Why do people move to Rosemont?

What usually appeals to people about Rosemont is the modest townhouses and the connection to Gwynns Falls/Leakin Park, which is right next door. It’s also easy to reach public buses around the neighborhood, and the West Baltimore Train Station is a five-minute drive from home. Since it's on the western edge of the city, you can easily reach shopping and dining options in Baltimore or in the outlying Baltimore County, just a few miles from home.

Commuting around Baltimore by car, bus or train

Commuters can reach Downtown Baltimore and the Inner Harbor with relative ease, since they're just 4 mile away via U.S. Route 40 east. “It’s convenient for government work, it’s not far from the Social Security Administration at all,” says Wayne Davis, a broker with United Real Estate Executives, with over 22 years of experience serving Maryland. “It’s also convenient for Beltway access.” The Social Security Administration headquarters is just 4 miles west, along with Interstate 695, also called the Baltimore Beltway. For those days when you don't want to drive yourself, LocalLink and CityLink Gold bus lines stop on North Avenue nearby.

Crime

Baltimore has seen a significant drop in violent crime rates in recent years, thanks in part to city-led community involvement efforts and the dedication of proud Baltimoreans. However, potential homebuyers need to be aware that Rosemont has a CAP Index Crime Score of 9 out of 10, higher than the national average score of 4 out of 10.
