housing location in baltimore

PM me.
And you may want to chat up with Doctim. He's also going to Baltimore.

Hey there

I'm going to be in Baltimore next year too! Decent places depend on where you're going to be working. Which hospital(s) will you be working in?

Hey, I'll be in Baltimore too (Hopkins), and addition to good areas does anyone know any good realtors/lenders that may be associated with hospitals or have good deals for residents?

Thanks...

"Sail Cloth Factory apts are nice. I had a lot of friends who lived there when I was in Med School. U of MD is just around the corner. It's easily accessible to MLK Blvd too, which would be the feeder right into your hospital. There are a couple others in that area that are also nice. The Greenhouse is one I remember offhand. Just a few blocks from Sailcloth. I also had friends in Marlboro Square and Inner Harbor Lofts. My mom says new ones have even opened up in the area, signs that Baltimore is improving I hope. Also, MGH is right on the edge of Mt Vernon and there are plenty of safe high rises in that area. There was always this one I saw that looked like it was straight out of melrose place. It looked great from the outside. Off of Light Street I believe. The benefits of living in the ones around the med school area is that it's easy access to the inner harbor, fells point, federal hill, etc."

I have to disagree with the Sailcloth. I was just in Baltimore and found the Sailcloth to be rundown and not really that nice. I was able to check out the Redwood (across the street from Maryland), the Waterloo- in Mt Vernon (very weird setup but big apartments, kind of old), Pierside- opposite of the inner harbor but right on the water, Munsey (high rise, refurbished office building)- financial district 2 miles from Hopkins, 3 blocks from Inner Harbor. Hopkins has a realtor they work with, call Lynda Miller. (Sechen-left you an email, don't know if you got it.)

i used to live in the charles towers on charles street and saratoga.... 700-800 for a onebedroom... safe/clean, parking is another 160-170 a month and you are in walking distance to mt. vernon and the inner harbor... would recommend it for anybody in baltimore - plus if you get a south/harbor view from a high floor (above 15th) you will have a greeeaaattt view

got my residency package today, which included some housing info. some residents at MGH live at Sutton Place. Anyone care to comment???

also found another web site that might be helpful

I was just going to suggest the livebaltimore website but you beat me to it.

For those that don't mind not being right downtown, and like a more suburban feel (houses with yards & trees), there are a lot of great and affordable neighborhoods in NE Baltimore. Check out Gardenville, Hamilton, & Greater Lauraville. There are a lot of places where you can rent an apt in a home. These areas are in the city, just not downtown, and are close to everything.
