All of the neighborhoods are relatively quiet. Even though Columbia is technically a city, aside from Merriweather, it’s fairly quiet at night. You’ll hear a little more noise around the village centers or in shopping areas, but not a lot.

With your budget, you should be able to find a SFH in a quiet neighborhood pretty much anywhere in Columbia.

As someone who lives less than a mile from Merriweather, even that's not so bad. We have young children and the concerts never pose a problem for their sleep. Traffic is sometimes an issue before and after the show. And sometimes you get to hear a band you like play while you take the trash out!

Hi neighbor! Yeah, the free concerts are a bonus. :D You're right that it's not too loud outside of the Merriweather district, but it's probably the only part of Columbia where noise (aside from BWI takeoffs/landings) that there's even a noticeable amount of noise at night.
