Bel Air (Maryland)
Bel Air is a small, historic city located about 45 minutes from Baltimore and 1.5 hours from Philadelphia. Its proximity to the Chesapeake Bay is a huge attraction for folks who enjoy being near water and having easy access to one of the country’s most valued waterways.
Bel Air’s downtown has recently been renovated, with various art and culture sites as well as an aquarium! The Ma & Pa Heritage Trail, one of Maryland’s most scenic trails, is also located here.
Another great thing is that 39.1% of Bel Air’s residents are seniors. This represents a sizable proportion of the population, comparable only to one other municipality in the United States. Because of the town’s significant number of elders, much of the economy revolves around catering to the elderly.
Despite its tiny size, Bel Air features one of Maryland’s top cultural districts. Downtown hosts regular theater, classical music, and jazz performances. In the warmer months, open-air performances are common, and galleries host interesting events almost daily.
