History and revitalization in downtown Mobile
Once the edge of a flourishing Black and creole community called Down the Bay, the neighborhood of Baltimore is, like many historic neighborhoods for people of color, still recovering from destruction in the name of urban renewal. Businesses closed and families fled, but revitalization is now in the air. Just 2 miles from Mobile’s city center, the primarily residential area features a centrally located park, plus easy access to the central business district, Mobile International Airport and Interstate-10. It’s also home to Alabama’s oldest bakery as well as a vibrant community center focused on neighborhood connection and youth empowerment. In 2021, a $6 million-dollar improvement project gave the area a giant boost.
Baltimore Neighborhood streets have sidewalks, making neighborhood strolls or bike rides easy.

Blend of bungalows and ranch-style homes
A mixture of single-story ranches and bungalows, some with shaded carports, line Baltimore’s narrow streets. Lots are small and tightly spaced, with pocket-sized front yards. Many of the houses sold in Baltimore have been foreclosures. Many homes from the 1920s remain, but there are newer structures from the 1970s and ’80s in the mix, too. Homes tend to be single-story and on the smaller side, measuring around 1,300 to 1,600 square feet. Fixer-uppers can go for as low as $60,000, while updated homes are typically priced around $200,000.
Some homes are smaller in the Baltimore Neighborhood.

Moon Pies for Mardi Gras
Mobile is considered the birthplace of Mardi Gras— not New Orleans. Celebrations here last for two and a half weeks with parades of brightly colored floats threading through the streets, filling the air with strings of beads and flying Moon Pies. Most parades stick to the area around the Mobile Civic Center and Bienville Square, but some routes pass along South Broad Street just a couple blocks from Baltimore, ensuring that the voice of the revelry can be heard throughout the neighborhood.
Baltimore residents will enjoy the proximity to the annual Mardi Gras Parades.

Riding the WAVE
While there are sidewalks in this part of town, they’re more like paths — convenient for keeping out of traffic, but rough and overgrown in many places. The WAVE Transit System provides bus service throughout Mobile and includes stops along South Broad Street and Baltimore Street, two of the major thoroughfares that cut through the neighborhood. The neighborhood is adjacent to Interstate-10, and Mobile International Airport is just a couple miles away.
