Canton, MD Real Estate
Canton is located in Southeast Baltimore and is a popular neighborhood for young professionals and newcomers. In fact, Canton is regarded as one of Baltimore's trendiest and emerging neighborhoods, known for its family-friendly community, urban lifestyle and hot spot for the social scene. Since the late 1990s, the neighborhood has undergone significant gentrification and continues to experience rapid growth as more development opportunities come into the area.
The waterfront area offers great shopping, dining, nightlife and recreation options. Residents can enjoy two public parks that host a range of events including festivals, summer concert series and community fitness classes as well as a lively community square all within a short distance. The heart of the neighborhood is a quaint square peppered with restaurants, pubs and shops along O’Donnell Street. Just outside of the square in the surrounding streets you’ll find the classic Baltimore neighborhoods—from the nearly lost Baltimore art form of painted screens to rows of marble stoops on brick and Formstone row houses. Housing stock in Canton ranges from the traditional Baltimore rowhouse to large, new-construction townhomes, waterfront condos and apartment buildings.
