Salisbury, Maryland is a lively, affordable small city with a college-town energy (Salisbury University), a walkable historic downtown of restaurants, breweries and arts, strong healthcare employers, and easy access to rivers, parks and trails for after-shift recreation.
Weekends are never dull — you’re a short drive from Ocean City’s beach and boardwalk and the wild shores of Assateague, plus kayaking, festivals and local markets across the Eastern Shore so multi-week stays can feel like a true mini-residency rather than being stuck in a quiet outpost.
