    "I have lived in Taneytown for almost 12 years. It’s quiet and beautiful farmland. The community activities are fun for our children as well as my husband and I. There are plenty of areas to walk our dogs and play with them. The kids enjoy the community park and pond. "

    "Nothing it is very dangerous and is not a very good place to raise your kids I would not recommend this neighborhood to anyone at all. You have a library though and there are a lot of shops and stores and a pharmacy and a dollar store "

    "Taneytown is clean and beautiful. It's a Main Street community - over 250 years old - with so much history, so many old and vibrant churches, so much in shopping and eating out. Such a small town yet with two large grocery stores, wine & liquor, several service stations, auto mechanics, hardware stores, doctors, clinics, pharmacy, dentists, parks, library & its own Hallmark store! Florists and gift boutiques, antiques and tea rooms! Great food - even Chinese! Westminster is only 10-15 mins away with all the huge stores - Sears, Kohls, Boscovs, Home Depot, Lowes - and malls and cinema. Drive-ins - like many!, restaurant chains including Sakura, the Olive Garden, Ruby Tuesday, and more than I can remember ... and elegant dining like Maggie's! The town is so great, and is it surrounded by more beautiful historic communities. Scenery and commerce. I can't even begin to mention all the great places I enjoyed ... oh, the restaurants in Thurmont and in Frederick, in Hanover and in Gettysburg. And the great boutiques for shopping! I moved to CV from Silver Spring and am returning for only one reason ... to be closer to my children as I age and need surgery. The drive between my Carroll Vista and Silver Spring homes is a beautiful and easy route. I am not settled into the new place yet, but I do love being so close to my kids. I have been alone since 1979; living in Carroll Vista was a nice change from my quiet life. So many clubs and activities, special events and travel. A huge clubhouse (15,000sf) and indoor and outdoor pools but all the other facilities - banquet room(s), dance floor, kitchen - but being one hour from my family became too much for me. I am not settled, but I am happier! I can not imagine anyone not loving Taneytown and its residents. Sometimes I wish I had separated my life from my children's lives so I could continue to enjoy what I had there! What I have listed here doesn't even scratch the surface. Come and enjoy this great town!"
