[quote=Anonymous]I grew up in Baltimore, in Roland Park, and I loved it.  I would move back in a heartbeat if it weren't for DH's job being here.  Since you understand that you will have to pay for private schools and can afford it, that won't be a surprise to you.  And most people in that area do send their kids to private school so it's not like they will not feel like they are part of the community if they do not use the local public school.  You should also look into Mount Washington--equally charming and more walkable IMO.  Baltimore City taxes are very high though and the services are not great so you should also look into towns in the surrounding counties (Towson, Catonsville, etc) and compare.  Schools in the county are much better than city schools.

Keep in mind that Baltimore is a different world than DC--the people are completely different there.  I don't mean that in a bad way (I'm from there after all) and that may be one of the reasons that you are looking to move there.  Also, a lot of people who live in Baltimore are from Baltimore and have extended families in Baltimore (not a lot of transplants like here) so you may find that your neighbors already have a strong, established network of friends but the people there tend to be very friendly so you will likely be welcomed into their circles rather than feel like an outsider.

I will say that the one thing that I like about DC vs Baltimore (at least where I live here) is that DC has so much more diversity than Baltimore.  There are many more people here from all over the world/country and I find that fascinating.  [/quote]
