Fells Point & Canton Real Estate

Fells Point and Canton Real Estate & Homes for Sale in Maryland

As Maryland’s largest city, Baltimore is active, diverse and rich with opportunity. Because the city’s population numbers in the 600,000s, it can be difficult to get a sense of what Baltimore is really like. Fortunately for homebuyers, Baltimore is a city of neighborhoods, each of which has its own history and sense of identity. Two of these neighborhoods, Fells Point and Canton, are particularly popular with dynamic home seekers as well as curious travelers. Both, located just a few miles southeast of the city center, capitalize on the cultural, recreational and economic benefits of Baltimore living. Fells Point, a nationally registered historic place, is known for its cobbled streets, eclectic architecture and scenic, waterside location. The old-fashioned brick buildings house an array of independent shops, restaurants, galleries and antique stores. On the residential streets, buyers will be pleased with the charming mix of older homes and modernized homes. Canton, just east of Fells Point, has industrial roots and a long connection with Baltimore’s working class. The neighborhood’s brick rowhouses and historic churches offer a glimpse into city life of the 19th century. Canton landmarks include O’Donnell Square, Canton Waterfront Park and Fishing Pier Park and DuBurns Soccer Arena. Both Canton and Fells Point have active marinas which offer access to charters and other boating activities. The two neighborhoods have a combined population of roughly 26,700.
