Can’t afford DC? Move to Baltimore
Prices in Baltimore have gone up to record levels recently but the city is still a great deal for Washington, DC workers who want to enjoy the vibrancy and culture of a large city without paying a king’s ransom for a house.
This article in the Examiner highlights some DC workers who have made the move to Baltimore and shows the gaping difference in home prices between the two cities:
“In the first nine months of 2005, the average sale price for a home in Washington, D.C., was $517,743, based on Metropolitan Regional Information Systems data.
In Baltimore, the average sale price was $154,064.”
Pretty big difference. Now if only they could get this Maglev built, the commute would be only 20 minutes…
