Prewar townhouses make up the housing market

Buyers can select from a variety of attached townhouses around the neighborhood. The area was annexed to the city of Baltimore in 1888, and many of the homes here were built between then and the early 1950s. Home prices range from the mid-$200,000s to the lower-$500,000s, depending on square footage and home condition. “I’d say it's more homeowners that live here, but there are a couple of multifamilies that can be used as rentals too,” says Wayne Davis, a broker with United Real Estate Executives, with over 22 years of experience serving Maryland.
