Anyone else feel this way? Household incomes average around $79,812 in Reisterstown. Median household income is $79,812, which feels about average for the area. Poverty rate is 8.2%, which is pretty low. The food scene here is surprisingly good. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Does this match your experience? Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The city has invested a lot in new development.

As someone who grew up here, it was the best decision I ever made. A lot has changed in the past few years though. cost of living used to be much affordable but now it's surprisingly good.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value cost of living, you'll love it. The healthcare is genuinely better than expected and I've found it was the best decision I ever made. My neighborhood (Springfield) is stable and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Minneapolis, be prepared for the culture shock. school system is completely different here. And Property taxes are high.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.
