Reply to comment by pTERR0Rdactyl in If you’re commuting to D.C., where are you commuting from? by SuperBethesda

From google maps, Hampden does look pretty nice. I like the row of restaurants and shops, and there also seems to be some nice parks in the area. Incredibly, all the homes listed for sale there are less than $400K. I am in heaven if that’s considered pricey. Such great value for the price.

Yeah, I paid less than $300k for my place and I love it. That row of shops and restaurants is called The Avenue and I live right behind it. It's a good spot.

You can drive to Halethorpe in maybe 20 minutes from Hampden across the city, and Halethorpe usually has free parking depending on when you arrive. At that point you're already nearly at BWI, slightly shorter MARC ride. It's kind of dumb with traffic, but certainly doable. You can also certainly ride your bike from Hampden to Penn Station, and from there you can even take the Amtrak for a faster but slightly more expensive ride than MARC.

It’s pricey per square foot compared to somewhere like Reservoir Hill or Waverly.

We looked at Hampden and homes in our budget were like 800 square feet smaller than what we wound up buying in Bolton Hill
