Diverse housing styles after decades of development
After several decades of distinct construction, Rosedale’s housing styles are quite diverse. “There’s something for everybody in Rosedale,” explains Frederick Golding, Realtor with Re/MAX. “You’ll find some very nice Colonials, split foyers and ramblers. But then there are these huge, detached homes well over 4,000 square feet. And you still have two-story red brick row homes.” From neat, square lawns with narrow sidewalks to full-fledged driveways and attached garages, subdivisions often vary by street. Baltimore’s classic townhomes and row homes are more commonly found in the community's northern region, ranging in price from $150,000 to $400,000. Single-family homes, however, including Cape Cods and Colonial Revivals, range from $250,000 to $600,000.

Festivities around Charm City
Marylanders know that Pickles Pub is the place to be before and after an O’s game at Camden Yards. But M&T Bank Stadium is known for more than just Ravens games—internationally renowned performers often use it as a concert venue. The Inner Harbor is packed on Independence Day as swarms of locals and out-of-towners gather to watch fireworks over the water. And the same energy carries over at Artscape in August, a three-day festival attracting thousands to appreciate local artists, musicians and food vendors. Between arena shows and unique experiences like Miracle on 34th Street—a walking tour of row homes pompously decorated for the holidays each year—Baltimore City is where most of the action is.
