[quote=Anonymous]As much as I like Baltimore (I lived and worked there for years, as recently as 2011), it's not that cheap. A nice, updated 3br house in Roland Park or Homeland will cost you about $600k. It's true that there are many cheaper houses that look beautiful from the outside, but the interiors are atrocious and havent been updated in decades. Then there's property taxes, which are MUCH higher than Arlington. Then there's private schools, which are a must if you live in the city. And the job market is very tight, as others have said, so you might be doing it all on one income. My spouse still works in Baltimore. I now work in DC. We live in Silver Spring. I have an easy redline commute, and my spouse has a pretty reasonable drive straight up 95. We are definitely better off financially than we would be trying to live in Roland Park with kids in private school. [/quote]
