Is Baltimore a safe place to raise a family?

on 4 May 2020

Hey,

Does anyone have any experience living in Baltimore. We are a young family from Miami. My husband has a great job offer in Washington but we've realised that we can't really maintain our lifestyle in the capital. One of his colleagues suggested living in Baltimore, as an option as that is where he lives and manages to commute to DC every day. He says its a little inconvenient but worth the saving and lifestyle benefits.

I haven't really spent much time on the East Coast. I really don't know anyone in Baltimore and I have my reservations. Is it really as dangerous as we think from what we see on TV? I know to take things with a pinch of salt, but I really need to consider the safety of my kids. Is Baltimore a good place to raise kids? What are schools like? Where are the safe neighbourhoods?

I'd really appreciate your insights and advice.

Thanks

Anya
