My fi and I are thinking about moving to Baltimore after we get married - possible end of fall 2012 or early 2013 - we would like to be able to buy a house in a few years and want to lower our cost if living. I have some cousins that live in Canton and we have a friend moving there over the summer to do a fellowship at JHU. Questions for you ladies - what areas within Baltimore city do you recommend? We are thinking Canton, Inner Harbor, Fells Point...where else should we consider? Would like to be walking distance to an area with shops and restaurants and where we can walk our dog. How much time do we give ourselves to job hunt? He is an Architect with 1 year working exp. and Masters deg. I am a training coordinator for a consulting firm. Thanks!
