Have a look at Hyattsville. May not be as cheap as some of those far-flung places, but some of those far-flung places are not reliably 45 minutes from DC.

Glen Burnie is not very safe. Check out Chesapeake Beach. Or Crofton if you want better shopping/dining.

If your finances are being downsized then definitely consider Montgomery County. There's a lot of help there if you qualify. Gaithersburg, Germantown would be my choices.

You could do Woodbridge, parts of Alexandra but eh...I don't know. I'd prefer the Montgomery County side if I had to pick. Virginia's housing prices further out stay lower because they never understood something called "smart growth."

I don't think you can make it from Glen Burnie to downtown in 45 min even under good circumstances. I'd shutter to think what that commute would be like on a Friday afternoon in the rain. Maybe look at Germantown, MD, or Springfield, VA

Do you mean 45 miles away or 45 min away?

I'm thinking Glen Burnie, MD. Other suggestions helpful. (I'll spare the details, but my finances are being involuntarily downsized.) Housing cost is a major consideration.
