I might have the chance to relocate to Maryland and I am trying to find a place to stay.
I would prefer a small town. I will work between Montgomery and Baltimore.
Montgomery would be my first choice, Baltimore might also be good.
Does anyone commute from Baltimore to Montgomery by car? Is traffic bad?
Thanks

There are a LOT of "small town" like choices between these two.
Few though (if any) are actual legally incorporated towns.

I'll suggest choosing the "small town" like choice where -or VERY near where- the job is located.
At least for the first year be close to the job as you get established there...
and use that time to make some friends and learn your way around.

THEN you can choose a more permanent spot based on YOUR impressions
and the specific logistics of your job and personal relationships.

So... where exactly is the new job located?

You will work between them, or commute between them? Either way, I can safely tell you that the traffic sucks.

That's a bit vague, but that's okay. You should probably be looking at Frederick County in addition to Baltimore or Montgomery County rather than Baltimore. There are quite a few options, but one that comes to mind is Olney / Sandy Spring area as a possible good place to live.

If the job is at Fort Meade or the airport, then Columbia would be a good choice. There are not really any small towns left with booming suburban growth around these area. However, Mount Airy or Sykesville might be commutable.

Where exactly in Montgomery County is your office going to be located? If your office is in Rockville or Gaithersburg I can say that you will have a much longer commute if coming from anywhere on the I-95 corridor. Plus there are very few places that have a small town atmosphere that are equidistant to both places (the closest area that I can think of that would be doable is Laurel thanks to the ICC, and even then you are looking at least a 45 minute commute to Baltimore although there is a MARC train station in town which allows you to take the train in to Baltimore).
