[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good suggestions PP. Pittsburgh will be a tough sell for DH because he won't like the proximity to some extended family he doesn't like to see, but you are right that the Deep South is probably not for us.

How pricy is Chicago? Anyone know anything about Providence?

As for the Baltimore suggestion, we have looked at this a ton because it would allow us to stay in current jobs, but the biggest issue is that real estate there is atrocious -- does not hold value and real property taxes are really high. So even though housing is much cheaper than DC, it feels like a bad financial decision to move there. We'd probably be better off staying in a condo in DC (which is presently all we can afford) in terms of longterm investment.[/quote]

I don’t know why you’re downplaying Baltimore real estate. The arts centered neighborhoods in North Baltimore like Hampden and Remington have seen tremendous growth in the past 10-15 years. You could get a house in Hampden for $200,000 10 years ago. Now nothing that isn’t condemned sells for less than $350,000. Remington used to be dirt cheap around 2010-2015 but is almost as expensive as Hampden now. [/quote]

You could get a house at the inner harbor for $1 when I was a kid. Literally $1. The city could hardly give them away.[/quote]
