Next Friday, I'll unveil the long-awaited list of hidden-gem neighborhoods -- nice, off-the-radar and relatively affordable spots in the Baltimore region. In the meantime, can you guess the 10? Photos of each are above.
The person with the most correct guesses wins a copy of Our Lot: How Real Estate Came to Own Us by Alyssa Katz. Anyone with at least one correct guess is entitled to a Real Estate Wonk magnet.
Remember, each of the 10 is in the Baltimore metro area and had an average sale price under $250,000 in the first half of the year. More than half were suggested by you lovely Wonk readers.
Two hints: Each Baltimore-area jurisdiction has at least one. And a few of the spots are really communities, not neighborhoods.
You don't have to squint at the photos. Click on any and a larger version will pop up.

I spy with my little eye: what appears to be Knettishall / Loch Raven Village and Nottingham.
I'll take my magnet now. :P

I will neither confirm nor deny guesses until the big reveal next Friday. :-)

Are those mansard roofs in Ednor Gardens? The brick houses with the picture windows look kind of like Rodger's Forge but I think the prices may be a bit higher there. The smallish detached house could be Waverly (though they have more rowhouses than detached so it would be an odd choice to represent.. maybe Hamilton?).

I would think photo num 6 is in tuscany-canterbury...? But then, i doubt if it's sale price would be that low if it was. Hmmm

Sorry, LDWagner, the guessing period is over -- the big reveal was Friday the 13th. You can see the list by clicking on the "Hidden-gem neighborhoods" category link at the bottom of the post.
Thanks for giving it a shot, though!
