What do you consider the next "hot" baltimore neighborhoods

There are no magic orb that we can see what's up coming eh..if we can all of us will be rich. LOL
Brac will have a little effect on Baltimore City but not towards real estate market. We are looking for like retails and tourism. Baltimore County and Harford county will be benefiting from the 1st part of the Brac relocation to Aberdeen Proving Ground...look for the water front east side area.
Fort Meade on the other hand just make the area and surrounding more expensive lol

Any currently "undeveloped" neighborhood around the water is going to pick up in price - that would be Westport, parts of Cherry Hill (laugh now, but I see it coming), O'Donnell Heights, etc. They're already making big plans in Westport, from what I understand - all of those empty buildings are going to be razed, and there are blocks and blocks of dilapidated housing that any development company will be itching to get their hands on.

I see the area around Johns Hopkins Hospital gaining more value as well - some houses down there are positively gorgeous, and you can see that there's been money put into them. That neighborhood might take a lot more time, though, as it's not close to a lot of amenities. The remaining projects would have to be eliminated before it'll get better there.

Definitely Westport, though.

If Baltimore ever attracts enough good paying jobs to replace the employers lost in the 1970's, the city will have a chance.

But, not to strike the same note too often(hey, it works for Philip Glass!), until the corruption and dysfunction are being eliminated(not addressed, dammit, eliminated!)Baltimore will lag behind.

When the City was still sort of working, it was cute, like New Orleans, but now, it's a matter of survival.

Baltimore has had several aborted revivals over the years, always, crime and the heedless greed of the political gangs have destroyed every one of them.

Not sure if I agree with you. There are still a number of good paying jobs in the area. I think Baltimore has one of the smallest unemployment rates in the country. I never thought Baltimore was like New Orleans although both are port cities. In general, Baltimore's progress has been remarkable from my point of view.

I did notice that when we moved here -- most of the jobs were in the service sector, the universities, or law/banking. Outside those areas there were few opportunities...unlike other cities. Hopefully this is changing/will change. It's been a while since I've looked for a job.
