Living Well
Say YES to Living Well!
St Mary's has been called the "Land of Pleasant Living" and it's true. In addition to the strong economy and career opportunities, there are good schools, safe communities and plenty of open space for recreation and exploration.
Wharfs and waterfronts, markets and farm stands, music and art, fresh catch and locally raised, wineries, and distilleries, trails for paddling, walking, cycling, Colonial sites , churches, plantations and lighthouses tell the heritage of the region while manned and unmanned aviation point to its future.
Close in but far away…. 60 miles South of Washington DC , Old Town Alexandria and Historic Annapolis , St Mary's offers a rural setting with close proximity to more urban options.
