No idea what that is, but there’s a bunch of places that offer these types of services in downtown Bethesda.

Which intersection?

Noted. Will keep that in mind, thanks

Wish I was more handy. Saw some unreal prices for what I thought were very spacious homes, but they turn out to be fixer-uppers. I would probably need to spend significant money to renovate, which might still be worth it. Love historic homes.

From google maps, Hampden does look pretty nice. I like the row of restaurants and shops, and there also seems to be some nice parks in the area. Incredibly, all the homes listed for sale there are less than $400K. I am in heaven if that’s considered pricey. Such great value for the price.

Thanks, will have to explore those areas

Yeah could get a big home with large yard out in the burbs for the same price of a small condo inside the DC beltway. Suburbs are great for raising families, but I’m a different demographic and I like the city life

Thanks, will have to check out Reservoir Hill

Thanks for the tip. I wouldn’t ride in DC, because I don’t trust the drivers there. Not sure how it is in Baltimore

Thanks for the offer. I think I’ll just do visits to the city and check out different parts of town. Are you in Otterbein?

Haha, that is so cool. It would actually make the commute even better

That does provide many more neighborhood options. Thanks for the suggestion

Why not just buy one of the historical homes? Guaranteed to be Baltimore style.

Wow, I’m always amazed at Baltimore prices. Such great units too.

I get to see how all the building’s HOA funds are being spent, and it’s fairly reasonable. We have certain amenities, like 24/7 concierge service, pool & jacuzzi, tennis courts, etc. There’a also regular cleaning service for the common areas, in-house building engineer responsible maintenance, elevators, etc. We do have the option of putting in EV charger for my garage parking space, but I’d need to switch to an EV (currently driving a regular hybrid).

Is this an insurance scam? Wonder why they would do that. Good to have dash cam.

Thanks! That’s a fantastic deal. My mortgage + HOA is just over $2400/month for a tiny 870 sqft 2 bed/1 bath condo, even after putting 27% for down payment. 😞 The good part is I got in at 2.99% interest. Definitely will not be seeing that interest rate again. Location is perfect, but need more space. Not willing to give up urban walkability. Just looking to see what’s out there, and check out future options.

Good idea about the EV. Which part of Baltimore are you at? I’m assuming you’re not commuting to DC, since you mentioned 50 miles one way.

I’d consider that if it means living in a great neighborhood. I have a car, but it often stays in my garage for weeks at a time, because downtown Bethesda is super walkable, and I got easy access to the Metro to go into DC. Looking at the map for Baltimore, places like Fells Point looks to be really great, and I’d probably need to do the park and ride from there.

Thanks! I rode the MARC for the first time earlier this week, and it was fast and comfortable. Definitely prefer it over driving. My office is pretty close to Union Station.

Good point about multimodal. I’d definitely be open to that.

My office is pretty close to Union Station. I took a trip earlier this week from there to Penn Station, and it was quick and easy.

I got a handful of downvotes with a comment mentioning that inner harbor is safe.

lol, why?
