[quote=Anonymous]We moved from DC to Baltimore 3 years ago and love it. I agree with some of what has been said -- the job market here is weak. (DH works for a university here and I telecommute for a company in NYC.) The property taxes are high. But, I disagree that private schools are a must. Our child is in a public charter school and we are VERY happy with it. The charter school lottery is a crap shoot, admittedly, but I just point that not everyone sends their kids to private. (Oh, and privates are nearly as expensive as they are in DC. Seriously.)

I like that the pace of life is a bit slower here. Housing costs less so people don't have to scramble as much. Traffic in the city isn't nearly as bad as it would be if we were in DC. The city itself has a lot of character and I've found people to be very friendly. In short, I like this city a lot.

We did not own a car before we moved here and Baltimore has not been as walker-friendly as I would have hoped. The transit system leaves much to be desired. With that said, we are in a tiny neighborhood of rowhouses just north of Charles Village (it's called Oakenshawe) and we are able to hitch a bus to take us down to the Harbor, Aquarium, train station without too much trouble.
