Five counties, two states, one very short commute between them.
Start with a county, then read the towns. Each one suits a different kind of buyer.

The short version
Who each end of the map suits
Carroll County is home base, farmland, small downtowns and families who left Baltimore and never went back.
Baltimore and Howard counties are where the commute gets shortest and the prices get highest, with condos and townhomes carrying most of the first-time buyer demand.
Adams and York counties, over the Pennsylvania line, are where the same money buys noticeably more house, provided you understand what changes at the border.
Not sure which of these is actually yours?
Tell me where you work and what you need in a house. I'll narrow five counties down to two or three streets.
