Question About Curtis Bay Area

LoneRanger · Apr 21, 2014

Concur with the others...you really do not want to live in CB or Brooklyn Park...that's the wrong direction from the CG Yard....you want to go in the other direction.

There a good number of nice communities that are serviced by Northeast High School....

Severna Park HIgh is probably a little nicer school (Go Falcons, class of '70) but the area serviced by it is a little more pricey.

Where I live in Crownsville (Arden) is in the aforementioned Old Mill district. My kids went to HS in their mothers district.
I've worked with a number of youth in my church who went to Old Mill as well having my nieces go there. It's a decent school. Someone mentioned Pasadena....Chesapeake used to be a pretty good school...I just don't know any kids (that I can think of) who have gone there lately. Northeast had a so-so reputation many years ago, but I can't speak to it more recently. I would still say if you can find something in your price range in Arnold or Severna Park you'd be very happy with the school. Arden on the Severn in Crownsville is a nice Water Privileged community (several community beaches and boat launching ramps). Prices from about $280k - 1million (for prime waterfront). Also a pretty good recreation area (Arden Fields - soccer, baseball, lacrosse, field hockey, etc)

Hey there fellow Falcon!

My daughter goes to Northeast. Graduates this year. School was fine and she had no problems there. Yay for my probable Valedictorian

I'd look in at the area between/along Rt.100 & Rt. 32 from eastern Severn (east of RR) to the bay. Prices vary widely, but the area is generally decent with good schools.

Agree with Arnold, Severna Park, Crownsville area...Curtis Bay really is a not so nice DUMP.

Once again, thanks to all for you input. I haven't spoken to Cassandra to see if she has followed this link yet. I will do a C&P on comments and pass them on to the family. I'll say now on behalf of the family "Thank You".

Pasadena Rivera beach are all close good schools to

I've worked at the CG YARD both active duty and now as a civilian for close to 10 years. It is well worth the drive from Harford County.

Rickman · Apr 22, 2014

jabber6, that would be fine for me as a Grandpa as I live in Cecil.

I wouldn't want Brooklyn Park either for that matter.

Thanks...there are several members here that would disagree...but this is America and to each their own...

Crofton seems to be a nice area too. Have a bunch of friends who live in Millersville and really like it.

Crofton is beautiful but too close to DC ... commuters with fat paychecks living there, one of the priciest locales in the whole state.

Most commuters live on the north side of Baltimore Harbor, so a southside commute like Millersville, Glen Burnie, Pasadena will avoid that daily jam up getting onto I-95 to slide on up to the decent neighborhoods on the north side.

Curtis Bay is a sh!thole. There is no place I'd ever consider living in Curtis Bay. It's industrial, full of drugs and prostitutes, sh!itty bars, smells horrible and the homes are for the most part run down dumps. I've worked there for 15 yrs, I know it well.

Good news is there are plenty of places within 15-30 minute drive that are nice. Severna Park, Arnold, Severn, Crownsville, Edgemere have nice parts or around the other way Timonium or Towson, though you would have to cross the bridge or tunnel each day. Rentals for 4 bedrooms are going to be expensive in these parts.

As everyone said avoid Curtis Bay and Brooklyn. I live in Edgemere/Sparrows Point and work at the CG Yard. It is a around 8 miles for me and takes a little under 15 min. I would recommend the area or Pasadena/Riveria Beach since its so close.
