Description
South Baltimore's vibrant community includes singles, families, and empty nesters. Many residents have lived here their whole lives, and many others have arrived in the past decade or even more recently. South Baltimore neighbors, whether they are young or old, of modest means or affluent, new to the neighborhood or lifers, share a community that combines Baltimore comfort and charm with nearby convenience and entertainment, such as the stadium complex and the Inner Harbor, as well as many benefits right here in SOBO.
SOBO kids can attend two highly-rated public schools, Federal Hill Prep and Thomas Johnson Elementary and Middle School. We host a library branch on Light Street, the newly renovated Swann Park, an active recreation center, and a public pool at nearby Riverside Park. South Baltimore is a safe neighborhood for kids and their parents.
SOBO adults enjoy the historic Cross Street Market, a year-round variety of street festivals and block parties, and the many shops and services of the business district. With walkable streets, several bus routes (including the Purple Line of the Charm City Circulator), neighborhood-based Zip Cars, and easy access to the MARC train and Light Rail, getting around is incredibly easy.
The residents of South Baltimore are served by the South Baltimore Neighborhood Association (formally organized as the South Baltimore Improvement Committee). The SBNA has proudly led the revitalization of the neighborhood while protecting it from rampant gentrification. The resulting balance has created a harmonious diversity that is a hallmark of the South Baltimore community.
