I could see the band shell, the [...]

Have you become bored of the same old houses for sale, week after week? Are you tired of browsing the same boring listings that never seem to change? Do you ever wonder, “Where are all of the houses that are new to the market? Where can I find those?” This, gentle reader, is why we [...]

Baltimore Real Estate Round-Up: Downtown Condos!
October 20th, 2009 No Comments
Sometimes when we’re bored and watching movies about high-powered lawyer types who live in luscious high-rise apartment buildings, a not-small twinge of private jealousy surges in our stomach. It just seems so cool: taking an elevator home, overlooking the city from a balcony, being a high-powered lawyer type, oh, why not? And if we’re going [...]

Real Estate Round-Up: Ah, Remington!
October 13th, 2009 No Comments
In between the collegiate atmosphere of Charles Village and the hipster haven of Hampden lies a little neighborhood that escapes the attention of too many Baltimoreans: Remington.

You could live with that trim you don’t like and that ugly carpet… or, you could completely rehab a house, renovating to your specifications, making everything yours and perfect.

September 22nd, 2009 1 Comment
Seton Hill is a funny little neighborhood. It’s just sort of tucked out of the way, a little forgotten, almost as if the city one day woke up and said, “Hey, where’s Seton Hill?
