The dawn’s early light shines overtop of Locust Point in the Inner Harbor

Home to Fort McHenry and the 1814 conflict that inspired Francis Scott Key to pen “The Star-Spangled Banner,” the peninsular neighborhood of Locust Point brims with history, culture and community. Overlooking the Inner Harbor in what began as an industrial area in 1845, it expanded with the influx of Eastern European immigrants in 1868. Many blocks of now-historic two-story rowhouses were built to meet the housing demand of the 1800s. Today, much of the architectural design of Locust Point remains the same, interspersing the historic and industrial with the new. Two- and three-story brick rowhouses feature small front porches and narrow backyards. Newly constructed townhouses offer more space and modern amenities. Locust Point has several luxury condos, too, with waterfront views, balconies, parking and concierge services. Locust Point’s nearly 2,000 residents enjoy abundant retail, restaurants, coffee shops and parks. According to COMPASS Realtor Charlotte Eyring, a Baltimore real estate agent for over ten years, “One of the best things about living in the heart of Baltimore is being within walking distance to abundant city amenities. From the Inner Harbor to restaurants and more than 60 museums, Baltimore has so much to offer, from the historic to the modern and cutting edge.”
