[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s 2019 and I’m now considering moving to Baltimore. I work in foggy bottom have a three year old and I’m a single mom. Baltimore time and time again has been magnificent price wise. Is anyone else living in Baltimore and commuting into DC? I have price tunnel vision and the affordability is amazing but I’m not sure if I should be considering something else.[/quote]

Please don't. I just sold my house to move back to DC after only 18 months living in Baltimore. When I first moved there, I was teleworking 80% of the time and loved taking the train into DC when I had to. I live in Bolton Hill and had a nice walk to the train station and a short commute from Union Station. I left that job recently for a new one in Friendship Heights and I'm miserable. I drive 90 minutes roundtrip and it's brutal. The time away from my 7 month old is NOT worth it.

Outside of the commute, I can't handle the crime. Another poster here said that you wouldn't live anywhere where there are homicides...sure, that MAY be the case but there are almost daily reports of people being held up at gun point all over the city. My neighbor was carjacked at 7am pulling out of her garage. Homicide is not the only crime in Baltimore. I'm leaving because I don't want to raise my daughter in Baltimore. We left because we had price tunnel vision and it was a poor decision. [/quote]
