Fells Point
Fells Point unrolls along the cobblestones of Thames Street, a waterfront neighborhood where colonial-era shipbuilding roots meet modern-day dining and nightlife. Just east of Downtown Baltimore, its promenade and marina views draw runners, dog walkers, and paddleboarders, while indie boutiques, record shops, and coffee bars fill brick storefronts. Culinary choices span oyster houses to quick crab-cake counters, with the restored Broadway Market anchoring casual eats. From the pier, the Baltimore Water Taxi turns commuting into a scenic hop to Harbor East and the Inner Harbor.
Housing ranges from carefully preserved rowhouses with original cornices to converted warehouses and newer condos, many with balconies framing sunrise over the Patapsco. Families appreciate pocket playgrounds and easy access to Patterson Park’s fields, while professionals like the quick link to nearby Canton, Little Italy, and Federal Hill. Students are served by Baltimore City Public Schools, including neighborhood options such as Commodore John Rodgers Elementary/Middle and notable charters close by.
Evenings bring street musicians to Broadway Square, happy-hour patios that glow under café lights, and weekend festivals that celebrate the area’s maritime heritage. Whether you’re drawn by seafood, historic architecture, or a car-light lifestyle, Fells Point delivers a walk-everywhere address with a tangible sense of place.
