Thanks for the suggestions. I'll do some research. What's your experience of Truxton vs Bloomingdale vs Ivy City?

I lived on a really rough street in Truxton so my experience was really not great. Basically you don’t want to be near N Cap Street.

I loved walking around Bloomingdale.

Ivy City is not that great - there's no decent access to public transit & it's still pretty rough, if you're not used to living in a very urban environment.

The first two are real and genuine urban neighborhoods. All the pros and cons.

Ivy city is mostly cons, Target and weird bars. Feels like ultra gentrified Mt Clare.

Eckington or NoMa would be better than Ivy City. Closer to the metro while still being close to the highway to get to baltimore.
