Parole, MD 166 Apartments for Rent

"Our eternal love was show the way, / by the fleet of lights out on Annapolis' bay." (- Brooke Marie)

Parole is a small town in Anne Arundel County, Maryland with a population of around 15,900 people. It’s right on the border of Annapolis and effectively acts as a suburb to the state capital. The name came from its former role as a parole camp for the Union and Confederate Prisoners of War – maybe not the most pleasing name for a town, but rest assured it looks nothing like a prison camp today! It’s located right next to the Annapolis Mall and a large medical center, both nice features for a little town to have.
