1)Annapolis/Severna Park area. Offers the shortest drive but highest tax burden. Proximity to the Chesapeake is a plus if you like the water.
2) York Pa. Longer drive 90-100mins, lower taxes & cost of living in a smaller town.
3) Dulles area which includes Ashburn/Leesburg/Purceville & areas North not including Maryland. Medium-high cost of living, moderate tax burden with decent schools. Drive can be 50-100mins depending on specific location.

There are a handful who live in the DC/Alexandria/Arlington area but traffic here can present a real challenge along with the much higher cost of living. Might be ok for a single guy or gal though.
