Flickr Finds: Baltimore Rowhouses Washington DC

Less than an hour away from DC, Baltimore is a great place to escape for a day trip. With all the interest on last week's post The Wire and Baltimore's Architecture, we're rounding up some amazing photos of Baltimore rowhouses. Remember to tag your flickr photos with "Apartment Therapy DC" and join our group! More incredible Baltimore photos below the jump...

Hey! That third photo is my view every morning. I live on the block featuring photos 1 and 3... Locally they're called the Painted Ladies.

heh, I thought the first one was from this block:

I live over in Hampen - quite an eclectic mix of people and architectural styles. Not to mention the nutty xmas decorations!

oh, sometimes I see shops profiled here. I wonder if the DC contributor(s) have ever been to Red Tree in Baltimore, located on 36th street. They have a fantastic collection of furnishings and decorative items. Very cool shop indeed.

kvh- We're practically neighbors, I live a few blocks over. And it's a sign of being a true Baltimoron when my first thought about the top picture was, how did they get everybody to clear off the porches for the photo shoot?

I don't know how to post a photo of my house (I'm challenged!) but I live in a wonderful old (as in 1800s) schoolhouse in Baltimore. It is fabulous. I just painted my door a bright yellow, as an ode to those wonderful homes in Denmark. It looks so nice. I think Baltimore's best looking rowhomes are in Bolton Hill and Resevoir Hill (of course most are rundown). Though Federal Hill (on Montgomery and Warren Streets) and Mt. Vernon (Cathedral Square), Charles Village (the Victorians) and Fells Point (the little really historic ones) have amazing rowhomes. For amazing detached homes, of course Roland Park, Mt. Washington, Homeland, and Guilford rock. Then, just 20 minutes north of Baltimore, you can be in rolling hills and beautiful horse country.

baltimore is gross. get out while you can.

I live in DC, but Bmore is the place for real estate. Just be careful. Sellers are starting to up their prices, and most people won't want to spend DC rent prices for Baltimore.

Bmorebent, where is your little schoolhouse?? Was it zoned as commerical when you bought it? I would LOVE to do something like this.
Can you give me any advice?? Please? Thanks!

hello baltimore people! i like seeing posts about baltimore- a city with a bad rep, but i just love it. i second red tree as an amazing place. i am also a huge fan of in watermelon sugar, and if you are into crafty things, chelle paperie has some great paper! i actually live in mount vernon now and love it. some of my favorite architecture in the area is over by the Black Olive in Fell's Point- i love Shakespeare Street and Bond Street. i am not originally from baltimore (fort worth, tx actually) but we are currently looking at houses in the Hampden area- i love it here!

Hey all! I'm in Pigtown! Baltimore is a city to watch. It may seem a little sketchy at first sight/visit (for out-of-towners), but there's so much character to this city. I find it faaaaaaaar more interesting than DC (where I lived for 8 years before moving to Baltimore).

BTW, DC wasn't such a desirable place to live merely 10 years ago. Look at it now. That's why it's best to ignore nasty little comments by the likes of closer.

I visited Baltimore once and totally loved it! The bad reputation is undeserved.

Baltimore deserves way, way more love than it gets.
But then part of the fun is being an underdog, right?

My blog recently profiled Red Tree in Hampden... it really is a fantastic shop:
