I am an artist and have been here for 10 years. The old artsy areas, Station North, Hampden, Patterson, have gotten expensive. Studio spaces are more commercial and through the roof. What is your budget? I am in Charles Village, very walkable to Station North and Hampden, but costs are high. I recommend thinking creatively about studio space. Rent a room where they have a basement or garage you can use, or something like that. The last time I looked for outside space I was pretty shocked by the closets places were calling studios.

NY kid from Long Island here, that has moved all over and now lives in Baltimore, I can relate. The great thing about this city is the way it adopts people. If you ever choose to move back here you will instantly be a Baltimorean again!!

Not a legal expert, but this is weird. I rent rooms in my home and lead with the negatives. (No central ac, shared bathroom, no cable, etc.) I wouldn’t put someone in an uncomfortable situation. I encourage my current roommate to ask the new tenant questions and talk with them. All parties should be satisfied with accommodations. As a landlord it is different. I remember asking one once if there were young single people in a complex and they couldn’t answer demographic questions, rightfully so.

I moved here for school and loved it, bought a home here. Crazy easy to make friends (compared to NY where I was before). Safety is a concern, learn some street smarts. But I as a female still walk and jog everywhere. Keep valuables out of sight, don’t walk around on your phone, etc. Super fun and cheap, love it!

Stop into The Baltimore Ary Gallery in Hampden, we have a bunch of local artists, some of whom do abstract acrylics. I work there tomorrow, and most Sundays. You can see their work and I can give you their cards. Question though: is this a photograph you have the right to use or is it from internet? This makes a difference whether it can be copied exactly, or needs to be changed or just used as inspiration.
