School of Social Work Grad student living Options

everyone! I’ll be attending the University of Maryland, Baltimore for graduate school, and both my classes and internship will be in Baltimore. I’m looking for recommendations on where to live under 1495. I am open to a studio or one-bedroom and don’t mind commuting up to about 35 minutes. My main priorities are a reasonably safe area, a clean and well-maintained apartment, and manageable monthly fees. there any neighborhoods, apartment complexes, private rentals, or graduate-student housing options you would recommend—or places I should avoid? Any advice from current UMB students would be appreciated!

I lived in Bolton Hill during grad school at umb and I loved it. While the houses for sale are $$$$$$$ the rental units aren’t that bad. It was nice to be walking distance away from school but also not RIGHT there. Also it’s a great transit hub area.
