My family needs more space!
Whether you opt to find a new home or renovate your existing home, Baltimore has countless options for space upgrades!
The city may be known for its rowhouses, but growing families have countless options for large, freestanding homes within the city limits. From Ten Hills and Hunting Ridge in the Southwest; Ashburton and Howard Park in the Northwest; Roland Park, Homeland, Cedarcroft, and Lake Walker in the North; and Lauraville, Arcadia, Beverly Hills, and Hamilton in the Northeast (just to name a few) there’s no shortage of family-friendly neighborhoods to choose from.
Would a few extra square feet or a finished basement give you just enough room to grow? Many programs, including those from Healthy Neighborhoods, provide low-cost options for upgrading and improving the home your family loves.
My family needs school options!
From public zoned schools to public charter schools to private and independent schools, Baltimore city provides you and your family with a healthy amount of education options.
Trend alert! Media in the 1980s, 90s, and even early 2000s told the story of a failing urban education system. What hasn’t been reported? Ever-increasing numbers of families are flocking back to high-quality, zoned, neighborhood schools in Baltimore City and across the country.
Baltimore City boasts one of the largest and most successful charter school networks in the country. Interested in a specific educational philosophy or program offering? The charter system may be right for you.
Families interested in private education have no shortage of opportunities in Baltimore. From parochial to secular, single-sex to mixed-gender, rich-in-history to newly founded, the city’s independent schools offer a wide variety of options.
Are you looking for an open house event? Check the Baltimore City Public Schools list for both public and charter open house dates. If your school of interest isn’t listed, please give them a call. Want to check out a private school? There’s a list for that too.
