Elkton is a charming, compact riverfront town in northeastern Maryland that makes an easy, comfortable base for multi‑week assignments — walkable historic downtown, waterfront trails, kayaking/fishing, weekly markets and a handful of cafés and breweries keep your downtime varied. Affordable rents and a relaxed pace mean you can recharge between shifts without feeling stuck.
Plus, larger scenes are close by — about 30 minutes to Wilmington and roughly an hour to Philadelphia or Baltimore for weekend museums, restaurants and big‑city nightlife.
