Reply to comment by Mikel32 in Patterson Park Rent Increase by GoodbyeHorses69

Love that you could come back at them! It’s insane what so many landlords are trying to do… definitely not in love with this neighborhood, but really want to feel safe, so sometimes that limits options. I used to live closer to the county line and now those prices are at least 800 more for what I previously rented.

Congrats on the house! Hope to get there myself one day. Thanks again

Honestly, I feel safer where I live now then when I lived in Paterson Park/Canton/Fed. The amount of shit you deal with as far as break ins, car jackings, muggings was starting to weigh on me. Also, I stopped counting how many times my car got broken into. I want to recommend my neighborhood but I know being away from bars nightlife really deters people but it’s a quick walk to Pigtown/Fed and even quicker by bike.

VERY true! I should clarify I don’t like walking around at night (or even driving because of the car jackings) but feel safe in the building. I don’t love being downtown, but would rather be here than in a row home in a sketchier part of town where I’d have to walk my dog further to get to the park. May I ask what neighborhood you’re in now? I’d much prefer being closer to the county, but those prices really went through the roof, so I figured if I’m in the city, Patterson park, locust point, and fed hill are the safest.
