It is difficult for many people to go to a gym in my area because the only gyms that are around begin at roughly $50/month, and that is the YMCA. Past that, they go up to $75 and continue to go higher than that. I, unfortunately, must drive about 25 minutes away to my gym, where it is only $10/month.

Medfield is a quiet, family friendly and safe neighborhood to live in. Its close to downtown Baltimore and major highways, shopping, dinning and recreation activities. It neighbors very good public and private schools and hospitals. Very many activities to participate with the community and city officials like the mayor.

The local food is wonderful, however there are not a lot of options. Many of the businesses sell similar food items on their menus.
