[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]B'more haters, please desist  Marc does have issues but maybe 8 x a year. My husband's commute to Penn station is literally 10 min door to door. If you really get stuck, it's a $60 uber ride or take Amtrak. My DH walks to main justice - gets his steps in/good exercise.  For schools - the Ingenuity program run out of Poly sends 100% to college, most of them strong, has intel finalists etc (entrance exam is the Cogat, which should appeal to all you DC suburbs folks) as does school for the arts.  Obviously not for everyone but It's not nearly as bad as some of you are suggesting. [/quote]

The problem isn’t Marc but metro and light rail/or 83– at least two of which will be needed for op’s husband to get to work unless they live within walking distance in Baltimore which would rule out Homeland, Guilford, Mount Washington, and Roland Park.  Still a 15 minutes walk from Bolton Hill.

Poly’s facilities are extremely run down and only slightly more three quarters of the school goes to college despite it being an application School.  Good for Baltimore city schools which are pathetic, but substandard to an average school in any other Maryland county,[/quote]

You're comparing apples and oranges (city to a suburb). How about you compared POLY, City, and School for the Arts with DC's three best public high school options. Baltimore comes out a bit ahead, imo.

Also, there are some people who don't want to live in a faux "urban" town center in the suburbs with a bunch of big box stores an no character or sense of place, but can't afford a $1.25M row house. Canton, Federal Hill, Locust Point, Brewer's Hill, Hampden, Wyman Park, Remington, Roland Park, Evergreen, Bolton Hill and a lot of other neighborhoods are walkable to a bunch of interesting restaurants, boutiques, etc. and have their own unique histories, architectural styles and charm.
