[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can buy a single family home in Baltimore for less than $300k.[/quote] But the schools suck. The OP said she wants good resale value.[/quote] This plus look at the property taxes. We've considered moving to Baltimore very seriously because a lot of my work is there. The housing prices are lower but when you factor in taxes and look at appreciation, it makes more sense to stay in a smaller place in the DC suburbs. Lower taxes for better schools/services, property more likely to retain or gain value, and better long-term job options. Even with recent issues with fed employment, DC is still a better deal than Baltimore. I would look at Howard county though. You could look at teaching jobs in Howard, Ann Arundel, Montgomery, PG, and Baltimore counties. Really nice place for kids. Good schools. Very car dependent but good quality if life. I wish I could talk my husband into it.[/quote]
