Housing in the Baltimore Washington area is expensive, compared to some other areas of the country. If you have school age children, you do not want to live in the city. The city schools are very poor. Some of the suburban school districts are much better. \n\nThe climate is not bad. Winters are generally mild, but a small snow storm will bring the area to a halt. Summers tend follow the three H rule. Hazy, Hot, and Humid.\n\nThere are quite a few options for restaurants and nightclubs. The inner harbor and Fells point areas have quite a few, and there are also some nice places out on York Road.\n\nI would recommend that you cone down for a few days and explore the area, before you decide to move.

that is what i am doing, but im not moving to another state, just another part of town.  you need to ask your self what kind of town is the best place for you.  what are you looking for.  small town were it is quite but no shopping centers for 140 miles (that is Gillette, WY. were i am at) or large city were you have tons of thing to choose from for your free time, but cost of liveing, crime , and houses are a lot higher.  there is no reason to be misrable if you dont like being were your at.  if you have the fredom of leaving when ever you want then do it.

a previous writer was right - cheap and in expensive are oxymoron's- you need to add more info- where will you be working? will you be driving < using public transportation ?will you need to get to a mosque, synagogue, or a church on regular basis  ? things to consider. \nBrooklyn like all  New York boroughs is a collection of small-for new york-ethnic towns with all the positives and negatives that brings. Me I' d live in Bay Ridge

It generally is a nice city.  I have visited there for a number of years.  But, just like any city, there are areas to avoid.  Generally anything down by an area called "the Inner Harbor" is nice.  That area is a tourist area and offers a lot of shopping and tourist attractions; specifically the Baltimore Aquarium.  That is wonderful.  The population seems to be largely African American, but there is a variety of persons living there.  Around the Inner Harbor area, you could jog, ride bike, or just walk for exercise.  Most of the city is pretty clean and well kept.  I hope this helps.

This is a tough one, and I am not sure Yahoo Answers is the place to get the best information.  I would suggest that you talk with some othe public health people and see what they say.  Are you going for a masters or a doctorate?  If it is a doctorate, do you want to spend the next few years in the Baltimore area or New York?  Are there financial considerations?  Which school is giving you the best package?  You might also want to check the webpages of various schools of public health, and see where the faculty members went to school.  I tried this with a couple of schools, but my finding were inconclusive--2 for JHU and 1 for Columbia, along with a bunch from Harvard.\nIf I was forced to make a decision about this,  I think I'd go with JHU.  It supposedly has one of the best hospitals in the country and Baltimore is near Washington, where I would imagine there are many public health job opportunities.  Good luck.

I don't know, but I almost accepted a job there a couple of years ago. And, while I was researching it, I discovered that it's a great place to live. The people are very well-educated and interesting. Based on what I learned then, I recommend it to you.

I have some friends moving there and she's been looking for a job.  There is supposedly a very large job market there.  Not only many jobs available, but many good jobs.\n\nIt's a great place for someone on the east coast looking for decent pay and willing to relocate!

Depends on where you plan to live. I would say to look closely at job postings for the region you're interested in. However, things can also change over your training time. The most important thing is, do you think you will enjoy this career? Are you willing to relocate? Then train for it and don't worry about getting hired. If you train well, get good letters of recommendation, and (as I already said) are willing to relocate, you'll get hired somewhere.

Cool, fun job!  \n\nI think you mean Natomas and if you are going to work in the capital that is probably the best place to live.  Newest homes, a little overpriced, but still worth it since they are so nice.  Downtown is nice and within walking distance of so many night spots, but most is older and a little run down.  Roseville is too far to live, it takes about 20 mins to downtown on weekends and during morning rush hour it can take an hour easily and if it is raining or foggy a lot longer than that.  Roseville is great, I love it and lived there, but I wouldn't do it again if I had to work downtown.  Don't move to Rancho Cordova or Oak Park either ;-)\n\nA 1 bedroom apt in Natomas is probably just a little over $1000 in downtown just a little less.  Roseville would be about the same as Natomas.

Not sure what this has to do with football...\n\nIf you don't mind traffic and you like getting more for your money, then YES!  I live by BWI and work in Bethesda and absolutely HATE commuting every day.  However, I could never afford a house like mine near Bethesda and I probably couldn't find a comparable job near Baltimore that pays what mine does.

You will love it. Howard is best black U in the US and you will be in Washington, DC, the heart of the government and a great place to live. Just be careful. Some parts of the city aren't safe. Always go out with groups.

We have relocated many times: \n\nFirst of all..do you work for a company that can transfer  you to that area? What is the draw there? Family? Friends?\n\nI would take a vacation to the area to make sure you like it first. Research the weather and community to make sure they are amenities you would want. \n\nLook for housing to see how expensive it is...go grocery shopping...all the things you would do if you lived there. \n\nThen look for jobs and see if you are employable in that area. See what the median income range is and make sure that you would be able to afford the cost of living for that area! \n\nMake sure that any family you would be moving with you is on board with the idea! Do you need to look at school districts for your kids? Is your wife ok with the move? Will your partner need to leave their job to acoomodate this move? Will your mom stop talking to you? \n\nAFter you do your research...then..try to get a job first. \n\nAFter you have a job..you can always live in a motel for a month or so while you look for an apartment or house or you can look online especially if you did your research while you were there. \n\nmove your stuff, sell your home where ever you are now with a trusted agent...and enjoy your new life!!\n\nNow, if your company offers a transfer..that is different! The company may have a relocation service available to them and you will already have a job..but make sure that you can afford the cost of living on your salary!

It really depends on what you're looking for.  There are four counties surrounding Philadelphia plus New Jersey across the river.  \n\n1. Delaware County: Just south of the city.  Has the best deals on houses of the four counties.  A 3 bedroom single can be found for under $200K.  Very accessible to center city via the SEPTA regional rail.  Some parts are just a 20 minute drive to Center City Philadelphia.  Good schools and okay taxes.  Some of the safer/affordable areas that I'm familiar with are Norwood, Glenolden, Brookhaven, Drexel Hill, Aldan, Aston.  Avoid Chester, Morton, Darby, Essington and some parts of Landsdowne. There's a slightly higher concentration of people per square mile in DelCo but I've found neighborhoods to be much more close knit because of this.  We bought a home in Delaware County after moving from Philadelphia.  We love it!  \n\n2. Bucks County: This is north of the city and pretty expensive.  You'll have trouble finding a good home for under $300K.  However, it's very spread out and safe.  Doylestown is still within commuting distance of Center City and a nice area.  So is Feasterville, Trevose, Bensalem and those parts of lower Bucks County.  I would avoid Bristol.\n\n3. Montgomery County: I think I heard this is the richest county in the state.  It's just west of Philadelphia.  I don't know too much about it but have heard that East and West Norriton are nice affordable areas.  Avoid Norristown though.\n\n4. Chester County: I know even less about this one.  Sorry. :-(\n\nIf you go over to New Jersey you'll be paying $3 in tolls to come to Philly.  But I know there are some good deals over there.  You might want to post a seperate question about that and see who answers.  Also, craigslist discussion forums were helpful to me when I was searching for a home/area to move to.\n\nGood luck!
