Westminster Reviews

Westminster Main Street is the best part of the area, inclusive local cafes and restaurants have been booming back up since COVID-19 restrictions came up. There are cute shops and during good seasonal weather farmer's markets and pop up events occur. It is a college town area so it is filled with young college-aged people who are all pretty lively and well mannered. The job market is pretty self sufficient because of this as well.
However, the people on the outer parts of the city are mainly White closed-minded conservative and exclusive thinking as well as beliefs that make it harder for people of color and sometimes younger women. Their public schools are going backwards. De facto segregation, curriculum in the stone age, and bans on the pride flag as well, which makes it much worse for queer people in the area. These issues arise in safety as well how family friendly you deem this. But at least there is no traffic and new roads to drive away on.

Westminster is a nice little town where you can do anything that you could ever want. You can play basketball, skateboard, or run out in town, or you can play piano, mandolin, read, or study while at your cozy home! There are so many possibilities to choose from each day. You will never have a dull day in Westminster! From the moment you wake up to the moment you go to sleep, you will surely have many points of excitement along the way. The people are as nice as they can be. Playing basketball with complete strangers at the park is like playing with lifelong friends, and you will never feel out of place. While in Westminster, you will have your families home, but the town itself is like a second home to all of us. If you are in the mood to dine out, then you have many choices. There are chain restaurants, as well as many of Westminster’s finest locally owned restaurants. Westminster is a community built by the people, where people are in best interest.
Westminster is a great small town in Carroll County, Maryland. There are lots of good restaurants all across the town and the public school system ranks among the best in Maryland. There are plenty of activities to get kids involved in within our community. As a teenage girl, I feel totally safe walking the streets at night, there is nothing to be concerned about here! It is a rural area with lots of farmland, and country music plays everywhere. I highly recommend living in Westminster Maryland if you enjoy the small town atmosphere!
