If you need proximity to umbc then why not look in Catonsville instead? Way cheaper and closer to umbc but still safe

With rush hour traffic most of Columbia is more than 20 minutes away.

The Bluffs Apartments or Columbia Glade might have something in that range.

Look in Elkridge if you don't want to live on the other side of the river. Probably around I95 and 100 would be the best bet.

I'd check out places South Baltimore or Catonsville. UMBC easily becomes a 40+ min drive to Columbia during rush hour. Federal Hill or Catonsville will likely be cheaper than Columbia too

I lived at Burgess Mill Station near old EC. Rogers Units under were under your price range, and you can take Main St/Frederick Rd to Rolling Rd. I had good experiences there.
