In very early 2021, I found the Oakland CVS had vaccines available (only place in MD at that time) and fell in love with GC. The pace and quality of life is second to none and when I had the chance to move last year, I went from not having an idea I'd be here...to moved in, in less than a week. The area around Deep Creek is spectacularly expensive so have my eye on Alpine Lake WV across the state line which gives you a similar vibe but at a third of the cost. And of course, the night-and-day snowfall compared to my old stomping grounds in Germantown was the primary driver for the move (something that my spouse still rolls his eyes at) lol. IMBY I ended up with 43" last winter which, for here, is pathetic but as I am a frequent visitor to this Board and felt eeeeeeeveryone's pain, is a lightyear ahead of DC metro.
