Dear Other Person: Those are for very large or new houses, probably closer to Baltimore County (and that is very important, especially to people who want to make use of the Baltimore County Public School system, which many modern Orthodox do). However the Hasidic population in Baltimore is concentrated in the area between Glen Avenue and Clark’s Lane, along Park Heights Avenue, which consists of older housing stock which is where the inexpensive housing is to be found. While 20th century houses are be definition “not new”, they are a lot cheaper the the newer “McMansions” – and they are well situated for those who prefer living in a neighborhood full of people wearing a kapotes.
