Here are just a few reasons why you will love living a “City Life”:

Convenience: City residents often only need to walk one or two blocks to get their dry cleaning, pick up a loaf of bread or go out to a local restaurant. And, the proximity to Johns Hopkins ensures that residents have access to job opportunities and medical facilities of the highest standard.

Schools: Baltimore City has many great schools from Blue Ribbon public elementary schools, city-wide magnet schools for arts or technology, to a new wave of public charter schools including Baltimore’s first new K-8 public school in 30 years, Henderson-Hopkins (a $42 million project) currently under construction right in the neighborhood!

Beautiful Patterson Park, “Baltimore’s Back-yard”, is minutes away and offers sporting events for every level of sport enthusiast. And for your “creative” side - take in the shows, movies and workshops offered at the Creative Alliance at The Patterson.

Live Green: It’s no surprise that Baltimore was ranked as the 10th most sustainable city by Sustainlane in 2008. Your lifestyle can be more eco-friendly just by living a city life since you are closer to the amenities you need daily.
