Rebirth of an industrial part of Baltimore
The history of Brooklyn, Maryland, is one of rebirth. Once a highly industrial area, the Baltimore enclave and its shoreline were highly polluted by the early 1960s, and major highways blocked residents from accessing the Patapsco River. After years of revitalization efforts, today, Brooklyn is a densely populated residential neighborhood with direct access to its local watershed. “Brooklyn is undergoing an interesting renaissance,” says local Realtor Frederick Golding of RE/MAX First Choice, who has over 20 years of experience in the Baltimore market. “People have been putting a lot of time, effort and money into their homes to make it their own.”
According to the CAP Index, Brooklyn has a crime score of 6 out of a possible 10, which is slightly higher than the US national average crime score of 4.
Brooklyn, MD has many attached homes.

Minimalistic Traditional home styles
Housing inventory in Brooklyn includes mix of single-family and townhouse options, some over 100 years old. “Brooklyn was built at a time when people had individual houses built for their own needs, so it’s not a cookie-cutter neighborhood,” Golding says. “Everyone has their own unique style.” Detached single-family homes in minimalist styles like cozy bungalows, ramblers and split-levels typically feature three bedrooms, two baths, and small front and back yards. Townhouses range from narrow duplex pairings to blocks of wider styles with red brick and stone facades and short front porches. A fixer-upper in the area may list as low as $35,000, while townhouses start at $80,000, single-family homes list for around $200,000, and new construction and waterfront locations may fetch up to $750,000.

Within the neighborhood, Garrett Park offers a slice of verdant open space for residents to stretch their legs. Views of the Baltimore Harbor provide a scenic backdrop to the park’s athletic fields and playgrounds. The Baltimore Boys and Girls Club, which offers after-school programs and other activities for kids, is also located within Garrett Park. Sporting facilities are found at nearby Bay Brook Park, including baseball diamonds, basketball courts, a soccer field, and an indoor sports pavilion at the Farring-Baybrook Recreation Center.
Brooklyn is also home to Masonville Cove, the nation’s first Urban Wildlife Refuge Partnership. Once a lifeless, polluted area, the rehabilitated ecosystem houses over 250 species of birds, including a nesting pair of bald eagles. Hosting thousands of student visitors each year, the cove includes public waterfront trails and an expansive education center for promoting environmental stewardship.
