The Pigtown options are much better for his financial situation. I do think he could make it work. Pigtown is right off the entry into the city and depending on his hours the drive doesn't have to be that bad. Pigtown also offers more room for appreciation, methinks, as people are being priced out of Fed Hill/Riverside and are now starting to look into Pigtown. The area, while not perfect, has cleaned up quite a bit compared to a decade ago.

Pigtown is not a better option for appreciation and is much less safer. The house in Riverside is a couple blocks from a $1B+ development (Port Covington) that is literally going to reshape Baltimore and be a city within a city. Saying that it is a worse investment that a home in Pigtown, which people have been saying is "up-and-coming" for decades and is not too far from West Baltimore's worst neighborhoods, is just false.

Port Covington is far from a sure thing, and[b] it isn't particularly safe right now[/b].  Nor does it help his commute.

OP, look closer to Fort Meade, you will be far happier spending a hour or two less in your car.[/quote]

what? port covington is completely safe now because there is almost nothing there. and while the development is not 100% sure, it is pretty likely. 'far from a sure' thing is not accurate.[/quote]

It’s not an island.  The surrounding neighborhoods of Mt. Winans, Cherry Hill, and Westport have serious crime issues.[/quote]

huh? I never said port Covington was a island. It's an essentially uncoupled area that has seen some rise in business activity. Nobody lives there and there is no crime. To say that "it's not safe" is preposterous. It's very safe just mostly empty.

OP I don't know anything about your commute but I live in locust point and it's extremely safe and very close to i95.[/quote]
