The answer will really depend upon what you are used to, and your own likes and dislikes. People from larger cities (NY, Chicago, DC) will comment on the poor transit system and less than cosmopolitan atmosphere. Young people love the nightlife and attractions of Canton and Fells Point. Those who appreciate arts and culture enjoy the Mt. Vernon cultural district and the museums, theaters, and symphony.

I have lived in Baltimore for 7 years and I find it to be more of a patchwork of neighborhoods than a city. This is probably because parts of the city are isolated from one another due to rail lines, waterways, highways and the like. You have to check out the neighborhoods and find one that you like, and there's quite a bit from choose from if you research it.
