That'd be out rt 32. The area between 95 and Ft Meade (Army base in the area) can get really congested, as can 97 down into Annapolis. Light traffic -and depending on your start/end points - probably around 30 minutes. Rush hour, more like 50 (but can vary).

This is helpful. I ask about Annapolis specifically only because my current company in CA has a location there, but I don’t know that I wanna live in Annapolis.

One other note Annapolis is expensive. I'm new to Columbia so I don't know everything, but a lot of people love it and we chose to buy here. Howard and Montgomery counties are really diverse. Painting with a broad brush, its less diverse the closer to Annapolis you get and headig further south or east. I've heard good things about odenton and Crofton. Laurel seems more hit or miss in terms of safety. Prince Georges county has some hit more miss locales too. South of Anne Arundel county and you get rural quickly. Same with north and west of Ellicott city.

Come visit! We have crab cakes and old bay! Direct flights from LAX to BWI are a thing.

Appreciate the feedback. I’m actually planning a trip next month, yes in the winter lol, jumping in with both feet so I can see how I manage.

Yea 32 between 95 and bw parkway is not fun. Those 4-5 miles are the slowest of my afternoon commute
