Laurel, Maryland
Located half-way between Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, this small city of about 22,000 people is an example of a mill town all grown up. Centered around a cotton gin and textile mill, it was truly one of the original company towns.
Housing, education, and health care were taken care of by the mill owners. As the ginning business died out, the town transformed itself into a prime location for people commuting to either of the nearby big cities.
Small Town Feel
Laurel has retained some of that historic charm in its downtown area. But today, it is a town of newer building and manages to keep its small town feel as it grows. You will find many choices when looking for a Laurel apartment. From simple buildings to high rises and complexes with every amenity imaginable, you'll find good value, convenience and a great small town lifestyle.
Riverfest and Horse Racing
Even in such a small town, there's plenty to do. The Laurel Mill Playhouse puts on excellent productions, there is a chorale society and an arts center. If you prefer outdoorsy pursuits, there are plenty of parks and facilities for most sports.
The Patuxent Wildlife Refuge Center can provide afternoons of trails and nature interests.Annually, there's a big riverfest as well as several other festivals. Laurel Park Racecourse offers thoroughbred racing in season and makes a great afternoon out.
Red, Hot & Blue!
Once in your Laurel apartment, you'll want to find out more about some of the town's good restaurants. Sapphire is considered one of the best Indian restaurants around, and for barbeque you must try Red, Hot and Blue! It's great!
There's a spot called Bottom of the Bay which is something of a dive but has really good seafood. The Ramshead Tavern offers up some good eats too. Pasta Plus seems to be everyone's favorite Italian place so try that one.
Sports Saloons
If getting out of your Laurel apartment at night is important, then you have choices there too. Oliver's Saloon is a great place to watch sports and yell for your favorite team. Sidepockets also has a big sporting crowd and many stay for the karaoke later in the evening. For big nights out, there are always the big cities. A lot of younger people who live in Laurel party hard in D.C. around the Dupont Circle area.
