Southeast Baltimore (Highlandtown & Bayview)
Highlandtown is a special and unique East Baltimore row house neighborhood which has remained true to its ethnically rich origins. Once the home to Eastern European immigrants, Highlandtown welcomes artists and Hispanic immigrants to a community that provides affordable homeownership and a vibrant arts and commercial district.
Bayview, located next to the John Hopkin's Bayview medical campus, features neat streets of brick porchfront rowhomes, some of which boast beautifully landscaped front lawns. Situated between Joseph Lee Park and I 95, Bayview is an attractive and convenient Baltimore neighborhood!

Healthy Neighborhoods Data
In the last few years the Highlandtown/Bayview’s HNI target blocks have seen some very positive shifts in their housing market. Median sales prices and rehab investment activity have both increased. Evidence of the desirability of the neighborhood begins to emerge as the number of houses sold annually continues to increase while the median days on the market decrease. Both the number of vacant and abandoned houses and the number of foreclosures have dropped, hopefully signaling the area’s growing stability.
On the target blocks,
- Median days on the market decreased 61%, dropping from 51 days in 2001 to 20 days as of 2006. From 2005 to 2006, median days have increased from 7 to 20 days.
