Apartment location in Baltimore area

I am moving to Baltimore for three months this summer...July, August and Septmeber for a graduate school internship. I%26#39;m a 24 year old female and would be living by my self. Any suggestions on good locations for a person like me?

Safety is my main issue and because it just a short time, rent is negotiable; I just want a safe place to live. I do have a dog so I would need a place where I could walk her safely as well.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I%26#39;d suggest the north part of Federal Hill

I also think you would like Federal Hill. The adjoining neighborhood of Locust Point will also be good. Where is your internship?

You might be able to find a summer sublet in Charles Village

which is adjacent to the Johns Hopkins Homewood campus.

A lot of dog owners take their dogs to the Wyman Park Dell

which is directly across from the Baltimore Museum of Art.

Wjere is your intership?

Wyman Park is an excellent place for dog walking and summer recreation. Without knowing what school you are attending I would recommend Roland Park and Mt Washington in terms of safety and green space. In the summer there are quite a few sublets available (JHU Homewood campus area). As a former employee of Hopkins Homewood (and viewing the daily security reports) I would not recommend Charles Village.

I work around Federal Hill now and I am not sure that I would recommend it in terms of security, either. You have to be buzzed in to the Papa Johns and you complete post office transactions through bulletproof glass (if that is any indication).

Here are a few links:

Blumagoo - I%26#39;m sorry, but you are really inaccurate and misinformed about Federal Hill. It is the city and like living in any city you have to be precautious. The post office comment was quite funny. If talking about the post office on Ostend Street the ';plastice windows'; have been there forever - and what about the express window that has no window at all! I have lived in Federal Hill for nine years and fortunately have had nothing but great experiences. Do I walk around by myself after 11 pm at night, no, but I wouldn%26#39;t anywhere. If Awaldrop is looking to live in the city then all of the areas mentioned are definitely some of the safest - Federal Hill, Canton, Fells Point, Locust Point, Mount Washington, Ruxton, Mount Vernon, etc. Awaldrop please if you want to talk off line let me know.

Of course it depends on where you are attending school, but I%26#39;d recommend Roland Park, a beautiful old neighborhood with a village feel. Grand old houses, some of which are divided up into apartments.

Lots of private schools there so usually lots of people around. Just a really lovely spot. Several colleges in close proximity as well.

It depends on where your internship is. I would recommend Mt. Vernon. It%26#39;s the next part of the city about to boom.

south baltimore (south of cross street market) is perfectly safe - and may be slightly cheaper than federal hill proper
