Exciting? Depends on where you are and how far you like to walk. My part of Highlandtown is mostly quiet ish considering it’s a ton of rowhomes. But down on Eastern or Fleet (sort of Canton) there’s a lot there and a lot that goes on. This neighborhood does a bunch of community events and has a thriving neighborhood association. There’s often stuff at the park on warm days, lots of sports, and as others said, so much food and drink. There are at least three breweries (Monument City, Mobtown, and Ministry) along the periphery of the neighborhood too. We even have groceries and a fairly large branch of the Enoch Pratt library!

I moved here a year ago, and I’ve never been happier to live somewhere in my entire life. A couple months ago, my block came together to add cafe lights down the street, and now it feels like Christmas every god damn day and I love it.

If you’re looking for dense urban rowhome living that’s walkable to Stuff, there are more lively neighborhoods, like Fed, Hampden, or Canton, but this one isn’t bad; for me it’s just the right mix of quiet rows abutting busy main streets. And it’s just out of the way enough that we don’t get a ton of frat boy parties in my area (unlike Canton and Fells).

Parking still sucks, unless you have a parking pad tho
