Question

I am a teacher and I'm thinking about moving to the area. I prefer a suburb not too far away from the city (within 30 miles). good school system is most important. thanks in advance

Answer 1

Bolton Hill is not a suburb of Baltimore, its a neighborhood in Central Baltimore. The best suburbs to live in are to the north of the city and to the Northeast of the City--Live in Towson, or Perry Hall, or Whitemarsh. These are the upper middle class neighborhoods, relatively low crime, high property values. To the Northeast there is also Owings Mills (very Jewish) and Randallstown. If you are looking for more working class or blue collar, then consider Carney (NE), Essex (East), Dundalk (East), in the Northeast and East, Catonsville on the west. Ellicott City on the west is not bad either, a bit more rural and further out. Probably best to avoid Woodlawn and Arbutus and Catonsville is declining....South Baltimore is up and coming but still has a way to go as does Brooklyn Park, these are both due south of the City.

Answer 2

In Baltimore, Bolton Hill. In DC, Anacostia. DON'T LET URBAN LEGENDS SCARE YOU AWAY FROM ANACOSTIA. You need to use the same amount of common sense that you use in any metropolitan area when getting around. Not only will you get some of the best views of the city, you'll get wonderful old homes in established communities and it's an up and coming area meaning that the real estate is still affordable for some.

Answer 3

It relies upon. a variety of of folk are shifting out in route of the Frederick, MD section (west of Baltimore, up I-270). also, Columbia, Laurel and Ellicot city are all between Baltimore and DC, and human beings seem shifting there to boot. in the destiny, although, i'd say it really is properly worth it to stay closer in to DC and seem for multiple the extra low-cost suburbs. in the start you'll save in commuting expenses - highly now that gas expenses are properly above $3 a gallon. also the site visitors in the DC section is between the worst in the rustic - statistically in ordinary words California has worse site visitors i imagine. so that you will be spending ridiculous quantities of time in site visitors. in reality i'd say the aspects in route of Baltimore are not likely to stay away from adequate to justify the holiday. i'd say to analyze out Takoma Park, Maryland - it really is transforming into a extra robust section and is quite extra low-cost. Rockville, highly round Twinbrook, and Wheaton/Silver Spring, highly close to wooded area Glen, are all reliable aspects too and comparatively more cost-effective. Bethesda is astounding yet extra severe priced. regrettably i do not comprehend as a lot about Virginia because that i'm from the MD suburbs yet there are astounding and extra low-cost aspects there to boot.

Answer 4
