I find taking the light rail to Lake Roland Park (Falls Creek Station) is a very nice and cheap trip. The Inner Harbor is nice to walk around too when its warm enough.

I say this as a new Towson student originally from out of state (PA)

Lmao. Naw fam. They’re way two different environments. Homeland has million dollar homes while on the other side of York Road, you won’t find any between the Alameda and York Road yet are in the same zip code. 21212 The Alameda isn’t too bad as far as crime but when you get to Old York Road, there’s been many many murders in that area unfortunately.

Get coffee and a steak, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich at Doobys. Sit in the park for people watching and breakfast. The best spot is by the fountain on the West side of the park. Wonderful spot to read a book or listen to a podcast.

Later get the jerk chicken wrap and sweet potato fries at Cafe 1908. Pick up vegan ice cream at Cajou Creamery on Howard St.

The alameda is no more “crime ridden” then anywhere else. The point is the house are just as nice and big on both sides of old York/ York road . It’s somewhat rough east till you get closer to Loch Raven blvd. But the majority of them are is great conditions

Once you hit Woodbourne Ave and are going towards downtown, the left side of York Road between the Alameda and York Road is very crime ridden. There are big houses on that side but majority of them haven’t been kept up while the other side is completely different.

Reply to Mount Vernon - what area is best? by DaleDuzit

I lived in Mount Vernon for 7 years from 2012-2019 ( was in reservoir hill prior to) in various buildings, and loved my time in the neighborhood. It is by far my favorite. It was hard for me to move away to the SE side in Canton and now Highlandtown (which is quickly becoming a favorite).

It’s hard to beat the overall central access to everything the city has to offer in MV. The best of best food,bars, cafes, etc are/were located in MV. The best architecture, rich history, diversity is there. It’s true city life there. I met interesting an worldly people out and about. And from MV it’s easily to get to everywhere else. It’s also the transit hub.

I personally no problems while living there. Not even a stolen package. I know others weren’t so lucky. But overall MV is one of the safest neighborhoods. Kept your general good wits about you and use you smarts. The neighborhood does pay for extra private security funded by the local businesses. They also pay for neighbor cleanupvia Midtowncommunity benefit district. There’s MTA, UB, MICA police patrolling around.

810 cathedral street beautiful huge apartment was managed by Thornhill property, they have several buildings around the neighborhood and they are phenomenal. I maybe biased as the founder/owners son is my friend. But they run a excellent business and are top notch. Now Walters owns that block. It’s right next door to the hotel revival. It’s was apartments and I bar when I lived next door.

I lived in the Belvedere rented thru a private condo owner. Loved it there also.

I lived at horizon house for several years, I loved my time there, it has a month too pool which is rare in this city. Had no complaints except for maintenance people stole thousands of my items when I funded out.

I also lived in the whole 7 bedroom mansion on Preston with a bunch of friends.

Look into the Fitzgerald, Gallery Towers, The Lucy, the Suites, The Tobee, it’s really better to walk around and get places via signs on windows
