[quote=Anonymous]Op, would you consider renting for a year or two to get your bearings?  it’s very hard to buy a house in Stoneleigh if you are not in town as they sell in days (I think you would also like parts of West Towson as well because it has a similar level of walkability but same issue). In either of these neighborhoods, you would have very good public options all the way through.

I have lived here for more than two decades and have heard nothing good about the public schools in Canton or Locust Point.  However, you do not need schools immediately.  You could rent for a year or two in one of these neighborhoods and research schools more.  I believe there is a charter elementary in Federal Hill, which is next to Locust Point, but no idea how good it is or how hard to get into.  Middle school options would definitely be dismal.

Perhaps renting in LP or Canton will make your family fall in love with the neighborhood, and you will be willing to do what it takes to make the schools work.  If not, you would could buy in Towson when the right house hits the market.
