Is Laurel good for remote workers?

I'm a teacher here and Rent is about $1,497/month for a decent place. The median home value here is around $272,300, which seems about average. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Is this normal for Laurel? TIA!
