Living in a bustling suburb by BWI
Originally getting its name from the valleys of ferns that populated this South Baltimore suburb, Ferndale today is populated by something else: commercial industry and residences. With the Baltimore/Washington International Airport to the west and big-box shopping to the east, the area has become highly trafficked. “It’s definitely loud, but it’s great for people who work at the airport,” says Nancy Smith, a Realtor at Coldwell Banker Realty with 25 years of experience in the Baltimore region. “And there’s easy and convenient access to the beltway.” Residents can take advantage of Interstate 97 which cuts through town or catch the light rail for a quick jaunt into the city, just 10 miles north.
Ferndale received its name in 1921.

The area I live in is filled with big chain stores and restaurants and there is no room for small local businesses. I have access to everything I need, but I wish small business entrepreneurs had better opportunities. These kinds of stores often provide better services.

When I was growing up there were very few kids to play with. Now I see there are a lot more families moving here. It's nice to see there is a great mix of older and younger families.

Minimum wage employment is up but it is barely enough to pay the bills-often part time. Fast food and chain stores hire the most.
