BAYVIEW
A welcoming vibe and an affordable option for young families and retirees
Currently moving from being completely unknown to little-known, Bayview is nestled between Eastern Avenue, the campus of Johns Hopkins Bayview Hospital, and a large expanse of playing fields in South Baltimore. With a very low crime rate, flower-filled yards, and a calm, welcoming vibe, Bayview is a lovely, affordable option for lots of young families and retirees.
Home styles: Mostly brick townhomes dating from the 50s, with front porches and rooftop decks — not so much architecturally stunning as solid and comfortable.
Walk to: Johns Hopkins Bayview Hospital (so naturally, many young doctors in the ’hood), Ikaros restaurant in nearby Greektown, and the popular J.C. Romero’s Neighborhood Café, a long-time gathering spot for residents. There’s lots of bus service to Bayview Hospital and a Baltimore Metro stop as well.
Home prices: Current median is around $100,000, which is up one-third since 2012.
