Those homes built in the 1900s will last forever. A lot of that new Barbie Dollhouse construction will have issues before you can bat an eye. As my grandmother would say “they don’t make em like they used to”.
The original houses in the area will last FOREVER!! They were built by hand, with STONE and BRICKS!!! If you can find one for sale and can do the rehab to bring it up to date, you will have a solid home that will last for years to come. Thank you for watching and commenting.

Man say what you want. This will be just like downtown Brooklyn NY The two story homes right across from the Barkley center were $300k now 10 yrs since the center was built almost $2million. These won’t be $2million but once the area be fully gentrified easy money very $6-700k within 5 yrs after completion of project.
Hello Dr. Anthony. I've heard about what happened in downtown Brooklyn from people who have bought homes here in Baltimore. They grew up in Brooklyn, inherited homes from parents and moved to Baltimore. I can see the area growing in price. Especially since it is right across from the MICA, an Arts College. Thanks for watching and your comment.
Nope ! The mayor in Baltimore put a cap on cost of housing and there Making majority of these homes affordable for the working class black millennial/gen-Z with lineage from Baltimore ! Especially those who work for the city
I’m from Brooklyn. Moved to MD in 2012 bought my home in Baltimore City 2016 . I considered Bolton Hill, Revisor Hill, but decided on Greenmount West/Station North
I ABSOLUTLEY AGREE. With the negative press, TV series and movies that have cast a dark light on the City, I too am glad that Baltimore is on the rise. Great things are happening here in Baltimore.

@@movingtobaltimore a few days ago, I drove through Reisterstown and Greenspring, so many mansions, new homes, wealthy people of all races live there, vineyards and farmland that is not showing on the news stations.
Good to see that area renovated. I left Baltimore in 1993. My family member lives right up the street on the 2200 block of Linden Ave. Also your camera skills are excellent!!!!
THANK YOU FOR THE COMPLIMENT on my video skills. I remember 1993 like it was yesterday. That's around the time or just after O'Dells closed on North Avenue. LOL. You're family is a stone throw away from these homes. I'm sure they renovation of the school was in anticipation of the new construction. There is a LOT happening in Baltimore. They tried to spark the renovation back in the late 80's with the development at North and Eutaw but years later, with MICA, this new development in the video and others sure to come, Moving to Baltimore and Living in Baltimore will something to be proud of.

I love to see this!! I grew up in this area and moved back when I was a young adult!! I’m excited to see what they do with this available space!! Great neighborhoods for sure!! Thank you for sharing Calvin!! ❤
As a small real estate investor in Baltimore City, we, Celmenton Bell Investment Group, LLC are glad to see North Avenue being rebuild. Can't wait to see the final job completed.
That's good to know. I recently sold a property to an investor from New York. He feels the same way. Thank you for watching. I wish you all the best with your investments.
Glad to see, change is long over due. My nephew works in the industry, Mason & Dixon construction. I hope the best for Baltimore. North Ave and Carlton ave is where I have family. As well as Poplar Grove and Edmondson ave. 2934 Edmondson ave is were my roots sprang from. Hats off to the town and Lexington Market. Keep it real, B-more. 5/29/24
I'm familiar with Mason & Dixon. My first real job was in new home construction so I got to work with plenty of companies back then. A lot is changing in Baltimore. If you have time, check out the videos I've done on Locke Landing. New Construction near Cherry Hill. I think Cherry Hill is soon to be redone. How soon, "SOON" is, I don't know. But living by the water in Baltimore is a HOT THING now. In June, a group of folks will SWIM THE INNER HARBOR. I'll have my cameras ROLLING so stay tuned. LOL. Thank you for watching.
@@movingtobaltimore My Nephew is Jayson and sister is Vernita of H.R. of the company. I'm down in South Carolina , in Greenville. So happy and glad to see improvement.

They basically forced out the tenants because the fells point and harbor east crowd was moving north. Baltimore housing projects are almost exclusively single moms because the list is so long for housing and they get priority. People with most kinds of criminal records are excluded from even living there and compared to other low income housing in Baltimore the crime rates are much lower than general low income housing as a result. Dont get me wrong there is still crime but not at the rates of other areas that allow anyone with rent money to live there. To make matters worse what once held two or three families in the same space will hold one unit further reducing the number of available units in the city. When we look to our leaders this is an example that begs the question - are you uplifting or replacing?
Thank you Mr. Anthony. I don't really know how to respond about people moving from Harbor East because there is a TON of development in that area. I've met a few organizations that help people with criminal records and most of those that have to get into those programs don't realize how hard it is to get that criminal record off their back until it's too late. I'm hoping that we can help more people realize the consequences of their decisions at an earlier age so that we can all come together as HUMANS and help our fellow man.

Just 2 weeks ago I was talking to realtors about moving back to MD because I used to work for the university of Maryland Baltimore. Baltimore is looking beautiful but where is the crime going?
It would be GREAT to have you back home. LOL. You can find the stats for crime through Google. I believe Baltimore is going through a few growing pains. All of which will subside and Baltimore will be an AMAZING place to call home. And if you need a local Realtor, I would gladly be of service. 😀😀😀
That's because voters have allowed section 8 and the housing vouchers move into our residential communities where home owners pay there good earned money and they come and destroy our neighborhood. So now they are putting all of these expensive homes in the city that regular every day working can not afford. @domow865
I'm super excited 4 the project. I just went & took pictures yesterday. The Ryan Homes r on the small side, but everything will b BRAND NEW. U won't find anything n Reservoir Hill, Bolton Hill, or Madison Park @ the price these r going 4. I have a home on Eutaw Pl that I was 4tunate enough 2 buy from my landlord, so this new development is much needed. Reservoir Hill is a lowkey gem n Baltimore. Close 2 I83 & I95, Penn Station, Lightrail, & more. I'm hoping they put a shopping center there similar to Northwood Commons n East Bmore by Morgan. The space is more than big enough. The community can use that, esp a nice grocery store (Harris Teeter would b nice), gym, dining, 24hr laundromat, etc. My only concern is parking & traffic.
There is so much going on in Baltimore. The administration is likely goin to go up to Coppin and revitalize everything from one end of North Avenue to the other.
@movingtobaltimore It's much needed & well overdue. I really hope the people of Baltimore appreciate the change. It will come with a small price, but will be well worth it.
Of course not. But they will find away to get the poor out, maybe some section 8 vouchers, or a couple of other ones that move the poor to the county, and move the rich in the city. Again it’s never about ordinary people/ citizens. But hey what do I know
Well, Baltimore is changing. The Maryland Institute College of Art, (MICA) is playing a large role for what happens in the area. With communities like Bolton Hill, Reservoir Hill and now Reservoir Square and a new, state of the art, school building, things are different in this community. If you watch the Part 2 video that I posted, you will get a better understanding of what was and what will be. Leave a comment and let me know what you think after you watch Part 2. Thank you.
I lived on Eutaw Place beautiful area and we had no problems living there. My son went to school just down the street. They are building that area up, schools, supermarket and parks in the area . They also built a Unity Hall 5600 block of Eutaw Place across from the supermarket and school. Really nice community building.
Calvin Watkins Jr. is the Realtor who’s always working hard to find you, your new home ! They are building up Druid Hill Park area around the reservoir. Really nice area and if you can afford to buy, that’s the area to invest ! 52 year ago we had an apartment on Eutaw Place . They did the houses over in Bolton Hill area and they sold for $1 million or more. Calvin Watkins Jr. thanks for taking the time out to show us the New construction going up . Beautiful three story homes with garages . Get on that List with Calvin because you can’t find a better person to help you find your new home . Love what you are doing Calvin Ms. Rogers
WOW!!!! Thank you SOOO VERY MUCH Ms. Rogers. I agree, the investment that Baltimore has always been looking for is finally here. New home developments in communities that were once a blight on the areas and now booming with new home construction. Thank you again for the kind words. All The Best to you. 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
I too LOVE the brick. Even when these brick homes are remodeled, I like exposed brick. Thank you for watching. Please LIKE, SHARE and SUBSCRIBE!!! It really goes a long way. 👍👍👍
Thank you. I think Richmond VA and Baltimore have a few things in common. I'm going to look into that. Thank you and I appreciate you LOVING my accent!!!!! LOL
Nice building. Close to everything. What happened to the people? I know folks are padding their pocket, but where are the people? Those that needed assistance, were they rehoused? Seniors? Disabled? Any grants for them to purchase?
Great question. I'm working on that backstory now and will post if for another video. From what I understand, there will be apartments built close by for those that can't afford to purchase one of these townhomes. Please stay tuned. Like, Subscribe and share. It really helps the channel. Thank you.
I'm from Baltimore (city/county). Some of my family (steele, watkins, love, etc.) came from NC (beaverdam, rockingham, & hamlet) up to Baltimore. My great grandmother was a watkins, so I was wondering if you're family was from there too? My aunt use to have a hair salon on north ave, my great aunt lived off of north ave (behind the penn/north station), & so did my granddaddy, in a senior apt complex (i think bolton or reservoir).
Hello Mia and thank you. It's been a minute. I have a few other channels about Real Estate. Check out @LivingInFrederick, @NewHomeConstruction, helping people buy, sell and invest in real estate. Please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE!!!💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
Fortunately, Baltimore doesn't have a lot of B&E with criminals kicking in doors. All homes should have good security and these homes are no exception. Property taxes in Baltimore City are higher than those in surrounding counties. Baltimore faces a lot of difficulty but the future looks BRIGHT!!! Thanks for watching.
I understand. But Baltimore has A TON of older homes with plenty of architectural value. They run from one side of Baltimore to the other. Especially in West Baltimore. Take a look at the marble steps on the row houses. My mother used to tell me stories about how they would wash the steps every weekend for pennies. That is part of the culture of Old Baltimore. Would be GREAT if there was a revitalization of the marble steps. Thanks for watching.
I just bought a home in Baltimore made in 1920 4 bed 4.5 bath but the neighborhood is not good..yet..but theres no housing shortage in Baltimore..it's the best kept secret on the East Coast..
I agree WHOLEHEARTEDLY. I created this channel to showcase this BEST KEPT SECRET so look for more neighborhoods to come. Please like, subscribe and share. Thank you. 👍👍👍👍
I attended MICA twice and this is a great look for Baltimore. Glad to hear those projects are long gone, but what happened to the occupants? I am curious.
MICA has been a major influence on the changes happening to North Avenue. I still remember the club O'Dells from WAY WAY back in the day. LOL. The projects were referred to as MURDER MALL. The occupants were likely given incentives to move elsewhere. Some to Baltimore County. Thank you for watching.
LOL!!! I remember hanging out at O'Dells just a few blocks up. And yes, Baltimore is a BEAUTIFUL CITY. The changes that are happening here are moving the city in the right direction. Thank you for sharing.
I live in the Milford Mill Community I am looking to move back into the city into a larger home what would be a good area in your in your opinion that would be safe affordable
@@pamelaflanagan9119 Affordabilty is relative, so not sure if I can answer that. The areas I would consider are Hampden and Canton. Beautiful townhomes that are 400k or less. If you’re looking for SFH then I’m not sure. I like Roland Park myself but it’s expensive.
I live in Baltimore county but Iam in Baltimore city many times in a week..This is a good project close to Johns Hopkins Hospital.The media does a misrepresentation of Baltimore as if people are shooting around all the time which isn't the case.Yes we can't ignore the gun violence in Baltimore but that isn't the face of this beautiful city..You gotta live in Baltimore to know that Baltimore is beautiful.If you keep reading about Baltimore in the news,you will never visit..Disregard the bad media portrayal of Baltimore and give it a shot...Baltimore is beautiful
BOOOM!!!! Exactly!!!! I have friends that work at ALL of the media outlets and they are HIRED to look for things that SELL NEWS to ADVERTISERS!!!! Baltimore is a BEAUTIFUL CITY and filled with BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE of all races, nationalities and creeds. Just like everywhere else on THE PLANET, we have a few bad apples. But Baltimore is BEAUTIFUL!!! Moving to Baltimore presents a GREAT opportunity to anyone looking to do so. Thank you for watching. Please like and subscribe. It really helps the channel. Peace
I've heard that from others. Unfortunately, so many people think they don't need a Realtor to help them buy New Home Construction. I've seen and heard HORROR stories about those that didn't use a Realtor. Now, I do my best to encourage people to do so. I do this EVERY DAY. New Home owners do it once or twice in a lifetime. The two don't compare. Thanks for watching.
Well, in this part of Baltimore, MICA, Maryland Institute of College and Art, is the BIG FISH in that pond. MICA is playing a HUGE ROLL in the transformation of this section of North Avenue. University of Baltimore is close by as well. Baltimore is changing and the fact that the builder of these homes has 700 people on a waitlist for 120 homes says others agree. Thank you for your comment. All the Best to you and your family.
WOW!!! That's COOL. I still remember when they built the Inner Harbor and as a kid, going to tour the site seeing the things they found in the ground like ceramic dolls, cookware and whatnot. Thank you for sharing.
I lived in Bolton hill close to MICA for one year, then decided not to renew my rental contract and moved out of Baltimore 2022. I hope things get better in Baltimore, unfortunately I didn’t have a good experience myself and Bolton hill supposed to be a good area, so I don’t know how’s living in a bad area there be like? Hopefully things change!
LOL!!! But Baltimore is BIGGER than the Wire. I HOPE they won't be doing anymore films like that here. It gave Baltimore a BAD NAME. Then, Life started to imitate ART. It's a NEVER ENDING CYCLE. Hopefully, Baltimore won't let anything like those TV series happen here again. LOL Maybe they will bring back The Andy Griffith Show and Mayberry. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😆😆😆😆😆😆
Each of these new homes will have a parking garage. I'm going back when they open the model. I'll give you all of the details then. Thank you for watching.
There are a lot of existing homes in Baltimore that are ranchers. They are located further on the outskirts of Baltimore City. Thank you for watching. Come back to visit when you can!!!
It takes a while for permits to get approved in Baltimore City. The community associations meet once a month so they too have viable input as to what happens in the neighborhood. The communities around Bolton Hill and Reservoir Hill usually a TON of respect from the City Government.
At the time of the video, they had not yet released pricing. As of this post, the prices start at $399,990. After the first phase, prices will increase. Please like and subscribe so that you can keep up with the updates. Thank you.
YES. Bolton Hill is one of the most respected communities in Baltimore. I'm glad the community has input. That's not always the case in Baltimore City.
This development has a plan for how they will handle the crime in the area and other parts of Baltimore City. With so much money being invested, you can MOST DEFINATELY BELIEVE that they are going to make sure this succeed. Thank you for watching. Please LIKE, SHARE and SUBSCRIBE!!!

Hello Danyel and Thank You for responding. I can all but guarantee you that not all neighborhoods in Baltimore are infested with crime and rats. I help people buy, sell and invest in real estate in communities and neighborhoods all over Baltimore and that is not the case for many areas of Baltimore. Some areas have an obvious problem with crime and rats. Other areas do not. There are some parts of Baltimore that you can drive through and see people throw trash out of the windows of their cars and others with people walking down the street throwing trash on the ground even when their are trash cans right in front of them. Those areas have a high presence of rats and high levels of crime. Those neighborhoods that do not tolerate rats and crime, have very few incidences of both. We must ALL work together to do the same and adopt "BEST PRACTICES" from other neighborhoods. If we can ALL WORK TOGETHER to STOP this type of behavior, then the problem of rats and crime will drop significantly. Thank you for posting. Please like and subscribe because I will showcase neighborhoods in Baltimore that don't have these problems. Peace and Love!
Ryan homes builds cheap houses and sells them over priced. Especially how beautiful some of the original homes around the way are inside. I get a lot of been ran down with poverty a now there going to price people out
Ryan homes has a luxury division with NV Homes. The NV Homes models bring more features than the ones built by their Ryan division. I agree that this development will increase in value. They start with 17 homes in the grand opening with the first starting at $399,990 for the 3 story model and $415,000 for the 4 story model. I get calls to help people Moving to Baltimore and those Living in Baltimore that want to own a home in the Bolton Hill, Reservoir Hill and now Reservoir Square community. The Madison Square Apartments were considered a problem by Baltimore City and the home owners in the area. The residents of the apartments also complained. I guess they felt the best thing to do was to knock them down and start fresh. Check the crime rate in the before, during and after and let me know what you think. Thank you for watching, I have more to show on this neighborhood and others in Baltimore City. Please LIKE, SHARE and SUBSCRIBE!!! It really goes a long way.
Not sure how The Wire was good for Baltimore. It actually created a negative impression of Baltimore. As I traveled the country, people would ALWAYS ask me if the life in Baltimore is like the tv show The Wire. I tell them IT IS NOT!!! This new home development, and others, is proof that Baltimore is growing and undergoing a BIG CHANGE. How do you feel about the more than 240 neighborhoods that make up Baltimore City? They all bring their own flavor and most are thriving. How do you feel about those? Thanks for watching. Please Like and Subscribe!!! Peace
Fortunately, channels like this one and others can show you a better side of Baltimore. I travel the world and ALWAYS get questions about Baltimore. Whatever is being said about Baltimore can likely be said about other Metro areas around the country. But Baltimore is TRULY Charm City. The things of the past are being renovated and all of the problems are being eradicated. The development in this video used to be referred to as Murder Mall. It has since been cleaned up, renovated and now new life is coming to the area. Thank you for watching. Please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE because I have a TON of GOOD THINGS to say about Baltimore. Peace!!!
@@tiadeese it's down to design honestly, they could've easily had molds to create a variety of decorative moldings to add to the windows and roof edges. Those white bays just cheapens the style a bit.
Just like everything else, it takes all types. I've sold homes to people who love the location, or the builder and some as simple as how the bedrooms and bathrooms come together. Thank you for watching. Please stay tuned for more. Hopefully, I will cover something that you really like. Peace.
Yo had to tell yall this guy hve no ideal wht he talking about ,the house he showed tht are new, r fake houses for ventilation for the under ground train station . Tht whole area is own by am track, he doesn't have clue about wht he talking about
Thank you for that insight. Please explain your point of view because the MTA Light Rail, Metro Train and the AmTrak do not run underground in this area. There is an underground tunnel about 2 miles away, that is used by freight trains, but it does not under this development. As for the houses, they are REAL houses. I'm not sure how a fake house can be built and have people enter into a physical structure, but thanks for your comment. Thank you again. Peace.
PEACA@DEXTERYEARGIN387. 😂😂😂EXACTLY. YOU JUST LET THE CAT OUT THE BAG. THEY ARE FORCING PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR HOMES TO BUILD THE UNDERGROUND TRAIN SYSTEM. NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO AFFORD THESE POORLY BUILT OVER PRICED HOMES BUT THE RICH! BALTIMORE WORKING POOR -LOWER MIDDLE CLASS HAS TO LIVE IN SQUALER. THE CITY REFUSED TO OFFER US ANYTHING BETTER! THE OLDER HOUSES ARE SELLING FOR OUTRAGEOUSLY PRICED HOMES THAT WE CANNOT AFFORD TO PURCHASE. ONCE THE AVERAGE WORKING CLASS PEOPLE MOVE THEY WILL DROP THE PRICE. MR. WATKINS IS DOING A GREAT JOB SELLING THESE HOMES! HE NEEDS 3 BONUSES AND 4 RAISES.
As Flavor Flav used to say, "Don't Believe The Hype" That's the job of the news media. It sells more advertising when they make up these stories. Check the Google sites to get more information on the crime statistics.
Thank you Kelly. I understand. Maybe there is something else I can help you find in Baltimore, especially since Baltimore City is offering incentives towards home owners purchasing homes in the City. They offer forgivable loans and grants that you can STACK as FREE MONEY to buy Your New Home. If you're interested, again, hit me up. Thanks for watching. Please LIKE, SHARE and SUBSCRIBE!!!

Crime is currently down by 33%.
We still got work to do but Baltimore city is on pace to have its lowest crime rate since the 1970s

I have a home on Eutaw Pl that I was 4tunate enough 2 buy from my landlord, so this new development is much needed. Reservoir Hill is a lowkey gem n Baltimore. Close 2 I83 & I95, Penn Station, Lightrail, & more.
I'm hoping they put a shopping center there similar to Northwood Commons n East Bmore by Morgan. The space is more than big enough. The community can use that, esp a nice grocery store (Harris Teeter would b nice), gym, dining, 24hr laundromat, etc.
My only concern is parking & traffic.
There is so much going on in Baltimore. The administration is likely goin to go up to Coppin and revitalize everything from one end of North Avenue to the other.
@movingtobaltimore It's much needed & well overdue. I really hope the people of Baltimore appreciate the change. It will come with a small price, but will be well worth it.
I also own on Eutaw place. In the 2400’s
@@paulataffeadams6084 I'm in the 1800s block.
Wow it’s in the heart of the hood say that
Of course not. But they will find away to get the poor out, maybe some section 8 vouchers, or a couple of other ones that move the poor to the county, and move the rich in the city. Again it’s never about ordinary people/ citizens. But hey what do I know
Well, Baltimore is changing. The Maryland Institute College of Art, (MICA) is playing a large role for what happens in the area. With communities like Bolton Hill, Reservoir Hill and now Reservoir Square and a new, state of the art, school building, things are different in this community. If you watch the Part 2 video that I posted, you will get a better understanding of what was and what will be. Leave a comment and let me know what you think after you watch Part 2. Thank you.
I lived on Eutaw Place beautiful area and we had no problems living there. My son went to school just down the street. They are building that area up, schools, supermarket and parks in the area .
They also built a Unity Hall 5600 block of Eutaw Place across from the supermarket and school. Really nice community building.
That is not the heart of the hood be fr...there are hoods close by but you can say that for anywhere
Calvin Watkins Jr. is the Realtor who’s always working hard to find you, your new home !
They are building up Druid Hill Park area around the reservoir. Really nice area and if you can afford to buy, that’s the area to invest !
52 year ago we had an apartment on Eutaw Place . They did the houses over in Bolton Hill area and they sold for $1 million or more. Calvin Watkins Jr. thanks for taking the time out to show us the New construction going up . Beautiful three story homes with garages .
Get on that List with Calvin because you can’t find a better person to help you find your new home .
Love what you are doing Calvin Ms. Rogers
WOW!!!! Thank you SOOO VERY MUCH Ms. Rogers. I agree, the investment that Baltimore has always been looking for is finally here. New home developments in communities that were once a blight on the areas and now booming with new home construction. Thank you again for the kind words. All The Best to you. 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
I love the brick..
I too LOVE the brick. Even when these brick homes are remodeled, I like exposed brick. Thank you for watching. Please LIKE, SHARE and SUBSCRIBE!!! It really goes a long way. 👍👍👍
Same thing is happening in Richmond Va I love your accent ❤
Thank you. I think Richmond VA and Baltimore have a few things in common. I'm going to look into that. Thank you and I appreciate you LOVING my accent!!!!! LOL
Nice building. Close to everything. What happened to the people? I know folks are padding their pocket, but where are the people? Those that needed assistance, were they rehoused? Seniors? Disabled? Any grants for them to purchase?
Great question. I'm working on that backstory now and will post if for another video. From what I understand, there will be apartments built close by for those that can't afford to purchase one of these townhomes. Please stay tuned. Like, Subscribe and share. It really helps the channel. Thank you.
Been eyeing this development for some time now
Many have been. They have 700 people on the waitlist.
I just moved into my duplex located on N. Pulaski St.
I'm replacing windows & carpet along adding a privacy fence.
That's GREAT!!!! I have family near there and used to ride my bike on that part of Pulaski as a kid. Good luck with everything!!!
I'm from Baltimore (city/county). Some of my family (steele, watkins, love, etc.) came from NC (beaverdam, rockingham, & hamlet) up to Baltimore. My great grandmother was a watkins, so I was wondering if you're family was from there too? My aunt use to have a hair salon on north ave, my great aunt lived off of north ave (behind the penn/north station), & so did my granddaddy, in a senior apt complex (i think bolton or reservoir).
HEEEEY CUZ!!! That's AWESOME!!!😀😀😀
Calvin! Congratulations on this? When did you start this channel? It's good!
Hello Mia and thank you. It's been a minute. I have a few other channels about Real Estate. Check out @LivingInFrederick, @NewHomeConstruction, helping people buy, sell and invest in real estate. Please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE!!!💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
Property taxes? Baltimore got expensive 25 years ago, home prices and property taxes. Crime? Hope these new homes have reinforced doors and security.
Fortunately, Baltimore doesn't have a lot of B&E with criminals kicking in doors. All homes should have good security and these homes are no exception. Property taxes in Baltimore City are higher than those in surrounding counties. Baltimore faces a lot of difficulty but the future looks BRIGHT!!!
Thanks for watching.
Just hate that these developers are robbing Baltimore of it's architectural integrity. New homes are great, just wished they looked better.
I understand. But Baltimore has A TON of older homes with plenty of architectural value. They run from one side of Baltimore to the other. Especially in West Baltimore. Take a look at the marble steps on the row houses. My mother used to tell me stories about how they would wash the steps every weekend for pennies. That is part of the culture of Old Baltimore. Would be GREAT if there was a revitalization of the marble steps. Thanks for watching.
@@movingtobaltimoreare these homes HOA?
@@movingtobaltimore yes but a lot of them are dilapidated, condemned and abandoned that may not be able to be restored unfortunately
Great video
Thank you. We have plenty more to come. Please stay tuned.
I just bought a home in Baltimore made in 1920 4 bed 4.5 bath but the neighborhood is not good..yet..but theres no housing shortage in Baltimore..it's the best kept secret on the East Coast..
I agree WHOLEHEARTEDLY. I created this channel to showcase this BEST KEPT SECRET so look for more neighborhoods to come. Please like, subscribe and share. Thank you. 👍👍👍👍
I thought this was gonna be about Perkins Homes in East Bmore. This is Reservoir Hill in west Bmore.
Thank you for your interest. I'm working on Perkins, just have to get through to get all the info. Stay tuned. 👍👍👍👍
I attended MICA twice and this is a great look for Baltimore. Glad to hear those projects are long gone, but what happened to the occupants? I am curious.
MICA has been a major influence on the changes happening to North Avenue. I still remember the club O'Dells from WAY WAY back in the day. LOL. The projects were referred to as MURDER MALL. The occupants were likely given incentives to move elsewhere. Some to Baltimore County. Thank you for watching.
They gave them Section 8 to move. My neighborhood was good until crack hit. It went down in 10 years. Then they locked like 100 ppl up at one time.
I'm looking at this video like I was just on the bus right there 😂.. near seen Baltimore look so beautiful 😊
LOL!!! I remember hanging out at O'Dells just a few blocks up. And yes, Baltimore is a BEAUTIFUL CITY. The changes that are happening here are moving the city in the right direction. Thank you for sharing.
Baltimore is one of the top 25 cities being gentrified in 2024/2025. I’ve been living in the area for almost a year. It’s here to stay.
Any advice that you can give to those looking to Move to Baltimore? Besides them calling me to find a home in Baltimore. LOL. 😂😂😂😂
@@movingtobaltimore There’s growing pains for sure, but that’s Bmore. Great channel!
I live in the Milford Mill Community I am looking to move back into the city into a larger home what would be a good area in your in your opinion that would be safe affordable
@@pamelaflanagan9119 Affordabilty is relative, so not sure if I can answer that. The areas I would consider are Hampden and Canton. Beautiful townhomes that are 400k or less. If you’re looking for SFH then I’m not sure. I like Roland Park myself but it’s expensive.
I live in Baltimore county but Iam in Baltimore city many times in a week..This is a good project close to Johns Hopkins Hospital.The media does a misrepresentation of Baltimore as if people are shooting around all the time which isn't the case.Yes we can't ignore the gun violence in Baltimore but that isn't the face of this beautiful city..You gotta live in Baltimore to know that Baltimore is beautiful.If you keep reading about Baltimore in the news,you will never visit..Disregard the bad media portrayal of Baltimore and give it a shot...Baltimore is beautiful
BOOOM!!!! Exactly!!!! I have friends that work at ALL of the media outlets and they are HIRED to look for things that SELL NEWS to ADVERTISERS!!!! Baltimore is a BEAUTIFUL CITY and filled with BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE of all races, nationalities and creeds. Just like everywhere else on THE PLANET, we have a few bad apples. But Baltimore is BEAUTIFUL!!! Moving to Baltimore presents a GREAT opportunity to anyone looking to do so. Thank you for watching. Please like and subscribe. It really helps the channel. Peace
Its some beautiful and huge homes in this neighborhood...its a shame how cheap the new construction looks
I've heard that from others. Unfortunately, so many people think they don't need a Realtor to help them buy New Home Construction. I've seen and heard HORROR stories about those that didn't use a Realtor. Now, I do my best to encourage people to do so. I do this EVERY DAY. New Home owners do it once or twice in a lifetime. The two don't compare. Thanks for watching.
Man that was my Neighborhood. They took it for the University of Maryland.
Well, in this part of Baltimore, MICA, Maryland Institute of College and Art, is the BIG FISH in that pond. MICA is playing a HUGE ROLL in the transformation of this section of North Avenue. University of Baltimore is close by as well. Baltimore is changing and the fact that the builder of these homes has 700 people on a waitlist for 120 homes says others agree. Thank you for your comment. All the Best to you and your family.
I remember when they built the prior property that was there.
WOW!!! That's COOL. I still remember when they built the Inner Harbor and as a kid, going to tour the site seeing the things they found in the ground like ceramic dolls, cookware and whatnot. Thank you for sharing.
I lived in Bolton hill close to MICA for one year, then decided not to renew my rental contract and moved out of Baltimore 2022. I hope things get better in Baltimore, unfortunately I didn’t have a good experience myself and Bolton hill supposed to be a good area, so I don’t know how’s living in a bad area there be like? Hopefully things change!
Change is one of the guarantees in life. In time, all things change. Come back home. 😀
We learned about Baltimore permits on The Wire 😂
LOL!!! But Baltimore is BIGGER than the Wire. I HOPE they won't be doing anymore films like that here. It gave Baltimore a BAD NAME. Then, Life started to imitate ART. It's a NEVER ENDING CYCLE. Hopefully, Baltimore won't let anything like those TV series happen here again. LOL Maybe they will bring back The Andy Griffith Show and Mayberry. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😆😆😆😆😆😆
@@movingtobaltimore😂
Where are the parking spaces??
Each of these new homes will have a parking garage. I'm going back when they open the model. I'll give you all of the details then. Thank you for watching.
They need to build ranches. I left to get a ranch in Florida.
There are a lot of existing homes in Baltimore that are ranchers. They are located further on the outskirts of Baltimore City. Thank you for watching. Come back to visit when you can!!!
That's all they built. They've had enough time to put a whole development up. I guess some palms aren't getting greased.
It takes a while for permits to get approved in Baltimore City. The community associations meet once a month so they too have viable input as to what happens in the neighborhood. The communities around Bolton Hill and Reservoir Hill usually a TON of respect from the City Government.
Why haven't he mentioned the price? Why show without floor plan?
At the time of the video, they had not yet released pricing. As of this post, the prices start at $399,990. After the first phase, prices will increase. Please like and subscribe so that you can keep up with the updates. Thank you.
This is in Reservoir Hill, not Bolton Hill, which is why they call it Reservoir Square. The Residents of Reservoir Hill voted on the name
YES. Bolton Hill is one of the most respected communities in Baltimore. I'm glad the community has input. That's not always the case in Baltimore City.
high crime have to relocate criminals
This development has a plan for how they will handle the crime in the area and other parts of Baltimore City.

Yes it is still one of the worst places to live for crime and rats. All over Baltimore
Hello Danyel and Thank You for responding. I can all but guarantee you that not all neighborhoods in Baltimore are infested with crime and rats. I help people buy, sell and invest in real estate in communities and neighborhoods all over Baltimore and that is not the case for many areas of Baltimore. Some areas have an obvious problem with crime and rats. Other areas do not. There are some parts of Baltimore that you can drive through and see people throw trash out of the windows of their cars and others with people walking down the street throwing trash on the ground even when their are trash cans right in front of them. Those areas have a high presence of rats and high levels of crime. Those neighborhoods that do not tolerate rats and crime, have very few incidences of both. We must ALL work together to do the same and adopt "BEST PRACTICES" from other neighborhoods. If we can ALL WORK TOGETHER to STOP this type of behavior, then the problem of rats and crime will drop significantly. Thank you for posting. Please like and subscribe because I will showcase neighborhoods in Baltimore that don't have these problems. Peace and Love!
They are over West Baltimore
YES SIR!!!! 👍👍👍👍
Ryan homes builds cheap houses and sells them over priced. Especially how beautiful some of the original homes around the way are inside. I get a lot of been ran down with poverty a now there going to price people out
Ryan homes has a luxury division with NV Homes. The NV Homes models bring more features than the ones built by their Ryan division. I agree that this development will increase in value. They start with 17 homes in the grand opening with the first starting at $399,990 for the 3 story model and $415,000 for the 4 story model. I get calls to help people Moving to Baltimore and those Living in Baltimore that want to own a home in the Bolton Hill, Reservoir Hill and now Reservoir Square community. The Madison Square Apartments were considered a problem by Baltimore City and the home owners in the area. The residents of the apartments also complained. I guess they felt the best thing to do was to knock them down and start fresh. Check the crime rate in the before, during and after and let me know what you think. Thank you for watching, I have more to show on this neighborhood and others in Baltimore City. Please LIKE, SHARE and SUBSCRIBE!!! It really goes a long way.
The only good thing came out of Baltimore was the wire and the aquarium 😂😂
Not sure how The Wire was good for Baltimore. It actually created a negative impression of Baltimore. As I traveled the country, people would ALWAYS ask me if the life in Baltimore is like the tv show The Wire. I tell them IT IS NOT!!! This new home development, and others, is proof that Baltimore is growing and undergoing a BIG CHANGE. How do you feel about the more than 240 neighborhoods that make up Baltimore City? They all bring their own flavor and most are thriving. How do you feel about those? Thanks for watching. Please Like and Subscribe!!! Peace
Dangerous is all I hear about Baltimore
Fortunately, channels like this one and others can show you a better side of Baltimore. I travel the world and ALWAYS get questions about Baltimore. Whatever is being said about Baltimore can likely be said about other Metro areas around the country. But Baltimore is TRULY Charm City. The things of the past are being renovated and all of the problems are being eradicated. The development in this video used to be referred to as Murder Mall. It has since been cleaned up, renovated and now new life is coming to the area. Thank you for watching. Please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE because I have a TON of GOOD THINGS to say about Baltimore. Peace!!!
@@movingtobaltimore 😁
Them new homes have no character.
Neither do you hater..
@@Jaymoe-lh6rl😂😂😂😂
They're on a strict timeline to finish. The days of spending a year long on building one house are over. 😂😂😂
@@tiadeese it's down to design honestly, they could've easily had molds to create a variety of decorative moldings to add to the windows and roof edges. Those white bays just cheapens the style a bit.
Just like everything else, it takes all types. I've sold homes to people who love the location, or the builder and some as simple as how the bedrooms and bathrooms come together. Thank you for watching. Please stay tuned for more. Hopefully, I will cover something that you really like. Peace.
Lets be honest if you cant afford to be there they don't want you their!!
😂😂😂😂😂😆
Yo had to tell yall this guy hve no ideal wht he talking about ,the house he showed tht are new, r fake houses for ventilation for the under ground train station . Tht whole area is own by am track, he doesn't have clue about wht he talking about
Thank you for that insight. Please explain your point of view because the MTA Light Rail, Metro Train and the AmTrak do not run underground in this area. There is an underground tunnel about 2 miles away, that is used by freight trains, but it does not under this development. As for the houses, they are REAL houses. I'm not sure how a fake house can be built and have people enter into a physical structure, but thanks for your comment. Thank you again. Peace.
PEACA@DEXTERYEARGIN387.
😂😂😂EXACTLY. YOU JUST LET THE CAT OUT THE BAG.
THEY ARE FORCING PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR HOMES TO BUILD THE UNDERGROUND TRAIN SYSTEM.
NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO AFFORD THESE POORLY BUILT OVER PRICED HOMES BUT THE RICH!
BALTIMORE WORKING POOR -LOWER MIDDLE CLASS HAS TO LIVE IN SQUALER.
THE CITY REFUSED TO OFFER US ANYTHING BETTER!
THE OLDER HOUSES ARE SELLING FOR OUTRAGEOUSLY PRICED HOMES THAT WE CANNOT AFFORD TO PURCHASE. ONCE THE AVERAGE WORKING CLASS PEOPLE MOVE THEY WILL DROP THE PRICE.
MR. WATKINS IS DOING A GREAT JOB SELLING THESE HOMES!
HE NEEDS 3 BONUSES AND 4 RAISES.
Baltimore still is not safe
As Flavor Flav used to say, "Don't Believe The Hype" That's the job of the news media. It sells more advertising when they make up these stories. Check the Google sites to get more information on the crime statistics.
NO THANKS
Thank you Kelly. I understand. Maybe there is something else I can help you find in Baltimore, especially since Baltimore City is offering incentives towards home owners purchasing homes in the City. They offer forgivable loans and grants that you can STACK as FREE MONEY to buy Your New Home. If you're interested, again, hit me up. Thanks for watching. Please LIKE, SHARE and SUBSCRIBE!!!
