Salisbury MD is it that boring....... (Crisfield, Princess Anne: for sale, mortgage, new home)

[ricutie]

I have been reading posts that Salisbury MD is boring, nothing to do... etc.... AS noted I am interested in the area to purchase a home in the future. My enjoyment includes going to the library, yard sales and thrift stores, and gardening. I also like shopping at discount stores, walmart and any other in comparison. I enjoy going out out once a week for good chinese food, bbq, and seafood. My husband enjoys fishing in addition to what I enjoy. Do they have any festivals or fairs in the summer or fall? Do they have most of this in salisbury? I am not looking for much for entetainment..... just a big old home and some land, not too rural maybe a neighbor or 3 living on the same street....... os can anyone give me an idea what its like........

You just described Salisbury to a T. What you like is what's there. Just be aware that there are areas in Salisbury that are less desirable than others.

I guess I may leave a boring life (L) but seems salisbury area seems up to my needs. Do you know anything about the old farmhouses that are for sale around 85-110k? I seen some online ealtor sites with about 1/2 acre or more of land. Are these literally termite infested pieces of junk ready to be torn down or just homes that need some tlc, rugs, paint maybe a little spackle on the walls? I just want to sell my home down the line when I can buy another one outright without a mortgage and incredibly high taxes. If you are not up to par on this topic maybe you can ask around to see what others have to say about these type of homes..thanks

To be honest, I don't know too much about the homes in this area except what I see as I visit my daughter in Salisbury and other family in Crisfield. I always wondered about some of the homes in this area. To me, many looked unsafe, unoccupied, and basically falling down. However, what I think is an abandoned building, actually would have someone living in it. Some of the houses also look no bigger than a large shed.

On the other hand, my BFs parents just bought in Princess Anne and got a brand new home for $175,000 on about 2 acres (really nice house). I guess you would just have to make sure you see pictures of these places first and take it from there.
