Yeah Cockeysville is like families and people in their 50s-70s. We have rowhouse neighborhoods that would give you a bit of space and not put you in a high rise. Canton, Fells Point, upper Fells point, patterson Park all have close access to patterson park which is one of the largest parks in the city. They’re also walkable areas with bars/restaurants/entertainment. Canton/brewers Hill has many grocery stores and shopping (including big chains) much to my dismay, there is a suburban style shopping center here called Canton Crossing so y’all could still have that.

I mean, you would be missing out on a lot of the benefits of Baltimore, but just from your description, it doesn't sound like you'd really enjoy city living.
If you'd like to try it, maybe rent an air bnb in a neighborhood in baltimore for 2 weeks before you commit to a long-term rental. See how you do with the space, the parking, the walking, etc. before you commit.

You can get basically everything you’re looking for in Hampden. Yard, parking, people your age, boring grocery stores, easy hosting parties, etc. not all the streets have yard and parking in the back, but lots have at least one! And there’s really only certain areas of Hampden that have difficult street parking.

You’ll never go to the inner harbor area/live there unless there’s a specific event going on. The in city areas “near” the harbor are fells point, federal hill, harbor East and further back Canton.

Because its too easy to claim some boogeyman is out to destroy the city for purposes that are always vague beyond they are evil people doing evil things for no other reason than evil.

I can tell you I do not know any couples who live in the county without kids, so I’d say it depends on what you want to do!

Reply to Question: in Baltimore, as a current tenant of a property, is it illegal to answer questions from prospective tenants during a property viewing? by karrotkween
It’s not illegal.
You’re not staying, so take the money.
Respond with: “ per the binding legal document we signed we cannot answer any of your questions.”
Profit. Move on.

Live in the city! You will always have a chance to move to a suburb if you don’t love the city later in life or when you have kids.
The city has plenty of places to stretch your legs and explore! The opportunity to walk to a ton of bars, restaurants, parks etc is such. In Baltimore lots of people have cars and it is easy to “escape” the city 20 mins for a nice hike or adventure.
I guess if you’re thinking about the city being a fun time this is the time in your life to try it out!

He’ll lose his pension and have to pay his lawyers, not much left. He and the wife will probably turn up in Mexico in mustaches and sombreros.

Edit: Sorry mixed up Towson/Timonium lol.
If we did go for Timonium, do you think we'd be missing out on out on a lot of the benefits of living in Baltimore? Like how different really would life be in Towson vs Timonium vs Inner Harbor/etc?

We definitely have a diamond in the rough kind of place now that we think the landlord would want us for (has had a lot of interest), and we have family who've checked it out. What is it that you don't like about Cockeysville?

We will have to look. Currently they don't really have anything that fits what we're hoping for, but these definitely weren't on our radar before! Thanks.

Get a shorter-term rental, then decide? I don’t think you should commit to anything anywhere sight-unseen for longer than a month. And the good places get snapped up fast, you want the leisure to be choosy. I would personally hate to be stuck in a Cockeysville apartment at any age.

Maybe towson is a good middle ground? It has a small downtown area but still not a big city. Lots of rowhomes that could give you the yard / entertaining space you want but still have proximity to suburban style shopping.

Best of both worlds, check out lauraville/Hamilton. In the city, stuff to do and plenty of green space and kind neighbors

I do love it when people do something openly villainous. Like McMahon writing a backdoor clause into the WWE bylaws that makes it impossible to remove him.

Yes imprisoning people whose politics I disagree with is a great move! Why didn't we think of this sooner?

Plenty of air bnb places in Baltimore city. Y’all could spend a week just trying different neighborhoods out.
