Amazing. Thank you so much.

This is really helpful to know about the bike lane thank you. Are there blue bikes there? Or I'd need to bring my own on the train?

I would love to, it's just the lack of transportation to Kernewood area once I get into Baltimore

We're moving for my job, so hes definitely making the bigger compromise here

How biking accessible is baltimore? I'm definitely open to a part bike commute--are there bike lanes?

Indeed :(

Closer to Kernewood

It would be almost an hour walk to work if I can only take the light rail to Woodberry, sadly. My schedule for work will be quite strict so the bus does make me nervous

Thanks for your comment. The main problem is the transportation once I get to Penn Station. I've been told the buses are really unreliable and that biking wouldn't be an option. Do you disagree? If I didn't have to drive it that would make a big difference.

Thanks for your thoughts. How is biking in Baltimore more generally? I visited very briefly and it didn't look like there were any bike lanes (where I was at least).

Yea, I'd be in the office probably 3 days a week and WFH 2 days a week.

I'm definitely open to hearing a good argument for this. My partner has lived in DC before, loved it, particularly being able to public transport super easily, and worries about the violent crime reputation in Baltimore.

Oof. I think I'd aim to avoid it. Leave early and come back quite late. Like 5 am-7:30 pm ish

This is good to know. I've definitely heard wonderful things about the people in Baltimore. Would I take the bus to Penn station and then take MARC from there? Are there other options than the bus? I've heard it isn't very reliable in Baltimore?

My partner will be working in Capital Hill, I'lll be working in Hamden.

How long does their commute take and at what time of day?

True! Any particular area within the inner DC suburbs you'd recommend with a commute to Baltimore? We're totally new to the area

He will be working in capital hill. What are Laurel and Columbia like? Are they more family oriented or there are also young people?

Thanks so much for this advice! Unfortunately, I think I'm losing the battle to live in Baltimore and commute to DC. My partner is pushing hard for us to live in DC and commute to Baltimore (and be much more poor lol)

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

How long would you anticipate? Google seems to say between 1-2 hours but that's a very wide range....

Right by Kernewood in Baltimore. Thanks for any insight you might provide!
