Welcome to Frankford! Home to over 18,000 residents, this community in northeast Baltimore is one of the most populated in the city. Despite its size, residents commonly refer to Frankford as a quiet oasis, a peaceful place where folks head indoors by 8 p.m. to relax.
Featuring a wide range of housing options, prospective buyers can choose from single-family homes in mid-century styles like cottages, bungalows and ramblers, or opt for tall & narrow wood-framed Victorians complete with wrap-a-round front porches. Town house and row home options feature a mix of red-brick, stone and wood-paneled facades. The average housing cost here is $270,000 with price points varying depending on the age, size, and condition of the property. Newly constructed homes featuring five bedrooms and two and a half baths, can go for upwards of $325,000, while town house and row home options tend to stay around $175,000 to $200,000. “It may not have the rah-rah of other areas like Hamilton-Lauraville, but it’s certainly a good deal” adds Knight.
