Mount Vernon
Mount Vernon wears its history on its sleeve, then asks if you have read enough Henry James to appreciate it. The Walters, the Peabody, the original Washington Monument, and townhouses that have outlasted three economies. Dating here means cocktails at a marble bar, a slow walk past the fountain, and the implicit understanding that someone will mention opera before the second round. Walkable, queer-friendly, properly dense, the rare Baltimore neighborhood where pedestrians outnumber parking spaces by design. The tradeoff is parking, the other tradeoff is rent, but you came for the columns and the cultural gravity, not the convenience.
