About Baltimore, MD

The beautiful city of Baltimore can trace its history back as far as 1706 when it was a primary trade port for a very young country. Ever since, Baltimore has been one of the most popular spots on the east coast to live, and has such devoted alumni as director John Waters and poet Edgar Allen Poe. Today, the city of Baltimore is still a vital trade port, but it is also an international business capital that features a population of 2.6 million people. With easy access to Philadelphia to the north and Washington D.C. to the south, Baltimore is one of the most logical places to call home for those heavily invested in east coast business.

Baltimore’s most prominent feature is the Inner Harbor. This beautiful and scenic area is filled with fishing boats, skyscrapers and unique shops and museums. But the fun in Baltimore doesn’t stop there. The city boasts brand new stadiums for both the local baseball team, The Baltimore Orioles, as well as the local football team, The Baltimore Ravens. There is always something to do in Baltimore, as it is a city rich in culture. The city is dotted with dozens of highly respected museums, art galleries and universities that give the city a young and vibrant vibe that keeps even the oldest citizens feeling young.

The best part about Baltimore, however, is its location. Not only is it still a valuable port right on the Atlantic Ocean, but it is snugly put right between two other major cities, with New York just a little further north. This has created a kinship with both Washington, D.C. and with Philadelphia, and a bit of a rivalry, too. Baltimore is often compared to its sister cities to the north and south and it often tries to outshine its rivals in professional and collegiate sports, as well as with museums, theatre and even the local symphony. This spirit of competition keeps the Baltimore nightlife scene hopping since no one wants to sit back and allow the competition to bypass them. As far as Baltimore apartments go, there is a wide range of choices. The closer to the Inner Harbor and the downtown core you are, the more you’ll pay for your Baltimore apartment. But if you’re willing to live a bit away, you’ll find Baltimore apartments at a much cheaper rate.

A studio apartment in Baltimore will run, on average, around $700 for a unit approximately 500-600 square feet.

If you’re looking for a premium Baltimore apartment that you can fit even more people into, expect to pay $1000-$1200 depending on the area. A penthouse style unit with multiple bedrooms and bathrooms will run around $1500-$1700.
