Barclay Community Spotlight

I know, I know...Barclay's adjacent communities like Station North Arts District and Charles Village are always getting the attention! Marcia Marcia Marcia (for those who know the Brady Bunch)! Well, Barclay is absolutely deserving of the spotlight too. Let me tell you why.

The area is recognized as being desirable for continued investment, as evidenced by not only the grand, beautifully rebuilt 3 story homes that are becoming available (such large spaces are not as commonly available in different areas of the city), but by major entities that have chosen to put down roots in and around Barclay. According to CoreLogic, Barclay is ranked in the top 35% of neighborhoods in the nation for investment security, and is a Rising Star on the appreciation index, indicating values are forecasted to appreciate 30% or more over the next 3 years.

Already home to renowned institutions like MICA and Johns Hopkins, and an epicenter of Baltimore's nationally recognized music scene, this cluster of neighborhoods continues to have exciting plans in place that project massive potential increases in value over time. Most notably, (and pay attention if you work in DC or New York!) the $150M+ commitment for phased transformation of Baltimore's historic Penn Station, to include a high speed platform, retail establishments and apartments.

Barclay is PERFECT for anyone who appreciates the walkability to highly regarded restaurants, bars, cafes, theaters, music venues, educational institutions, cultural establishments, and annual festivals, but prefers to easily return home to a quieter, cozy block.

A neighbor on a wide, tree-lined block of E 22nd St, who has owned her home since 2014, shares why she loves it: "I could move back to Brooklyn, but I don't WANT to. The community feel here is great, I can walk to so much, and I love running into the same people at the farmer's market or out on a walk around the neighborhood." Who can argue with that?
