Rowhouses of several eras and Contemporary condos
The compact city streets of Riverside are lined with a wide variety of rowhouses, some dating back to the early 19th century and some built within the last decade. These homes range from the low $200,000s to around $1 million, varying by square footage, age, and amenities offered, such as private roof decks and attached garages. “Most homes are not on the water really, it's mainly going to be folks with roof decks in the area that would have views of the river,” says James Baldwin, a Realtor with Compass, with over 18 years of experience serving the greater Baltimore area. “It's close to local marinas, though.” There are also contemporary-style condominiums that are priced from the high $100,000s to the low $600,000s, varying by square footage and amenities offered.
