Revitalized community near Johns Hopkins Medical Campus
Once a place of disrepair, today Middle East is experiencing a surge of revitalization, partly because of its location next to the bustling Johns Hopkins Medical Campus. “Being so close to the hospital is a major selling point,” says Derek Blazer. “The convenience to the campus, downtown and Interstate 83 are drawing people to that area.” Middle East is an up-and-coming neighborhood with a mixed-use feel, offering newly renovated residential and commercial spaces, a hub of employment and a new urban park.
Residents of Middle East take pride in the neighborhood's rich cultural heritage.

Renovated rowhomes line Middle East's streets
Newcomers to the area can choose from two- or three-storied rowhouses with brick or stone exteriors and short front stoops. While most of these properties were built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, many buyers have completed overhauls to the interior, with new appliances, flooring, paint jobs and roofing. With the homes situated mere feet from the roadways, yard space is virtually nonexistent, though some provide private back decks and patios. Several of the sidewalk-lined streets here are dotted with mature trees to add a touch of greenery. Price points range from $100,000 to $310,000. Blazer says the area is part of “Johns Hopkins’ Live Near Your Work program, which provides money for down payments and closing costs to employees.”

Spacious parks in an urban setting
Newly designed Eager Park stretches across two blocks and offers a breath of fresh air amid an otherwise urban setting. Open fields are used for picnics, while kids enjoy running around the splash fountains and playground. It’s also been the site for community markets, giving free produce to nearby residents. Just a mile south, Patterson Park is a popular spot among locals who climb its famed three-story Pagoda, which features an observation deck overlooking the expansive green space. It also features one of two ice rinks in the city, basketball and tennis courts, and a playground. During the summer, people hop in the swimming pool, and a fenced-in dog park gives pups room to roam.
