My husband may be transferring his job to Sparrow's Point, MD, which is right on a small tip off the Chesapeake Bay - southeast of Baltimore.

Any advice on towns within a 25 mile radius that have great schools, access to good shopping/services, and with a somewhat diverse population of nationalities, including some Jews, etc? I thought Columbia or surrounding areas might be a good option, but do not know the area at all. We are looking to spend about $600K on a home.

Thank you!!

Default Columbia is the Place

"great schools, access to good shopping/services, and with a somewhat diverse population of nationalities, including some Jews" pretty much sums up Columbia. IT is probably the most racially-diverse area in Maryland, not counting the DC suburbs, which you should not consider unless a 3-hour roundtrip commute is your cup of tea.

You should focus on Columbia and Ellicott City, which is just east of Columbia. If you have any specific questions, let me know.
