[quote=Anonymous]I grew up in DC and now live in Baltimore.  My parents still live in DC so I can compare.   We live in a nice house in Roland Park.  It's awesome -- way nicer than anything I could have ever afforded in the DC area.  100 years old, yet beautifully restored, big old trees, side porch, kitchen of dreams.  Not only that, it's literally 5 minutes from where my husband and I both work.  This totally makes a lifestyle of 2 WOH parents with high pressure jobs doable.  We make enough to send our kids to private school (especially since private school costs 1/2 what it does in DC) and until
then have a great nanny for our kids.

So Baltimore is awesome.  Way better than DC in these ways.  Outside of these aspects it's not DC.  DC is a cosmopolitan city with people coming and going from all over the world.  Lots of highly educated, upwardly mobile professionals.  Baltimore is provincial -- people live here because they are from here.  They are friendly.  This place is sleepy.  Just a few restaurants, although there are a few that are genuinely good.  No high culture.

If you both have solid job offers here and your lives are mainly centered around work and raising your kids, Baltimore is way easier than DC.  If you will miss having a real city, take that into consideration.[/quote]
