The suburban rendition of the Baltimore Highlands
When discussing the Baltimore Highlands, specificity is more important than might usually be expected. “The Baltimore Highlands can get confusing because there are two of them. There’s one on the East Side, and then there’s this one that’s across the county line in the Halethorpe-Arbutus zip code,” says Charles Billig, owner of A.J. Billig and Company and lifelong Baltimore resident, who has sold real estate in the city for nearly 20 years. “It has access to the Light Rail and major commuter routes in the area, and it’s right by the Baltimore Washington International Airport commercial corridor.” Populated by mostly single-family homes, the county-side rendition of the Baltimore Highlands tends to be more understated than its neighbors, Arbutus, Halethorpe and Brooklyn Park. But although it is not as well-known by outsiders, residents appreciate that their slice of suburban quietude does not come at the cost of commuter convenience.
When you live in Baltimore Highlands you are not far from downtown Baltimore.
The light rail in Baltimore Highlands is a great way to get to downtown Baltimore quickly.

Midcentury homes are more common than the traditional Baltimore row house
The tightly packed square lots of the Baltimore Highlands attract prospective buyers due to a difference from surrounding neighborhoods. “It’s main distinguishing feature is that it’s populated entirely with detached homes, not traditional Baltimore row houses,” Billig says. “Most of the homes date to the mid-20th century, and prices have gone up in recent years. Other areas, like Halethorpe and Arbutus, tend to be more highly regarded, though, so it hasn’t had as much of a price surge.” Colonial Revival cottages and raised ranch-style homes built in the mid-1960s sit side-by-side with large Modern Traditional houses built between 1980 and 2024. Many lots on the checkerboard streets are large enough to accommodate backyard pools, and nearly every home is within walking distance of the local elementary school and the train station. Prices for single-family homes can range from around $200,000 to over $565,000, depending on the number of bedrooms, build year and size of the lot.
Ranch style homes are quite common in Baltimore Highlands.

This path leads to the Southwest Area Park boat ramp, used frequently by locals looking to spend weekends on the Patapsco River.

Baseball games at Camden Yards and combat sports at the Maryland Live! Casino

Folks who are not keen on sports can still depart at Camden Station and make the walk to the Inner Harbor for concerts at Power Plant Live! or Pier Six Pavilion, two of Baltimore’s most frequented venues. Residents can also venture to Maryland Live! casino, located at Arundel Mills Mall, for stand-up comedy shows, live music and MMA bouts.

Many of Baltimore’s most vital thoroughfares converge near the Baltimore Highlands. “That community is close to pretty much every major area highway,” Billig says. “It’s right next to Route 295 and Interstate 895, and from there, you can quickly get to the Beltway or Interstate 95.” Those commuting into Baltimore can also catch the Light Rail at Baltimore Highlands Station, making the trip downtown in around 10 minutes.
Maryland's most famous seafood is within arm's reach
Grocery stores like Aldi, LA Mart and Megamart Baltimore are located along the Patapsco Road corridor. For daily household necessities, the closest big-box retailer is the Walmart Supercenter in Lansdowne Station. One of Central Maryland’s most beloved restaurants, serving the state’s most iconic seafood, is a short drive from the neighborhood. “It’s very close to G&M Seafood, which is famous for its crabcakes,” Billig says. Along Annapolis Road, which bisects the neighborhood, locals can grab a drink at Honey’s Bar and Grill, pick up lunch at Three Bears Carry Out or stop into Shannon’s Pub for a burger after work. The Highlands are also a short drive from one of Maryland’s largest shopping malls. “It’s right between Baltimore and Arundel Mills, basically,” Billig adds. “There’s lots of entertainment and shopping within reach.”
