Hm, okay. You might have to inquire to any garages or reserved parking lots in that area. Monthly rates tend to hover around the $150-$200 range (but I researched those #s a few months ago for garages near the Mt. Vernon/Downtown area).

Depends on what part of Mt. Vernon and which garage/management company you’ll be working with. I currently pay $180/month (will increase to $195 in January 2023) with an SP+ property.

Reply to Parking situation by captain_anglerfish
Depending on where you are in Mt. Vernon, an SP+ monthly parking pass for a garage could be an option (but it’s PRICY).
I get the peace of mind of always finding a spot, key card access to the stairwell, and security via cameras/gated entrance. And it’s only a block from my apartment.
It only works because I chose a living situation in a more commercialized part of Mt. Vernon so street parking isn’t an option.

I love driving so I might be a little bias. On top of my atypical work hours, going up and down I-95 isn’t bad. But on the days I worked 9am-5pm, the commute can be absolute hell.
I used to commute from Rockville to Baltimore (~45 mins) then a year later commuted from Aberdeen to Baltimore (~30-40 mins). And those estimates are on a good day. Traffic, lane closures, accidents - typical I-95 occurrences - extended my commute to 1+ hours.

Idk what style you're going for, but my artist is Inky McStapleface with Forevermore Tattoo in Catonsville, MD. She works with two other artists if her style isn't your thing. But she's fair and honest about pricing, time, placement, etc.

Huge vouch for Athens tattoo even if it's a little far out there. OP - their studio is amazing (and huge) and they have a ton of fantastic artists.

Reply to Potentially moving to Baltimore by mizprker
I wouldn’t check Chasen properties off your list just yet. I recently moved into one of them and have a handful of things to complain about, but I’m still relatively happy with my choice. 225 N Calvert apartments are also another option I’ve seen floating around if you’re looking in that area.

I just moved to Mt. Vernon and had the same concerns. Bit the bullet and paid for garage parking ($180/month) on Charles St. since it’s closer to me, but could be an option for you depending on where you are. Crazy steep, but I don’t have to worry about street parking.

I live in Bmore and grew up in Rockville and live not too far from SS. Generally speaking, it takes 45 mins if you’re on 95 to 495. Maybe up to an hour or an hour and fifteen minutes. Definitely doable, but can be rough during rush hour.
