You’ve received a bunch of really great advice. I’d also check out some stuff near Mayfair / near Clifton golf course. There’s some really incredible houses with character facing the golf course in that area that depending on if you’re buying immediately may really fit what you want, and with the parks around there, there are places where you can definitely walk your dogs.

ETA: Whenever you’re getting into town it may be worth checking out the trolley tour run by Live Baltimore as the tour can be really helpful in discovering some smaller neighborhoods you may not otherwise think of!
