Highlandtown

In southeast Baltimore, Highlandtown has been a neighborhood of immigrants since 1866. Residents of all professions and socioeconomic backgrounds, long-time residents and newcomers, mix harmoniously. A mix of new-construction apartments and townhomes sits alongside historic rowhomes. Special events featuring artists, performances, and rotating galleries make Creative Alliance a favorite among residents. Some of the best Latin American and new American restaurants here include Franchesca’s Empanadas Cafe, Snake Hill, and Sally O’s. Hopkins Bayview Medical Center and Johns Hopkins Hospital are nearby employers. Canton, Brewers Hill, Patterson Park, and Greektown are nearby neighborhoods.
