Nestled in the forests of Maryland along the North Branch of the Potomac River, Cumberland is a spirited town on the West Virginia-Maryland border. Baltimore Street centers the downtown area. Everything from pizzerias and cafes to museums and convenience stores make up the downtown district. Downtown also houses big-box stores in the Cumberland Crossing Shopping Center. Take a break from shopping by walking along the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Towpath for scenic views of the river. Additional fun is available via the parks, playgrounds, and campsites along the river. While Cumberland is surrounded by rural lands, residents have easy access to surrounding areas thanks to Interstate 68. Farther travel is accessible through the Greater Cumberland Regional Airport, located just across the river in West Virginia. The other parts of Cumberland consist of wooded areas hiding secluded neighborhoods. Renters have an array of affordable apartments to choose from, with the average rent for a one-bedroom apartment around $900.
