A little Baltimore enclave
Boasting a population of only 360 residents, the tiny North Baltimore neighborhood of Richnor Springs is a densely populated residential area with proximity to all the city amenities. “It’s convenient to get around,” says Shannon Smith, a local and Realtor with nine years of experience selling in the greater Baltimore area. “It’s centrally located, so you can get downtown or uptown within a few minutes.” Richnor Springs also boasts a bit of a historic flair with streets packed with the classic turn-of-the-century redbrick row homes characteristic of old Baltimore.
Packed-in turn-of-the-century row houses
Traditional Baltimore rowhomes line the streets of the grided residential landscape, while narrow sidewalks provide ease of walkability. Many homes boast redbrick facades, flat roofs and short stoops, while some come with bowed fronts and bay windows. There are also several builds with unique front-gabled roofs with stone-inlay and Tudor influences. Duplexes are common in this area, as well as a few cozy single-family Cape Cod-style options. Though most homes do not have garages or carports, the broad roads provide plenty of space for street parking. Prices range from $100,000 to $225,000 for turn-key homes, with the average price hovering around $150,000. Homes that require a little renovation sell for a bit less, going for $30,000 to $60,000 with the average price falling around $50,000.
