Cottages, townhomes and bungalows under shady trees
Lake Walker has a diverse variety of quaint single-family homes, from cottages and bungalows to Cape Cods and ramblers. Garden-style apartments and red-brick rowhouses line several neighborhood streets as well. The dense tree cover adds to the community's scenic, leafy appeal. Although more residents rent rather than own their homes, there are numerous properties on the market for homebuyers. Home prices range from the lower $200,000s to the upper $500,000s, varying by square footage, lot size and remodel status. Potential buyers need to be aware that the cost of living can be a factor when deciding to live in North Baltimore rather than Baltimore County. “There’s a higher cost, being in the county as opposed to the city,” says Dylan Miller, a Baltimore native and Realtor with Cummings and Co. Realtors. “You can see that from an inventory perspective; there's more inventory in the city.”
