Baltimore and philadelphia are my two favorite cities on the east coast, so i dont like to see them go against eachother, but philadelphia suburbs and city is overall significantly more expensive than Baltimore. There are of course exceptions, but as a whole it goes to philly, although these metros of these areas are similar because they are very established suburbs.
