I've looked at Mount Vernon but I've had trouble finding detached homes that I could afford.

I absolutely do. Will take a look, thanks!

I will have to add Woodlawn to my list. I'm hopefully going to college at UMD so I think Towson and Parkville will probably end up too far north in the end.

My wife cried when we found out we were moving here but now we're both sad to leave.

Danke, I will take a look!

I've noticed that both MARC and light rail stations seem to be either A) somewhere I don't want to live or B) Somewhere I can't afford to live.

Pop culture and me get along like a house and a thing houses don't like very much.

Never seen it.

Oh, well. At least it will be more fun.

Okay so that's not SUPER helpful, perhaps my headline was a little TOO inflammatory.

Sounds like you're at least vaguely familiar with the area. You know what Ohio City is looking like these days? Know anywhere similar to it in Baltimore?

I'm from the wrong side of Maryland to know anything about neighborhoods there and haven't lived in the state for years so recommendations would be appreciated.
