Living near JHMI
Okay, let's get some things straight.   The neighborhoods directly around JHMI, in the past have not been good.  For many years, East Baltimore was a forgotten place.  Today, people still think that East Baltimore is not a great place to live.  But that is no longer true.  The area is definitely on its way up.   The once quaint two and three story row homes are springing to life. Look around today and you will notice that things have changed.   Vacant homes are a rarity and families, professionals and yes, yuppies are moving back in.   Why?  First, there is an 80 acre Biotech Park being built - with mixed use apartments, townhomes, retail, and office planned.   Over 30 acres along Broadway to Patterson Park Ave have already been demolished.   This multi BILLION dollar development has already started to change the landscape around the Hospital.  Additionally, if you haven't noticed - the Hospital is building a massive new building on 1 million square feet off of Orleans.   Over $4 Billion is being invested in East Baltimore - so the City has begun to help out.   The streets are clean, City Services, Security and Police are all over E. Baltimore, and people have begun to notice.   People want to live close to work.  Patterson Park, ample parking, affordable housing, and great value for the living space.   East Baltimore is becoming a gentrified and peaceful place to live.  

There are a lot of great blocks in East Baltimore filled with families and employees of the both the Hospital and many of the service providers of the JHMI.  The houses are typically attached row homes with 3 and 4 bedrooms with private fenced in yards.  Our homes are equipped with Security Systems and exterior and lighting.   All of our homes are cable and hi speed ready as well.   Below is map of one of the many free shuttle routes around JHMI.  Many of our homes for rent are near the shuttle route on the right of this map.
