Best of both worlds, check out lauraville/Hamilton. In the city, stuff to do and plenty of green space and kind neighbors

Thirding this, it's great here. You might also like Waverly or Beverly Hills, Northwood, Govans etc. Just throwing neighborhoods out there. I love Baltimore bc you can live in the city but have space for BBQ, gardening, etc. The rental market on the NE side is not great, but you could eventually buy a house here. Look around Morgan State University, there are more rentals in the student neighborhoods

Yes! I live in Hamilton and have the house/yard with a nice blend of people with kids, people without kids, and easy access to the city life. I love it here.

We will have to look. Currently they don't really have anything that fits what we're hoping for, but these definitely weren't on our radar before! Thanks.

Check out Charles Village too! We have a decent sized row home and small front and back yards. It's family friendly but you can also walk to a lot of restaurants and bars.

Look at Cedmont. In the city. Single family homes with yards. Still easy to get downtown

Thirding. Most of the areas off the main drag feel suburban but there are all kinds of amenities within walking distance. Tons of young families. The farmer’s market is awesome. Check out Hamilton-Lauraville Mainstreet.Hampden might fit your criteria but definitely has more of the issues that come with “city life”.

Eta: maybe check out Medfield? Walking distance to Hampden, close to multiple grocery stores, but a little more residential and quiet.

Came here to say this! I live in Arcadia/Beverly hills. And it's great. Feels like the suburbs but downtown is only 15 minutes away, and all the suburb shopping 10-20 minutes away as well.
