Questions Possibly Related to Brentwood, MarylandProvided By Y! Answers
Which city is the better place to live Laurel or Bowie Maryland?
Question:
I am considering moving to one of the two cities to live. I do not have any kids, but I do have a large dog to consider. So any information about rentals, things to do, resturants, neighborhoods or anything at all would be greatly appreciated. Also if anyone has any opinions about near by cities or towns that are also nice I am open to suggestions. I will be working in Brentwood so I would like to keep my travel time under 30 minutes.
Answer:
I think both towns themselves are similar, so the major difference is that
Laurel is closer to Baltimore
Bowis is closer to Annapolis
Both are equidistant from Washington.
I would pick Bowie because Baltimore is such a large town that you are GOING to take some extra time to get in and out, so the extra drive from Bowie won't make that much difference. But if you want to bop into Annapolis for dinner, it's easy from Bowie, considerably longer from Laurel. Does that make sense?

Can anyone tell me about Olney, Maryland?
Question:
In April I will be moving to the DC Metro area and will be working in Brentwood. I have heard Olney Maryland is a nice place to live, but I don't know much about the area. So I am interested in any information anyone could provide me. Thank you.
Answer:
Olney is very nice. It is located at the intersection of Georgia Avenue (Rt. 97) and Rt. 108. A very nice subdivision is called Olney Mill with all types of homes.
Olney is a short drive to the Shady Grove station of the Metro. You can park your car at Metro for $4 per day and take the Metro to Brentwood which is also on the Metro. It does not take 2 hours each way to commute like another posting said.
Being in Montgomery County, there are good schools in the Olney area.
You can also check out the community of Derwood for homes. That is just off of Muncaster Mill Road which goes right to Olney.
Call any of the major realtors to send you information. You can also get information in the Saturday real estate section of the Washington Post for housing prices. They are not cheap and run around $450,000 and up for single family homes.
I would hope you are going to take a house-hunting trip before you move so you know the area before you buy.
