I used to live in Bowie, MD (eastern-most PG county). I now live in VA. Bowie is probably the nicest part of PG county. The advantages of PG county are:
- relatively inexpesive housing
- closer to the ocean than VA
Disadvantages are:
- Poor Schools
- Higher Tax Rates (taxes on 100K house3 the same as on a 200K house in VA)
- Questionable Police (not a problem unless you are a minority)
To put a more personal spin, when I lived in my town house in
Bowie, I put up with a lot of petty vandalism, issues with noise, etc. For example, in the Tot Lot, during a cleanup, we found things like condoms and crack pipes. I got to think of that as acceptable. In Vienna, VA, none of that happens.
