Arbutus!

Ideally one of the detached homes in between east drive and Shelbourne because it'll put you in walking distance to the restaurants, shops, movie theatre in town and the events center on UMBC. There are sidewalks everywhere (if you have a stroller down the road), it's right off of many major roads, the elementary and middle school are good enough, they just starting building a new high school, patapsco state park is near by, and it's relatively affordable compared to other towns nearby. There's live music fairly often on campus or in town so there's some semblance of a night life but it's still a fairly sleepy blue collar town. There are also yearly events like the arts festival, 10K, and 4th of July parade.
