A Thriving self contained residential and business community consisting of one family town houses. We are noted for our many restaurants, authentic Greek coffee houses, bakeries and small business of many types.

We are mostly white European descendants but we also include people of Indian, Asian, African-American and Hispanic ancestry living in harmony in a low crime environment. 

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.
