howard County area. I miss the area because there was so much to do.

[@KuntryFowle]

Ellicott certainly grew on me

[@clarkpj1]

Good fair representation of the area. Lived there in the Howard County part and worked at APL for 35 years.

[@livinginmaryland7837]

Thanks for watching! My father in law has been with APL for 20 years or so

Laurel mall?

How much money u think we need for down payment on a home in laurel preferred single family

[@livinginmaryland7837]

Thanks for watching! Well this can vary a lot depending on situation. But if you are a first time buyer and can qualify for conventional financing, you could likely do 3% down. With an example purchase price of 600k, that would put you needing $18,000 for a down payment. Then closing costs come into play, and the financing would allow the seller to help you offset most of the closing costs. Feel free to give me a call if you would like to discuss in more detail. 410.428.5216

Pasta Plus was great! (in spite of the corny name and location)

[@livinginmaryland7837]

I agree on the name LOL

[@zainsafdar6744]

Great Content Man! What do you think about Glenmont-Wheaton are?

[@_yourbrobrad_1422]

Laural mall has been closed and destroyed for years now. But now it’s a shopping center.

Any recommendations for apartments near physics lab? Thanks

[@livinginmaryland7837]

Most of Columbia would put you really close and west Laurel. Russett community has lots of different housing as well

[@HonestOne]

I "feel" like homes cost more. I think you have given a great review. Taxes are so awful. I'd say don't move here if you can avoid.

[@GDP2012]

Lived in Md, moved to St. Johns County Florida. Best decision ever!!!

[@user-cuplprof]

informative

[@livinginmaryland7837]

Thanks for watching!

[@Ahem2Mark]

I wouldn't say PG county schools are the worst, I am originally from Landover MD, ended up in Lanham MD, I moved with my family after I graduated high school to Laurel MD from Parkdale high.... my 12 nieces and nephews go to school in Laurel it's not the worst.. it could have more, but right now Laurel MD is focused on building making it more popular I've been here 17 years now I somewhat know. Lol no argument just a feed back all respect 💯🌸

[@livinginmaryland7837]

Thanks for the comment! Agreed. I meant, when compared to Howard County within Laurel, in general people tend to prefer HOCO schools. Thanks for watching 👍

[@Ahem2Mark]

@@livinginmaryland7837 no problem, and I understand 😊👍

[@Ahem2Mark]

@April_Spring2015 I do understand you're right 👍 that's the best way to go about it.

[@aubsta1]

Not the worst thanks to Baltimore City Public Schools

[@calliecooke1817]

What you say about P.G. schools is so true, they have gone to hell over the last 40 years. But the example you showed, Ridgecrest Junior High(middle school) is in Chillum, about 15 miles from Laurel, 1/4 mile from N.E. Washington. C'mon, you're in Columbia, you had to go thru Laurel to get to Chillum. Sad to say, but Laurel High, the oldest school in P.G., is actually one of the best in P.G.

[@livinginmaryland7837]

Oops, haha. My video editor added that and I overlooked it. Picture typo ☺️

[@calliecooke1817]

It's all good. I have been viewing your vids because another poster had badly maligned MD. Of course, he is not a resident. I can tell by your accent that you're not native either. But that doesn't matter, almost everyone I know is 2nd generation at best, myself included. The only reason I caught that was because I live in N. Laurel, but grew up in Chillum. Just keeping you honest. I like your content.

[@bmack2110]

How is it there to rent for like a studio or 1 bdrm, is it pretty expensive?

[@livinginmaryland7837]

There’s not many studios it’s mainly condos in Laurel. You can expect anywhere in the range of $1300-$1600 a month for a 1 bedroom 1 bath
