In the state of Maryland just 15.8 km (9.8 miles) west of the state capital, Annapolis, 39 km (24 miles) south of Baltimore and 39 km east-northeast of Washington, D.C. is a census-designated community called Crofton. The location is ideal since it’s in the middle of the triangle formed by three major roads: Crain Highway, Davidsonville Road, and Defense Highway. Situated in the center is the Crofton Parkway where yearly parades and community events take place. This is also where the neighborhood walks, jogs, or bikes around the loop. Fret not if you feel hungry as Ledo Pizza and Bonefish Grill are ready to fill your tummy. The city was one of the 100 Best Places to Live in the United States back in 2007. So, if you want to experience living in a place they called ‘best’, I suggest you check out these top Airbnb vacation rentals In Crofton, Maryland!
