Downtown Baltimore entices different demographic
Came across this article by The Daily Record talking about how Baltimore is drawing a diverse crowd back into the city. Young professionals, empty-nesters, etc. Nothing new, but some nice photos of Silo Point and McHenry Point developments in Locust Point. And an interesting quote;
Despite this, what is going to be the hot city neighborhood in the next five to 10 years? When Archibald asks a young Realtor in her office, the response is Locust Point. “The people who live there love it, and it is a safe neighborhood,” she says.

Might have to agree about Locust Point being the best neighborhood for the future. In terms of easy access out of the city, close proximity to the harbor and Fed Hill. But most importantly, being blessed with a physically isolated location. The fact that it is a peninsula (Point) separates it from the bad neighborhoods that lay adjacent to many gentrified areas. For example - you need to go through both Riversode, and Fed Hill before you get to a real bad area of the city. Save for a few isolated crack hotspots at the Southern end of Fed Hill. So a potential robber/mugger is more likely to stop in one of the closer neighborhoods. Not that crime is non-existent on the Point - it’s certainly safer than most neighborhoods.
