Reservoir Hill, MD Real Estate
Although Reservoir Hill is today at the mouth of the inner city, it was once considered one of the most rural areas in Baltimore. The beauty of the rural landscape attracted many of the prosperous merchants doing business in Baltimore in the 1800's, who established large estate homes to escape the heat of the city in the summer months. As the city grew, the area that was Reservoir Hill became more and more populous, with large Victorian town homes and mansions being built along the newly constructed streets and the scenic Druid Hill Park was developed as a recreational place for residents in the area. However, as the area continued to grow, the original upper-class residents relocated to suburban homes in the surrounding counties in order to escape the frenetic energy of the city. The large homes that housed the former Reservoir Hill elite were subdivided into apartment dwellings to accommodate the growing number of industrial workers flocking to the city and by the mid 20th century, Reservoir Hill was on a steady decline. However, given it's designation as a Historic Place by the National Registry of Historic Places, there has been a renewed interest in the revitalization of Reservoir Hill within the past few decades. In recent years, many of once dilapidated town homes have been restored to their former glory or updated into ultra-modern luxury spaces with high end furnishings and appliances. Few places in the city offer as much square footage, original architectural detail, and potential for growth as Reservoir Hill. With a convenient location just off the Jones Falls Expressway, dozens of attractions are within easy reach including the Maryland Zoo, the National Aquarium in Baltimore, and The Maryland Science Center. The prestigious Maryland Institute College of Art is within walking distance and Penn Station, with MARC commuter train access to Washington DC is only a few minutes away. With its active community associations, beautiful old homes, limitless potential, and an average listing price of $268,838, Reservoir Hill is a wonderful place to call home in Baltimore City.
