Our Take
Dundalk offers a decent commute to Baltimore and a low flood risk, but the walkability and transit options are very poor. The home prices and rents are high relative to the median income, and there are limited local amenities. It may work for commuters who need a cheap base, but it’s not ideal for those who value walkable streets or diverse nightlife.
