Classic charm neighborhoods with high end values (at least to KC terms)As for the Silicon Prairie, I follow this quite a bit and have pretty good confidence in the Fiber-hood taking hold (Google's first internet service provider city is KC) with ultra-fast internet.  

Works like a charm. 

Fed Hill has always had that charm.

But my parents, my family, we've always bought old houses and renovated them and I GET them, which is a good thing in a city like Richmond, VA which is still full of charming old houses, with great bones, thankfully.

I could also buy something nice to live in DC for myself (a walkable neighborhood close to metro appeals to me - I’d rather not live in suburbs right now) and slowly 1031 some properties to cheaper rentals in Baltimore (I’ve always had a weird place in my heart for charm city after spending weeks out there with a buddy in college).

Thanks @Allen Fletcher There is a house around the corner from this (7 houses down) with less charm, but same sq ft, build date, yard size, etc. that doesn't have the traffic that this house does.

Don't be fooled by his charm and eloquent sales pitch.

Plenty of value priced, old world charm in Colorado Springs housing stock.

Worked like a charm and went quite smoothly.As an aside, I bought the property for a stellar price. 

That being said, it has it's charms and it is still one of the most affordable areas when it comes to watrerfront properties.
