Insurance & upkeep · $394/mo insurance, maintenance and repairs together, from the BLS Consumer Expenditure Survey — the national figure for mortgaged homeowners, scaled to this market's home value. BLS publishes the three bundled and they cannot be split.
Both are priced off the same month's home value, so they rise with the market. Neither is a quote — a specific home's bill depends on its assessment, its age and its insurer.

What it’s like
The place. Randallstown is a community in Baltimore County, home to a population on the older side, with a median age well above what you find in many American towns. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and household incomes run a little below the county's. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and frost common, while July brings the warmest days of the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with government, retail, and professional and business services also employing a good share. Walmart and North Oaks Communities, a continuing care retirement community, are among the largest workplaces in Randallstown itself. Commutes are on the long side, and a fair number of people work from home.
Things to do. The Maryland Zoo and Patapsco Valley State Park are both a short drive away, and Gwynns Falls/Leakin Park, a garden and green space, is close by as well. For a longer outing, the National Aquarium and the Baltimore Museum of Art are a longer drive away.
