[quote=Anonymous]We recently moved to Lutherville after living in major cities in the Midwest and on the East and West coast. We looked at homes in Roland Park, Homeland, Ruxton, Stoneleigh, and Mays Chapel with a budget of $1-$1.3M. It was really hard to find a house we loved. There were so many places in Ruxton and Roland Park that had beautifully renovated kitchens and bathrooms (with high-end appliances and fixtures) but the rest of the house would have an awkward layout and the house itself was like 100 years old. It would just require so much work that we ended up in Mays Chapel in a newer home.

The quality of life is really nice because your dollar does go far. We have a huge suburban house but can be downtown and go out to dinner or take the kids to the aquarium in 15-20 minutes. Our neighborhood has tons of kids and plans social events for Halloween, back to school and Christmas.We joined a great pool club this summer with no waitlist. We are doing private for school and the options are endless. We didn't have to spend our max budget to be in a great neighborhood so we have more disposable income for travel and activities.

Things that I miss are cool fun neighborhoods to walk around with cool restaurants and shops, a great food scene, major retailers. Baltimore just feels small. The nice thing is that there's easy access to DC and New York so I can get my fix in other ways.[/quote]
