[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not spend that amount of time in a car, nor would I sink my money into Baltimore real estate.  They are another riot away from further depressed prices.  Why not rent closer to work? That whole area is inexpensive.[/quote]

OP, do not listen to people like this. Baltimore has plenty of nice neighborhoods, many of which have appreciated in price since Freddie Gray.

Here's a home that is right across from Riverside Park and within waling distance to the $1B+ Port Covington development, which will house the new Under Armour Headquarters. This would be a reasonable commute to Fort Meade:

This will take some sweat equity, but it would be worth it once Port Covington comes around. Here's a home that sold two blocks away to give you a frame of reference about what stuff sells for when it's fixed up:

The Rah Rah Baltimore booster has found you.  The commute to Fort Meade is reasonable only if you want an hour plus commute.[/quote]

This is ridiculous. Stop. Google Maps does not agree with you, nor does anyone who's actually done that commute. The commute time from Capitol Hill to North Baltimore around 6 pm is 1:30 to 1:45. There is no way it takes 1 hour to do a reverse commute from the edge of South Baltimore to Fort Meade. [/quote]
