Renovations by the community, for the community

Just north of the Johns Hopkins Medical Campus, Broadway East is becoming a bustling urban neighborhood in the heart of Baltimore. “This is an up-and-coming area,” says Mezette Meredith, a real estate broker with eXp Realty who grew up in the east Baltimore area. “The neighborhood is really turning around.” Local churches such as the Southern Baptist Church work with the community to restore buildings and uplift the community around them, from hosting weekly bible classes to helping support job training around the city. The American Brewery, which once stood as a symbol for the rest of the neighborhood, was recently renovated to its former glory in the Victorian architecture by Humanim and is now used as a health care and community center by Humanim. “I love Baltimore and I like being part of change for the better,” says Meredith. “It’s about the community.”
