I live in Lutherville Timonium and it is indeed sleepy. We moved here in 2019 and lived a year in the city (Butcher’s Hill). Personally I never wanted to live in the suburbs but we have two young children and the schools are much better here than the city, which was the deciding factor for us- that and property taxes cheaper in the county. People are friendly here but yes most have children and you have to create your own opportunities to meet people for the most part (although I’ve been told pre-pandemic there were more block parties). I wish you all the best in this decision and hope you find something that meets your needs.
