What I wish I knew before living in Pikesville

Clara J. Apr 8, 2025

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 6 years ago from Phoenix and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in East. It's decent for what you get.

Jobs: The market is established right now, especially in tech. If you're in real estate you might struggle.

People: Generally better than expected. It took about 12 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: excellent. Tons of options if you like seafood.

Happy to answer more specific questions..

I'm a software engineer and I've found it was the best decision I ever made. The community is average and there's always something going on.
