Relocating to Northrop Grumman?  If you're trying to decide where to live, let me help by giving you some idea of what to expect for your morning and evening commute.

 

No matter where you live in the area, you probably won't need a map or a GPS to get to work the first day, unlike most commuters in the Baltimore-Washington area.  That's because Northrop Grumman is located near Thurgood Marshall Baltimore-Washington International Airport (BWI), so directional signs are clearly posted on all the major highways in the area.  The hardest part of your new commute may be between your driveway and the main road.

Then, just follow the signs to BWI from I-95, MD- 295 (Baltimore Washington Parkway), I-695 (the Baltimore Beltway), I-495 (the Washington Beltway) or I-97 (between Annapolis and Baltimore).  As you approach the airport, follow signs to the Hotel District, which has grown around the Northrop Grumman site in recent years.

Northrop Grumman is between Baltimore and Washington (much closer to Baltimore), so it's likely you will commute in the opposite direction of most people and have minimal rush-hour traffic.  And THAT is good news for you, since rush-hour is NOT a pleasant experience for many of your new neighbors.

Keep in mind that Howard and Montgomery County commuters to Northrop Grumman are traveling West-East, and they WILL have the sun in their eyes, morning and night, every day the sun shines, as long as you live there and work at Northrop Grumman.  You won't face this commuting issue if you live in Anne Arundel County.

 

Here are the commuting times and distances from Baltimore City and some Anne Arundel County communities where you may consider living:

What not a single comment?  Not after I've posted over 100 comments in the past two days?  Not one recriopcating commenter?  I'm crushed!  I know this topic is of ZERO interest to ActiveRainers, but don't we all reciprocate on posts that are of zero interest at times?  Well, maybe this will get a second chance if I push it to the top of the group with my own comment.
