Housing in Baltimore

Greater Baltimore offers a superb quality of life for an extremely low price.

The affordability and variety of housing choices in Baltimore have spurred increased home sales, resulting in the best residential sales activity in a decade. Baltimore experienced an increase of buyers that resulted last year in a 41 percent increase in home sales. Today, 50 percent of Baltimore residents own their own home. The median home value is $69,000, but home values have been going up in recent years and are expected to continue to climb.

Neighborhood Housing Services of Baltimore, a private, nonprofit organization, is actively engaged in revitalizing the city’s neighborhoods — particularly the southeast Baltimore communities north of Patterson Park. The efforts of NHS have led to increased home ownership levels, improved neighborhood appearance and a stable local real estate market.
