One of the strongest anchors any community can have is a great university. Salisbury, Maryland, the largest city on Maryland’s eastern shore, has a doozie.
For the fourth consecutive year, Kiplinger’s named Salisbury University one of its Top 100 “Best Values in Public Colleges” for 2012, giving SU kudos for delivering “quality education at an affordable price.” There’s more: for the 15th consecutive year, the university was named one of US News & World Report’s Top Public Universities in the North.
The county seat of Wicomico County, Salisbury is only a two-hour drive from Washington DC, Baltimore and Philadelphia, and only one-half hour from the ocean in the Chesapeake Bay region.
Apartment renting in Salisbury offers many perks, including the free Salisbury Zoo, the annual Salisbury Festival, the Sea Gull Century 100-mile bicycle tour and the Autumn Wine Festival in Pemberton Park.
The university is not alone in the awards department; the city received the All-America City Award in 2010, based on three projects: the revitalization of Rose and Lake Street neighborhoods, the establishment of a Youth Leadership Academy, and homeless initiatives that resulted in a new shelter.
