Excellent summary of both states. I grew up in MD and still love it. I crossed the river and now live in northern VA. It is also very nice. In general, VA real estate is higher in price for the exact same house in MD, but there are exceptions. Both states have excellent schools, but VA has more public universities.
Ooh as someone who lived in both places, thank you for your comment!! I have lived in MD and been in DC for 20 years now. I haven't lived in VA, but I would!
Lol, I can tell you’re from the DMV, “Don’t come for me”. Very professional and knowledgeable. Thank you for representing us. I’m born and raised in DC but purchased my homes in Maryland. I’m retired now and thinking of moving to Richmond, Virginia near my grandchildren in Norfolk, Va.
Haha, I'm actually not from here. Originally Connecticut. Then Atlanta, then Baltimore, then here in 2003. I know a lovely agent in Richmond if you decide to move and need a recommendation!
I had a chance to speak with Mellisa; she is highly knowledgeable about the area and pays attention to the little details needed to determine your next home and, more importantly, the community.
I have lived in NOVA since 87 on and off. Left in 2022. Don't miss the crappy weather, property taxes, crazy traffic, and ridiculously high cost of living.
Having lived in NOVA but explored in depth in MD, I can safely say MD is superior. I love so many of the sleepy and cozy cities there! Frederick is especially beautiful, and undoubtedly one of the most beautiful cities in the country. The little towns scattered about the state are also so pleasant, like Easton, Cambridge, or Cumberland! MD > VA any day
Pretty whimsical, and succinct in your summary. I am in nova now, and have lived in DC as well. Your left lean was pretty funny lol. Maryland legislature is heavily democrat vs Virginia’s that is Republican controlled.
haha. Thanks for watching and for your comment. I'm the least political person I know, I just feel like, can't we all be good people? But I thought it was important to mention for those who do find politics important with respect to where they live.
Thanks for watching. You are incorrect. But I HAVE lived in MD. Never lived in VA. My husband is from Baltimore and would never cross the river. I could live anywhere though, but I'm in DC. I'm pretty vocal about that in some of the other videos.
@@williamthaxtoniii8284 Oh that is crazy! When my husband told me about it, I thought he meant near the actual buildings where the data center are housed. No, it's apparently all over the area that you can hear the hum. It's more obnoxious than I would have expected where he is. It sounds like every light in his parking lot is an LED about to blow out.
I was born and raised in Northern Virginia. Grew up in Loudoun and now live in Fairfax County (Vienna Va). I love the way NoVa has changed. A proud democrat and proud of my NOVA neighbors.
That's awesome! I go back to my hometown in CT and I shudder. It's changed, but not for the better. At least in my eyes. I would guess people who live there don't feel that way. But it's not like the small town it was when I grew up there.
Maryland is a democrat state but we have a Republican governor. Maryland is more of a moderately liberal centre to centre-left state, if you visit New York or California you’ll see that Maryland isn’t as liberal as you think it is. Maryland is Texas compared to New York and California
@@DCRealEstateMama yeah I would describe Virginia as a centre to centre-right state. Virginia has two democrat senators but their governor is a Trump endorsed Republican unlike my governor In Maryland, Trump and my governor are no fans of each other lol
@@DCRealEstateMama the fact that my governor doesn’t support Trump and Trump never endorsed my governor is part of the reason he was able to win 2 terms in Maryland where Trump lost twice
That's awesome! I have videos on Arlington, Alexandria, Alexandria in Fairfax County, McLean. I have several more in the works - Vienna and Oakton are being edited and will be up next week and the week after, then I'll be working on other VA neighborhoods. Please let me know if I can help you in any way! Melissa@MelissaTerzis.com
Just say Northern Virginia when talking about Virginia, because the rest of Virginia is completely different. The rest of Virginia hates northern Virginia even though it’s just 3 counties lol
True! But, my channel is a DC based channel, so I figure most of my viewers realize it's more metro-focused than state-wide. Because the rest of Maryland is for sure totally different too!! Sorry for the confusion, and thank you for watching!
Southern Virginians dont hate Northern Virginians we are too smart to do so. We just half to check people from NOVA from time to time because you all can get quite boujee.
🤔 you must thought this was a intelligent response smh, this exemplifies why SVA joke on NVA, partially because most of you a foreign & corny. You keep mentioning counties nobody cares about how many counties in NVA you have two dozen or more cities with a sizable population in that region.

This is one of the best and most informative real estate videos that we have viewed. We also love your delivery. Many thanks!
Whoa, thank you so much! Please let me know if there is anything I can help with!

Where did you move? We need ideas! :)
I'm from TX and it's the same way. Big difference in the cities compared to the rural areas when it comes to conservative vs liberal areas.
Definitely! Austin is probably the most progressive?
@@DCRealEstateMama I agree
Texas has big conservative areas as well. FT worth would be an example.
I just dig you! thanks for the info.
Thanks!
Another great video. Thank you
Thank you! You're so sweet, and thank you for watching!

I just love MD
I agree
MD has Amazon and many new businesses.
AWESOME VIDEO 📹 👏 👌

I take it you live in NoVa. The way you throw small jabs at maryland gives it away.
Thanks for watching. You are incorrect. But I HAVE lived in MD. Never lived in VA. My husband is from Baltimore and would never cross the river. I could live anywhere though, but I'm in DC. I'm pretty vocal about that in some of the other videos.
The correct answer is West Virginia. But don't move here, we're full.
😂😂😂
I live in Gainesville, with these data centers coming, they are building so much, it’s crazy
Can you hear the buzzing where you live? My son lives in Dulles and you just hear a constant buzzing outside all the time.
@@DCRealEstateMama YES! it actually makes me uneasy, and NO SIGNAL EVER! I used to work in ashburn too, and the Humming is worse there
@@williamthaxtoniii8284 Oh that is crazy! When my husband told me about it, I thought he meant near the actual buildings where the data center are housed.

MD for life ❤.
I'm looking for prectice to learn the names of cities and towns in VA, MD,DC,
Hi, hope this helped!
I was born and raised in Northern Virginia. Grew up in Loudoun and now live in Fairfax County (Vienna Va).
I love the way NoVa has changed. A proud democrat and proud of my NOVA neighbors.

Jefferson Davis highway renamed used to be us route one

Oh totally, but for the area, generally people find MD to be more liberal compared to Virginia.

Maryland votes Democratic because of it's large black population.
@@hitek9too255 Yeah and most blacks live in Prince George’s county and Baltimore city
Maryland is better I’ve lived here all my life we have everything.
What do you have that va doesnt
@@reelfishing47 We have the best flag, beaches, and mountains.
@@Xbox.4388 wrong on everything except the flag beaches are around the same the moutnauns are around the same but va has way more of them
@@reelfishing47 Ok. Are you saying that MD sucks because that’s not true.
@@Xbox.4388 no I'm not saying Maryland sucks
Love Maryland ❤
Yay! It's so great when people love where they live!
Virginia sounds a better option for me and my family 🧐
That's awesome! I have videos on Arlington, Alexandria, Alexandria in Fairfax County, McLean. I have several more in the works - Vienna and Oakton are being edited and will be up next week and the week after, then I'll be working on other VA neighborhoods.

Team Maryland!
I wish NoVA was more conservative. It feels much better in my opinion.

@@adaptreform692 it’s only 4 counties that make up nova lmaoo
🤔 you must thought this was a intelligent response smh, this exemplifies why SVA joke on NVA, partially because most of you a foreign & corny. You keep mentioning counties nobody cares about how many counties in NVA you have two dozen or more cities with a sizable population in that region.
Washington state sucks. I choose Virginia.
Also, southern Virginia is nice and quiet.
@@k9builder You live in Washington State now? Come to the east coast!!
Only readon southern Va do quiet is because the police will lock you up for breathing to heavy.
Play video good info…… other than Montgomery county Maryland sucks😂
I'm crying! Tell us how you really feel!! Thanks for watching and commenting! I really appreciate it!
VIRGINIA IS THE BEST HANDS 👌 ✋️ 🙌 DOWN.
Love it!
