Thank you all for your advice. :)  My hubby's future boss is actually trying to get that info available to my hubby by tomorrow.  He's also defined which neighborhoods are on the "you don't want to live there" list.  So that is good at least.  It's kind of funny how the town houses are coming up less expensive out there.  It tends to be the opposite here.  We're trying to be 5 miles or less from campus because my husband is going to be on call for a particular piece of lab equipment.

Hey,

 

I live in baltimore during the week ( i go to md nursing). I currently live in a townhouse with roomates and overall I feel pretty safe in the city, i am in ridgeleys delight near the orioles stadium and pickles pub.my neighbor hood is mostly college students and some young families.  If you look at the school housing sites some people advertise townhouses for rent( no sharing) and many allow pets. Its usually alot cheaper than being in an apartment building. when i was looking  for housing in an apartment it was going to be 800 a month( with another person) and this was before my pet deposit and utilities. you can also look at craigslist baltimore for housing ( not as sketchy as you would think). If you plan on coming out you can look at some neighborhoods. are you going to be driving or walking to work? if your driving you might be able to look at more areas that arent too far.

also with all this parrallel parking and leaving my car out on the street i havent had any problems. just keep it clean inside, dont leave anything of value inside or visible.

 

in terms of safety just don't go out at night alone, pretty much basic stuff. lock your doors and carry some pepper spray. i havent had to use it  yet.
