Suburban feel within city limits
A part of the greater Hamilton-Lauraville area of Northeast Baltimore, Christopher may be within the city limits, but the neighborhood feels more like a suburb, says local Realtor Donnie Meyd, who’s lived in Baltimore for 14 years and has sold homes in the metro area and surrounding counties for the last 10 years. “Christopher is a tight-knit, front-porch community where people sit out, enjoy the weather and say hello to people passing by on the sidewalk. It’s long-established. You can see it in the tree line and the long-term residents.” Exclusively residential, Christopher is within walking distance of shops and restaurants, a major park and local public schools.
Christopher is a densely populated neighborhood located north of Downtown Baltimore City.

Homes with character
Homes in Christopher evoke a feeling of old-world charm, most built between 1920 and 1950. Single-family Cape Cods, cozy cottages, bungalows and larger Craftsman-style homes, Dutch colonials and American foursquares line the narrow streets with little traffic of this quiet neighborhood. Homes here come with a lot of character, such as stained-glass windows, hardwood floors, built-ins and crystal door knobs. “The lots are a decent size, too, not something you find all over Baltimore,” Meyd says. “The closer you get to downtown, the more you find all rowhouses. So having a little more yard is nice.” Prices in Christopher vary from the $150,000s for a fixer-upper to the mid $300,000s for a newly renovated home.
Classic Four Square homes with small yards fill the residential streets of Christopher.
