Baltimore -- the colorful, diverse city that is Maryland's largest city and economic hub, is known for its beautiful harbor and quirky, distinct neighborhoods. With the rich history the city boasts, it's amazing that Baltimore hasn't been deemed one of America's greatest historical destinations.
It's no wonder that new residents and longtime Baltimoreans alike love Patterson Park. That Southern Living magazine ranked us among the nation's top "comeback" neighborhoods.
And that the Baltimore Business Journal has recognized Patterson Park as one of Baltimore's hottest neighborhoods for buying a new home. Patterson Park is a special place that's moving into the future while keeping its best traditions from the past — friends, family and community.

Mount Vernon is a special place, rich in history and vibrant in the present, a neighborhood that beckons residents and visitors to take their time and enrich their lives.

No neighborhood says “Bawlmer” quite like north Baltimore’s Hampden, a 19th-century blue-collar mill town that has evolved into the epicenter of hipster Baltimore kitsch.
Made famous for its starring role in John Waters’ films and long known as the place where everybody calls you “hon,” Hampden centers on 36th Street – known to locals simply as the Avenue. You’ll find original shops and an eccentric array of cafes mingling with the barber shops and pharmacies that keep this authentic, hardworking neighborhood real.

Fell's Point is a spirited waterfront community in perpetual celebration of Baltimore's British nautical roots.
The neighborhood's visage has remained largely unchanged since its founding and attracts many visitors. Explore the 18th- and 19th-century homes and storefronts – most were once one of the "three B's": boarding houses, brothels and bars. Chesapeake Bay cuisine is at its best here too, whether you crave oysters on the half shell at a local pub, or fresh seafood at an upscale restaurant.
