We got stationed at Fort Meade and was just wondering if anyone knew of which neighborhoods are good/bad, expensive/affordable, etc.? What housing is like on base? Or about how pcsing up there will go or ANY info about Maryland and Fort Meade at all!!
Thanks!! :)

Hey my husband is stationed at fort meade now, leaving thursay though. Base housing isn't that bad, the immediate area outside the base is gross but gets better when your further out. Glenn Burnie, Arundal Mills(hanover), Severn arn't bad Keep out of Laural,odenton, some of Jessup kinda ghetto. Traffic is Horrible down there especially at rush hour so be carefull if your going out to look at apartments.
Being close to baltimore and washington is nice, lots of stuff to do there, not really much around meade area though.
Is your husband a CT or MC?? they are the only two rates I've ever seen there for navy lol. Being on an Army base is interesting we learned alot about the army while there. I chose not to move there because I was finishing up college but i got down there a couple weekends.
