Moving to Baltimore

Baltimore’s 225 neighborhoods and surrounding suburban enclaves offer something for everyone—cobblestoned historic districts with hip boutiques and vibrant street life, leafy sidewalk-lined lanes, high-rise apartments and condos, and the rowhouses for which the city is famous. Baltimore’s affordable cost of living compared to other northeastern cities has earned it a reputation as a great place for students and young professionals.
