not true. they almost never market it as locust point. the boundary of locust point is very clear. the boundary between riverside and fed hill is a matter of discussion.

you keep saying "low crime" and locust point is the only neighborhood which has crime-free suburbia level of crime. it is also the most suburbish looking and least walkable.

on the other hand, i keep saying "low urban crime". urban areas have higher baseline crime. that's just the price of living among a lot of people and it's true everywhere. harbor neighborhoods have crime levels comparable to urban neighborhoods in "safe cities". but no city is safe for you, clearly. only very low density can produce very minimal levels of crime.

it is very clear that you are, at the bottom, afraid of cities. no crime (oops) in that! it's just a personal preference. but for those who love urban life, harbor area is safe (also: much more urban than roland park + even the dingiest row houses look better inside than most of the beautiful roland park mansions).

Good grief, I've lived in Baltimore for 20 years and my husband is a native, neither of us has ever heard of Riverside nor are we afraid of the city. But we have also lived in other larger cities on the east and west coast, and the crime is much worse in Baltimore, even in the so-called safer neighborhoods -- not sure how anyone actually living and working here would not be aware of that, but apparently you are. People considering moving here for the lower cost of living should be aware of that. Can you live in the city with kids? Of course, but far fewer people chose to do that then in other cities, mostly because of the quality of the schools, relatively high property taxes, and high crime rate.

you haven't heard of riverside because you never lived in the harbor area. that's fine just don't lecture us who live here.

i grew up in Europe (big city in eastern europe), and lived in downtown Philly Pittsburgh Boston (cambridge), arlington and new york (manhattan for seven years). I think i have a pretty good sense about urban kuving in the west coast, thanks.

Interesting, i have lived in most of those places, and first, recognize that they are on the east coast, and two, far safer than Baltimore. And also not rue rhat I never lived in the "harbor" area, a term most People in Baltimore don't use, sort of like Riverside.

I never said they are not safer overall, just that that there are stretches of Baltimore that are no less safe that other cities.

I find the term harbor area convenient because neighborhoods around harbor while very distinct have a lot in common. You seem to be quite a pedant.

Yeah, you are still wromg. Thr nicer areas of Baltimore arent as safe as nice areas in other cities, amd the bad parts are worse rhan rhe bad parts in most cities. That is what comes with having one of thr highest per capita crime rates in the country.

This might be true for Roland park, homeland etc but it is patently not true for neighborhoods around harbor (close to water). If you lived here you would know it was as safe as it gets in a city. But you don't so you can keep worrying about crime in Baltimore while I will keep enjoying my lite 15 year mortgage with plenty of cash to spare and magnificent views every morning. I feel like I am permanently on vacation. Baltimore rocks!

I grew up in Baltimore and still go back regularly to visit family and friends.

Riverside is a known neighborhood. It's not as popular a name as Federal Hill and many will lump it with Federal Hill, but I certainly heard of it as one of the south Baltimore neigborhoods.

Harbor area is commonly said and used.

North Baltimore in Roland Park and Mount Washington are perfectly safe and fine. Truly beautiful area.

In case you haven't been following the local news, heroin addiction and deaths from heroin addiction is at an all time high - across the entire state. It's a growing problem in the rural areas. Sadly this is a phenomena across America.

I posted the message you replied to. If sock puppet means what I think it does then you are incorrect.

Honey, I grew up in Baltimore in the 1980s and 1990s. Now, that was a bad time for the city.

I may not live in Baltimore but family and friends still do and I visit all the time and stay abreast of local news. I am not in denial about the brutal realities of the city's problems but I also don't fall into the scaremongering trap of thinking the entire city is a crime ridden hellhole in a permanent death spiral.
