This sounds great! Which neighborhood?

I didnt suggest lutherville because they said they wanted a younger vibe with lots to do, which makes me think canton, catonsville, hampden and mt washington

Big houses with yards

I think Lutherville/Timonium is a sensible choice for a family in their circumstance. I would not move inside the beltway. A Rodger’s Forge type of place would be great if they are into more condensed living, and want the urban feel around them. I wouldn’t choose that, but I’m not them. For townhome living, instead of Rodger’s Forge, I’d look at Mays Chapel.

Your landlord is full of shit.

Not sure if it has been mentioned but for friends you and your wife should scout VOLO and join a league

Also, beware any 5 over one building in Canton. It will have extremely thin walls

It’s a safe enough place which is why I suggested it. Community like, not super cockeysville like which they don’t want, and near the activity of the city with chains and they could have a yard. Where would you suggest?

Yeah I don't get all of the hate from others. I lived in Cockeysville from 27-35 and it was perfect. Easy access to 83 which could take me to stuff in the city, but affordable rent, options for groceries, and quiet when I wanted it...and also accessible to Loch Raven and lots of rural places.

I know a lot of them because they simply don't want to live in the city 🤣

But I'm also over 35 and most of them are around 35.

The court and reporter are in MD, the defendant lives in Florida. How urgently this is or isn't being treated likely isn't something the Banner is privy to.

How do you really go about getting to know a neighborhoods vibe without really living in the area?

It is not somewhere that I would suggest an out of town transplant family from the California suburbs move.

Bellona>Charles>695>83

Right, exactly. Some people act like people have privileges and corporations have rights.

Well first, wishing there were a way to revoke their broadcast licenses given that they're a public resource being so maliciously used.

The one good thing about Cockeysville, as far as suburbs go, is the easy access to 83, making it convenient to go into many city neighborhoods. But you'd probably be happier in one of those places.

I would definitely not recommend Cockeysville if you’re looking for city vibes/making friends with younger people. In your shoes I’d choose one of the many great areas people have recommended within city limits and sign a year max lease. If you hate it, I promise the suburbs aren’t going anywhere and you can move there once your lease is up!

You may not be able to get everything you want but you can probably get at least some of what you want in a place. Parking is tougher in some of the more popular neighborhoods but it’s not unmanageable. If you’re commuting to UMMS main campus there’s a bunch of public transportation options if you decide that driving and parking every day is too much of a hassle. If you’re unable to get a house with a yard there are community gardens that you can try to get a plot in. I’ve had no problem hosting parties at my place in the city, if you make friends with other city dwellers they’ll be able to figure out how to get to your place.

There are TONS of things to do aside from drinking at bars all over the city—if there’s anything particular you’re fans of this is a great place to get recommendations and I’m happy to recommend stuff as well.

I personally am not a huge fan of the suburbs and I think the pluses of city life are very much worth some of the inconveniences. If it’s something you’ve not experienced and have the desire to try I think doing it while you’re still in your twenties and before having kids is the ideal time.

Welcome to Baltimore!

What’s wrong with Catonsville?

It is part of the city but right on the county line.

NO

Lutherville proper is pretty much at the top of the JFX. With no traffic you can be downtown in 10 minutes with no problem. Another reason I’m a fan of Lutherville/Timonium.

Cockeysville/Timonium is a great location for late 20s+. I regret moving away from Timonium seven years ago. I often go back to the old neighborhood to see friends. When my youngest finishes school, I might move back. I moved to a place called Baldwin, MD, but it feels too rural. Timonium was a great balance. I also like being just outside that 695 beltway loop.

I don’t know what kind of environment you’re comfortable in, but some of these suggestions are very far off in culture and crime rates from where you are looking in the Timonium area. Some are awesome pocket communities, but they are in areas that are slowly being consumed by the worse parts of Baltimore. If you’re in the right pocket you’re okay, but if not, you might have a problem. Very heavy traffic inside 695 too.

Timonium doesn’t have much of that other than the one apartment community in Cockeysville, and that’s not exactly bad. Be cautious. Overall, the tide is rising in that area. Some of these other places, not so much.

Thanks! Wasn't really familiar with this area til today. We will definitely check it out!
