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.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
