moving to Baltimore!? Consider Mt. Washington

Ah, a reader suggested to me that I not forget about wonderful, beautiful Mt. Washington as a place for someone relocating to the Baltimore area. Actually, it has a fair amount of positive attributes:

• It's nice old Baltimore neighborhood with a strong community association, which is pretty to look at.
• If one works downtown close to the light rail route, it's a walk or short drive, depending on where exactly you live, to the light rail station in Mt. Washington village.
• A lot of people from out of town haven't heard of it because it isn't much on the young professional circuit.
• It has a fair number of nice apartment complexes, including at least one which is gated, and at a very reasonable price--much less than you'd pay in most of , say, Federal Hill, Canton, or Fells Point. Or you can rent apartments in privately owned big old houses.
• There's only one bar in the village, the Mt. Washington Tavern, but it's pretty good.
• You are very close to Whole Foods, Meadowbrook Aquatic and Fitness center, and the post office. Short drive to I83 or I695, and downtown.
• A community consisting of pretty much upper middle class people, including African Americans of that socio-economic class.
• Very close to Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods which are to the north and very safe.
• Very close to Sinai Hospital for fellows, post-docs, or interns working there.
• Relatively low crime in immediate area.

A couple negatives: 

• Very close to high crime areas of Park Heights, with heavy drug trafficking.
• Not close to someone working at Hopkins Hospital.
• Traffic can be heavy during morning rush hour.
• Buz likes Belvedere Towers apartment building--a high-rise with good highway access, large apartments for the money, hardwood floors, 24-hour doormen/desk persons, a small pool, small fitness center.

(Maryland Management took over the place last year. Huh. Wonder if they got rid of Peggy or Nikki, the two great, nice Property Managers.)

Thanks, Anonymous for the tips!
