JUst Replying to say thanks so much! Good to knOw of all this stuff! IS renting or housing costs going to be an issue? MY to-be-coworkers have given me a heads up that the naval presence keeps prices stable to high, but some have warNed thAt prices the MomEnt are crazy! (plan is to rent the first year or so—just me my wife and our daughter who is homeschooled so we’re flexible on location but would prefer something nice or even by some water).
ps forgive crazy typos — doing this on PHone and it’s unUsually triCKy dUe to distractions)

Other than that? Northern St. Mary's is nice, and still pretty much rural. Southern, meaning south of Lexington Park, also nice, where the Potomac River and The Chesapeake Bay converge. The 7th Distinct area has probably the most laid back, easy going people in St. Mary's. God's Country it's called. Got's lots of money? Southern Calvert County is nice, lots of water, where the Patuxent River and the Chesapeake Bay converge. More tributary water ways as well. But not cheap. Nothing, in Calvert County is cheap, inexpensive.
Be prepared to give up all your firearm and self-defense rights you enjoyed in Texas, when you make your journey eastward here. Also, that independent Texan spirit, doesn't really go over too well. Speaking one's mind and standing up for oneself is frowned upon. You like taxes? If so you are really going to like it here. Name a tax, fee, surcharge, tariff, yup, we've got it. We scored 46 out of 50 states for the cost of doing business. It's a race to the bottom here and the democrats love to run in races, and cheat doing it as well.

Maybe. I understand Houston to have high housing costs compared to other cities/areas of Texas, so you might not notice a big difference. I know it's crazy expensive (comparatively) to live in Austin and Dallas, so I imagine Houston is roughly the same. You shouldn't have a big sticker shock.
What you will notice is the Maryland state income tax.
Rental rates are pretty high and rental properties are in high demand, hence scarce. So the info you got from your to-be-coworkers is accurate. Rentals in the Ridge, Park Hall, St. Inigoes, Dameron, Scotland areas are particularly scarce since that area is less densely populated and developed. But that's where you'll be within the easiest commute from the college too. A friend and business colleague works at the college and he lives in the Tall Timbers/Piney Point area...another good place to look although then you've got the Great Mills traffic bottleneck to deal with every day.
....and don't forget to mention Scotland is haunted as all get out.............more ghosts than people

I gave out copies of this one Christmas:
And a search of "haunted maryland" will bring up a number of books on Southern Maryland hauntings.

Speaking which I saw that they've released a some sort of Moll Dyer liquor. Spotted it in ABC when the boy and I were in there picking up six packs.

Judging by all the good natured ribbing, it seems like this is a friendly place.
Undoubtedly a good sign!
Really, a great sign.
Good group of people seems to gather here.
On the other hand, I am confused by the fact that y’all seem to refer to your locales by county — this will take some adjustment.
It occurs to me to ask why the emoji-vomiting.
Seems like I missed something there...
By late July I should be a somd resident,
And can maybe participate better in all this.
Clearly there’s a lot of history here, and I
Know or think it could be fun to contribute!
But until then I will take you all up.
I will likely ask for recs these next weeks.
‘Till then, thanks so much!
Cool people, lots of jokes, good info so far!
Hit me up if you have any questions for me!
(Even though I cant imagine what they’d be...)
See ya’ real soon!!

Suspect secretly uploaded videos of men using the bathroom to porn site, cops say
An Anne Arundel County man is facing an array of charges for allegedly secretly recording men using a bathroom on the St. Mary’s College campus and then uploading the videos to a pornography site.
Hollywood is nice. Right next door to California!
But that's a bit out of your way.
@Gilligan has more than a swelled head. Think of the Dos Equis commercial of the "The Most Interesting Man in the World" to understand this.
SG fawning all over my coworker Gilligan is not worth her bribe of strawberry shortcake.
