[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For a family who enjoys a great city with lots of charm, history, fun things to do- but also needs good schools, Towson is where you need to be. While not directly in the city, it is about 20 min away. Towson is a nice college town with walkability and good public schools. [/quote]

My DH is from Norfolk and he'll never move back. [/quote]

I’m raising my kids here and I hope they don’t move back when they’re adults. That said, it’s not a half-bad place to grow up, despite our public schools that many will warn you about. There is still a feeling of community here. There are rarely more than two or three degrees of separation between any two people. People of different income levels and political preferences live in close proximity and are cordial to each other for the most part. People aren’t obsessed with their jobs and most are able to have a pretty desirable work-life balance. Travel sports aren’t really a huge thing. There is sort of an ease in the low expectations, but someone who is too tightly wound or status-obsessed might find that jarring. [/quote]
