So, for reference, I have lived on Chamberlayne and in Jackson Ward in Richmond, if you know anything about those. I also worked in Gilpin Court for the housing authority for a while. So I don't necessarily need "buttoned-up," I just don't want, for example, to be woken up by gunshots every other weekend lol.

Federal Hill and Pigtown are the other 2 I was looking at, I just couldn't remember them. When I was in Baltimore I actually stayed either in or within walking distance of Mt. Vernon and LOVED that area. That's where the Walter Museum is, right?

Affordability will definitely be key so I'd love to check out Hollins Market and Ridgleys as well. Thank you!

Yea I think Pig Town would be a good place to look then! Hollins Market is the neighborhood right next to Pig Town. And Ridgleys is the neighborhood next to Camden Yards. I think it’s technically called Ridgleys Delight. It’s fairly small but has some apartment complexes I was looking at when I was moving.

Great! I'll take a long weekend this month and go check out all these. Ngl I kind of want to live in Pig Town for the name alone.
