In the heart of the City, an urban farm: Stalks of corn; trailing vines of winter squash; buzzing bees & greenhouse atop a garage...with sirens whizzing by; news helicopters hovering above; planes flying in/out throughout the day & night. Trouble parking in the crowded lot at the Waverly Farmers Market...but once there, I'm transported to a place where I'm buying fresh produce from the hands of those who grew it...just a few miles away! I sit outside with my husband & identify 17 different types of birds, while an alley cat chases a rat down the street. Someone breaking into my car to steal a crystal ball that hung from my rearview mirror...and the kind neighbors who chip in to help clean up the broken glass. It’s a perfect balance for me!
    -Christine, Beverly Hills

there is always something interesting to see and everything I like to do is convenient. I don't have to drive to see friends, eat a great meal or walk by the harbor on a nice day.
    -Lauren, Canton

I can be who I want to be.
    -Scott, Fells Point

I can walk to just about anything and everything a person could want or need!

I can get the best Indian food, even on a Tuesday!

I can wake up at 8:30 and be at work by 9:15.

I have the best neighbors ever!

Home to work; work to Druid Hill park; Druid hill park to an excellent restaurant—all within biking distance!

We've created an urban village to raise our daughter in. We live across from the best backyard in the city. (Patterson park). Walking to games, concerts, shops, work and school.
