Best Places to Live 2010 - Top 100: City details: Columbia, MD - from MONEY Magazine

2. Columbia/Ellicott City, MD
Hundreds flock to performances of the Chesapeake Shakespeare company at an open-air theater in Ellicott City.


WINNER
Top 100 rank: 2
Population: 155,000
Unemployment: 5.2%
Compare Columbia to Top 10 Best Places

Ellicott City boasts grand homes, a lovely 18th-century downtown, and lots of restaurants. Columbia offers a wide range of housing, tons of parkland, and a major music venue. But those varied amenities are far from the only reasons this duo has risen to No. 2 from No. 8 in 2008. It's also an economic powerhouse with a jobless rate just as enviable as Eden Prairie's. The nearby National Security Agency and the Fort Meade Army base together account for more than 8,000 jobs, and the government plans to move thousands more positions there by next year. Baltimore and D.C. are within commuting distance (30 and 60 minutes, respectively).
As for housing, the foreclosure rate is one of the lowest in Maryland, yet homes are affordable -- by Northeast standards, anyway. Factor in excellent schools and a diverse population (17% of residents are black, 14% Asian), and you can see why this place has become a magnet for families. --Donna Rosato

UMBC is located in the Catonsville area but other than the university there isn't much around. I'd suggest looking at the Annapolis area. It's about a 40 minute drive; however, there are a number of young and single professionals in that area. (Check out Old Town Annapolis.) Baltimore is a fun city but has a completely different vibe than the DC/MoCo area.
