Expert or not, I appreciate the insight. My dad even said Bowleys Quarters isn’t too bad. And I would guess that for the trailer parks although I’ve seen some that look well upkept tbh

Fair enough on the schools. Not my biggest worry though. And I went to PH, and I know mostly if you stay to yourself then you’re usually fine. As far as education, I think any (Maryland) school is mediocre these days. But I’ll look into Chase some

That’s right, not totally opposed to that area. We saw some nice houses recently kind of nearby.

Good to know. And yes, you are correct. I’d live in Kingsville if the houses cost what they did when my parents moved in lol but that’s not even a possibility for me as of now. And I don’t need ritzy. I just want friendly and non-trashy. White Marsh has definitely declined somewhat but it’s not unbearable or anything imo

Chase is down below the harbor and all right? Not opposed but my gf and I are stuck on being like 20min max from our families/friends. I realize we may have to give that up though

It just seems like everything’s a little rundown. And maybe it’s just the environment I grew up in talking, but I’ve never lived near like 3 liquor stores and dive bars. Not saying that’s all of Essex, but the houses I looked at were like that. I feel like I have unrealistic expectations though perhaps

Actually? That’s another place I feel unsure about usually…but maybe I’m just being too harsh
