Curtis Bay, MD Real Estate
Like Brooklyn, Curtis Bay originally a farming community. With the construction of new infrastructure and factories, a mass urbanization of Brooklyn and Curtis Bay took place during the 1940's and 1950's, leading to a diverse and integrated community that still populates the area today. Unfortunately, in the 1980's Brooklyn and Curtis Bay together faced an economic downturn as many of the factories that contributed to its initial success closed their doors. Today, however, as more and more young professionals express an interest in downtown living, the area is again becoming a popular neighborhood and revitalization efforts continue to help restore Curtis Bay to its former status. Residents are drawn to the area by its affordable real estate, breathtaking sunset views, and unique architectural details. One of Curtis Bay's best known landmarks, the artisan water tower, adds to the town's eclectic vibe, with its Roman styling and striking dome. Curtis Bay is one of Baltimore's most convenient neighborhoods for commuters with its close proximity to major highways and public transportation. Five minutes from the Key Bridge and the Harbor Tunnel, Curtis Bay is easily accessible to Downtown Baltimore, Washington DC, and other corporate areas like Columbia and Hunt Valley. Popular public transportation options located minutes away in nearby Brooklyn include the MTA Bus and Light Rail. The MARC Train, which runs to Washington, DC, is less than 15 minutes away in downtown Baltimore. With a median housing price of just under $100,000 for a single family home, Curtis Bay is an ideal water view location for first time homebuyers looking to enter a close knit community with a distinctly Baltimore edge.

With its hilly terrain, turn of the century Victorian style row houses, and modern town homes, Curtis Bay feels more like a quiet suburb than part of a large urban area.
