It’s a commuter-friendly area connected to city buses, light rail and train stations, and it’s within walking distance of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County campus and the historic Lexington Market for a shopping run.

There are more renters than homeowners living in Heritage Crossing, with a variety of income-restricted apartment complexes. The main housing market consists of Baltimore classic rowhouses, priced from $230,000 to $300,000, varying by square footage and remodel status. “The Heritage Crossing neighborhood is interesting because it feels like suburban homes in a Downtown Baltimore setting,” says Mark Moyer, a Realtor with Douglas Realty with 11 years of experience serving the Greater Baltimore area.
The neighborhood’s close access to retailers and restaurants means locals can rely on other means of transportation. “The last two buyers I helped in that area didn’t even need cars, just public transportation to get around,” says Moyer. The nearest supermarket is a Save-A-Lot on Pennsylvania Avenue, just north of the community. Charles Street is less than a mile east and is a popular commercial and cultural corridor in the city, where locals can dine at gastropubs like The Brewer’s Art or breakfast favorites like Belvedere Bagels and Grill.
The much-loved Lexington Market is America’s oldest public market, first opening its doors in 1782. Today, it spans 60,000 square feet and features 130 merchants, offering a diverse range of goods, including produce, pastries, butchered meats, seafood, and counter-serve fried chicken.
Perkins Spring Square Park is centrally located in the neighborhood and features walking paths, benches and a gazebo. The nearby Robert C. Marshall Recreation Center features an open field space, tennis courts, and an indoor basketball court. Residents can visit nearby Charles Street, where they will find venues such as the Charles Theatre, which screens independent films, and the Walters Art Museum, a three-building art gallery featuring classical works of art and ancient artifacts.
Baltimore City Public Schools is the district serving Heritage Crossing. The district uses a centralized choice system for middle and high schools, offering magnet programs, open enrollment and charter lotteries. Placement is determined by academic scores, random lottery draws or available spaces.
Overall, Baltimore’s violent crime rate has experienced a historic decline in recent years, largely due to the effective community engagement programs implemented by city government and supported by passionate locals. However, potential homebuyers should be aware that Heritage Crossing has a CAP Index Crime Score of 10 out of 10, higher than the national average score of 4 out of 10.
