Baltimore is the Nation’s Best Market for Renting to Millennials

At least one publication thinks Baltimore is the best market for millennial renters. As a millennial renter myself I tend to agree- you get a lot for your money here.

I am also a millennial renter and I couldn't agree more. My graduate student stipend (which is very modest) gets me way further than it would in other places. It was definitely a factor in choosing Hopkins for graduate school. Columbia was on my short list, but I think I'd be struggling to feed myself in Manhattan.

I was a millennial renter too until a couple of years ago, and I agree as well. I made several CD posts about how the same amenities that I had in Mount Vernon/Midtown Belvedere at $750/month had cost me double while renting inside the DC beltway. After three years of living in Baltimore, I used the savings to payoff debt and then buy a house in the city. Now the same setup inside the DC beltway would cost me nearly $1800/month. I don't know where I'd be if I still lived there – on a smaller hamster wheel, I guess.

Not just millis... You can drive up and down some of the streets like Liberty Heights, Garrison Ave and a few others.. trashy run down once vacant apartment complexes are being rehabbed.. likely driven by both the tax credit program for housing and the city's incentives for new apartments. Hopefully once they are completed they spur interest in the surrounding blocks that they may have pulled down over the years and remain decent apartments for working individuals and families....It still seem silly just to offer it for apartments.. why not any development?
