Description

The Greektown community is a traditional yet up and coming neighborhood that has been a major destination of SouthEast Baltimore for decades. Greektown offers the best elements of any Baltimore neighborhood; safety, close proximity to major highways, a great school, strong churches and a charming business district thriving with Greek flavor. Residents of Greektown are fortunate to have the SouthEastern Police District and Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center within its borders. Greektown is also undergoing numerous exciting major commercial and residential development initiatives that will add to the vibrancy of the community. Greektown is comprised of a great mix of cultures and working class that has recently become a growing destination of the young professional.

History

We've been around for about eighty years. We know where we've been - we know who we are - we even hope we know where we are going - but don't ask us what we call ourselves unless you want a lively debate. We started as a county suburb of Highlandtown and have been called Highlandtown, East Highlandtown, Highland Hills, Bayview, and The Hill, along with some other names that weren't so nice. Longtime residents call us the Hill. Most people know us as Greektown. Residents and visitors alike know us as a "Great Place To Be." Home of the annual Greek Festival & Greek Parade. St. Nicholas Church is a centerpiece and anchor of the community.
