Bel Air

Bel Air, Maryland, founded in 1780, is considered one of the best places to live in the Old Line state. It's the Harford County seat and is located slightly inland of Chesapeake Bay - just 45 minutes from Baltimore proper.

Baltimore is the most populous city in Maryland. With hundreds of distinct districts that have their own unique and storied histories, it's known as a "city of neighborhoods." Full of public statues and monuments, nearly one third of Baltimore's buildings (over 65,000) are designated as historic - more than any other U.S. city.

Famous for its seafood, performing arts, beautiful parks and sailing opportunities, the city also appeals to baseball fans as the birthplace of Babe Ruth and home of the Baltimore Orioles.
