Classic Baltimore rowhouses and townhomes
Densely populated, prospective buyers can choose from a variety of traditional Baltimore rowhouses and townhomes. These two- to three-storied properties typically have Italianate or Federal design influence, some with front porches and more recent renovations. “There’s a historic charm in these older homes that you really don’t see anymore,” Smith says. “Some are four stories, and some even have balconies on the roof.” Investment properties in need of restoration might cost between $70,000 and $100,000. Dwellings that are move-in ready with floor-to-ceiling makeovers, some with new appliances and fenced-in backyards, can range from $150,000 to $350,000 depending on the size and floor plan.

Coming together at Cecil Kirk and Boone Street
According to the CAP Index, East Baltimore Midway receives a crime score of 7 out of 10, higher than the national average of 4. The community is taking steps to combat this above-average crime score by offering kids a safe place to go after school and encouraging togetherness in park spaces. Cecil Kirk Recreation Center opens doors for neighborhood children through programs like marching band, hip-hop dance, swim lessons and floral designs. Boone Street Commons was designed and constructed on a volunteer basis, providing a community garden, and outdoor space for local events like Summer Movie Nights.

Local markets, lounges and wax museum
For essentials, residents will find an assortment of mini-marts and convenience stores scattered throughout the community, while Safeway and Save A Lot are just a mile west.

For a taste of local culture and a drink or two on the back patio, patrons stop by the long-standing Wooden Nickel Lounge. Another way to enjoy the neighborhood’s culture is by visiting The National Great Blacks in Wax Museum located on the south side, a wax museum highlighting notable African Americans from the slavery era to today’s athletes and scientists.
