Apartments and townhouses along Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard
Because the neighborhood is made up primarily of apartments, homes aren’t often listed for sale. When they are available, however, most consist of colonial-style townhouses from the early 2000s with vibrantly painted doors, all located along tree-lined streets. Properties are joined together by a well-kept sidewalk, making it easy for residents to walk to nearby universities and downtown. Because properties do not have a garage or driveway, most residents park on the street or use public transit. Three-bedroom townhouses typically include at least 1,500 square feet and cost between $200,000 and $240,000.
Heritage Crossing is a beautiful neighborhood right outside of Baltimore.
